Cold water therapy can be done at home using a bathtub. Buy a large bag of 5 or 10 lb ice cubes, or you can just use cold water from the tap, just fill the tub with cold water and let the water and ice sit for a few minutes to reach a low temperature.
Some people take their temperature before going in, while others may want to immerse their lower body and adjust the temperature by adding more cold, ice, or warm water according to feel.
If you plan to try a cool or cold water soak after exercising, control the time and temperature and don't overdo it. A review of studies found that an optimal routine of soaking for 11 to 15 minutes at 11 to 15 degrees Celsius was enough to reap the benefits and avoid the risks.
Taking a cold shower for a few minutes is another way to do cold water therapy. You can start with warm water and slowly transition to cold water, or you can stick to cold showers. This is the easiest and most time-efficient method of cold water exposure.
Some people like to take short dips in icy waters, such as lakes or oceans. This is a potentially dangerous practice, the cold water is indeed mentally and physically shocking, if choosing to swim in the sea or river always make sure you are accompanied by an observer and do warm up quickly afterwards to reduce the risk of hypothermia.
