Immerse yourself in Cold Therapy
Ice baths are a form of cold water immersion, which may improve the natural recovery process of the human body.*1
Potential benefits of ice baths post-workout:
- Reduce muscle soreness: Ice baths may reduce muscle soreness, allowing athletes to recover faster and get back to training sooner.*2
- Speed up recovery time: By increasing blood flow, ice baths may help speed up the recovery process and reduce the risk of injury.*3
- Improve circulation: Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict, which can improve circulation and reduce swelling.*4
While ice baths can be effective for recovery, they may not be suitable for everyone. People with heart conditions or other health concerns should consult with a trusted health professional before trying an ice bath. It's also important to gradually acclimate your body to cold water by starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing the duration and frequency over time.
Get the max out of your ice bath with Reishi. Known as the Zen mushroom, invite restfulness and rejuvenation into your post-workout routine.*
