ResetBrass Monkey ice baths work because they are designed and crafted by people who are passionate about ice baths and understand the benefits of cold therapy. Starting from a fascination with the Wim Hof method and an unassuming chest freezer, Brass Monkey has evolved into a world leader in ice bath products and technology. Handmade using the finest materials for extra durability whether indoor or outdoor, Brass Monkey ice baths are built to last, ensuring your body sees the benefits of years of cold therapy treatment.
Ice baths may sound as though they are great for the body but is it worth immersing yourself in freezing cold water for a few minutes a day? At Heracles Wellness, we say “YES”, as ice baths, cold plunges or cold therapy offer the following benefits:
We’ve all applied an ice pack or ice block to reduce pain and swelling after a small injury and ice baths are no different. Ice bath recovery helps constrict blood vessels, which reduces inflammation, helping to limit swelling and tissue breakdown after exercise.
After a cold plunge, blood vessels expand. This allows fresh oxygen and other nutrients into your muscles while removing waste such as lactic acid.
Regular exposure to cold temperatures increases your white blood cell production leading to an improved immune system response. This can, in turn, reduce your chance of developing respiratory infections.
Let’s be honest, the moment most people step into a freezing cold ice bath their first instinct is to get out as quickly as possible. It challenges both body and mind and activates your “fight or flight” response. Having the ability to stay in the chilling temperature helps your nervous system stay calm under intense conditions leading to better management of stress in day-to-day life. Just two minutes of cold therapy can trigger the release of adrenaline and dopamine which boosts your mood and reduces stress.
At Heracles Wellness we offer a premium collection of Brass Monkey ice baths along with a collection of brilliant, durable and expertly crafted ice bath tubs and cold plunges to support your recovery and mental wellbeing. However, if ice baths are a bit too cold for you, shop our range of saunas to get the best that heat has to offer. When you shop with Heracles Wellness your journey to recovery and body restoration is on the right path.
