The Ultimate Guide to Ice Baths 3: How to Use Them？

Safety First: Precautions for Using an Ice Bath

1. Start gradually

If you're a beginner, avoid using extremely low temperatures or prolonged soaks right away. It's recommended to start with a milder temperature (such as 15°C) and soak for 2-3 minutes at a time. As your body adapts, gradually lower the temperature and increase the soaking time (generally no more than 10-15 minutes is recommended).

2. Manage duration

 An ice bath isn't about "longer is better." A single soak is recommended to be within 5-10 minutes. Prolonged exposure can lead to hypothermia or frostbite.

3. Listen to your body

 If you experience severe shaking, dizziness, nausea, or extreme difficulty breathing during your soak, stop immediately and exit the tub slowly. Safety always comes first.

4.Contraindications:

Avoid using an ice tub without consulting a doctor if you have any of the following health conditions:

Cardiovascular disease (e.g., high blood pressure, heart disease)

Raynaud's disease

Pregnant women

Those with skin diseases or unhealed wounds

5.Keep the unit clean and maintained

 Clean the acrylic surface and filter system regularly according to the instructions, and ensure adequate ventilation around the chiller to ensure long-term stable operation.
