Ice bathing
Ice bathing is all the rage - whether to cool down after sport, to balance out everyday life or as a conscious cold ritual. Anyone who wants to customize ice bathing at home will find selected products for targeted cold applications here - such as a powerful cooling and heat pump that not only efficiently regulates the temperature of the water, but also reliably cleans it thanks to its integrated filter function - a real all-in-one system. The range is complemented by a particularly suitable pool for ice baths in your own home.
Is ice bathing suitable for everyone?
Many people report positive effects such as an increased sense of well-being or faster recovery. As beneficial as an ice bath can be, it is not suitable for everyone. If you have existing cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, circulatory instability or other pre-existing conditions, you should always seek medical advice before taking an ice bath. Pregnant women, children and very old people should also only use cold applications with particular caution or under supervision.
Safe ice bathing: Tips for getting started
For a safe ice bathing experience, it is advisable to follow a few basic tips: Ice bathing should never be done alone - an accompanying person can be crucial in an emergency. If you are new to ice bathing, ideally you should start with short applications and slowly acclimatize your body to the cold - for example by taking cold showers. Before bathing, it is advisable to warm up the body slightly and keep moving. The time spent in cold water should initially only be short, up to a maximum of two minutes. Body signals such as severe trembling, shortness of breath or numbness are always a sign to stop immediately.
After the ice bath: warm up properly
After the ice bath, it is advisable to slowly warm the body up again. Warm clothing, exercise and a hot tea or warm meal can help to gently stabilize the body temperature. An immediate hot shower should be avoided - the abrupt change in temperature can put unnecessary strain on the circulation and pose health risks.
