After the warmth of the sauna, immersion in cold water awakens every cell. This dramatic contrast is not a challenge but a practice in balance—training the body to recover and adapt.
How It Works
Cold exposure constricts blood vessels and directs blood from the skin to the core. When you warm up again, vessels reopen, flushing oxygen-rich blood through the muscles. This cycle supports heart health, metabolism, and immunity.
Benefits of Cold Plunging
- Boosted circulation – the vascular “workout” strengthens vessel walls.
- Improved recovery – reduced inflammation and muscle soreness.
- Enhanced mood – cold triggers endorphins and dopamine release.
Safe Practice
Start slowly—10 to 30 seconds is enough for beginners. Focus on steady breathing rather than speed. Always exit if you feel numbness or dizziness. The goal is vitality, not endurance.
At Emerald Spa, cold plunges follow the Finnish rhythm: heat, cool, rest. Each cycle leaves you sharper, calmer, and quietly energised. We have a cool pool outside, as well as showers outside too.
