A cold plunge is a form of hydrotherapy that involves immersing your body in cold water to help with recovery, reduce inflammation and boost circulation.

The ideal temperature for a cold plunge is around 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit (10-13 Celsius), but some people prefer colder water.

Cold plunges have been shown to help with muscle recovery after exercise, boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, increase energy and promote better sleep.

The recommended time for staying in a cold plunge is between 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on your tolerance level.

Cold plunges are generally safe for most people, but it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new therapy or exercise routine.

It is recommended that you do not use a cold plunge if you have an existing medical condition such as high blood pressure, heart disease or if you are pregnant.

Some people use cold plunges daily, while others use them a few times a week. It ultimately depends on your personal preference and how your body responds to the therapy.

It is important to regularly clean and maintain the water in your cold plunge pool to prevent bacteria growth.
