Ice Bath

Service Description

Healing, in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine system, is based on a premise of opposites curing each other — for example, introducing cold to balance excess heat. In summer, Pitta Dosha (fire element) naturally elevates in our environment. Symptoms of excess Pitta are wide ranging, including inflammation, anger, acid reflux and other spicy sensations. Our ice bath, containing ocean water with ice from fresh water, ranges between 8-12°C. We suggest quickly immersing with a long exhale and lowering your arms right away. Initial shock may evolve into pins and needles, skin pain, changes in breathing and heart rate, erratic thoughts, or the urge to get out. This lasts about 2-3 minutes, roughly 10 long breaths. After the initial discomfort, a calm, powerful state of mind may inspire your actions throughout the day. The benefits of cold water immersions are only obtained at temperatures that feel uncomfortable, which is expressed differently for every person. Discomfort is a key component of benefiting from the experience. We encourage you to remain for a minimum of 3 minutes but you can get out whenever you want to. No additional benefit has been reported from durations longer than 5 minutes, when this time is reached we will ask you to step out of the tub. Afterward, let your body heat up naturally. Sit in stillness or do movements like standing twists, squats, or whole body shaking to promote internal heat. Bring a towel and a change of clothes. You can use our bathrooms to change, but we don't have showers. Discuss any health issues with your health professional before getting in the tub. This experience is not for those with diagnosed heart conditions, colds, or flu. If you have a family history of heart disease, other heart conditions, high or low blood pressure, or a history of fainting, get your doctor's approval first.
