Cold plunge therapy involves full or partial immersion in cold water (typically 10–15°C) for 2–10 minutes. Originally used by elite athletes for rapid muscle recovery, it has exploded into mainstream wellness thanks to the Wim Hof Method and scientific research proving its benefits for inflammation, mood and mental resilience. Also known as ice bath or cold water immersion therapy.
