[sentientexplorer]

Cold showers have been a revelation for me. Daily showers have sent my energy and mood uplift sky high. Its a part of my routine that will be with my for life.❤👍❤

I having been healing from childhood trauma for past 5 years. It was first showing up as chronic pain (lots of doctors, surgeries & injections). I have healed that thru meditation & yoga & now pain free ( and being very active in the outdoors), but it now shows up in my sleep. I am waken usually every hour with
Painful, almost electric shocks in my legs. The only thing they helps is a quick cold shower during middle of night or simply splashing cold water on my face. Sometimes I need to repeat this 3x per night. For some reason it allows my body to relax me fall back asleep immediately!

[AmandeepSingh-rhzz]

Thanks a lot for the explaination. So simple and logical . Must say you have connected the dots of present moment, meditation, vagus nerve to emotions.

Cruelty is often merely discomfort of the onlookers.
I used to go back and forth between the Vulkan Szauna (80°) and the submerged in the cold pool, while others would either immediately flee from the sauna, or dip a toe into the pool and react as if they had been bitten. Unfortunately, Budapest is several hours from here.

Great video... well explained. I'm tring to heal from 15 years of opiate use due to a bad accident and an auto immune issue from Covid. My sympathetic nervous system and vegus nerve is all messed up causing me to have bad insomnia for a few years.

The first time I did a cold plunge (50 degree for 5 minutes) I had a massive trauma dump and sobbed like a child for a few seconds....

After several months of cold plunges I still experience issues from cold plunge. It can make me extremly tired some days.... but it fixed my insomnia. Some days I get great energy like I drank a cup of coffee. Sometimes I get a sense of neuropathy. It feels like my vegus nerve is vibrating to the point it feels a little uncomfortable.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Does the cold water help anxiety and depression and heal the central nervous system when it has been damaged by antidepressants?

[RiffBiffkin]

I was doing an ice bath for the first and started going into a kind of shock, as I left the water I moved to fast and my nerve in the neck ended up tightening up and pinching... I'm in a lot of pain now any ideas?

[hsiehkanusea]

I aqua-jog (shoulder injury limitation doesn't allow overhead stroke) almost every day 40 minutes in the sea, but it's kind of warm water, about 51 degrees F. It seems the cold provides an additional benefit to just the aqua-jogging itself. Not sure.

[KarlKrassnitzer-mmwb]

What is the reason that the pain after cold plunge fade away after aprox. one minute?

[lorisasser]

Would an ice wrap designed for the neck and shoulders help.

[apurvsharma]

I have IBS since March, can this help? Should I start taking cold showers? My condition is stress related doctors tell me, can cold showers help?

[ummeali]

Helo Sir. I m feeling shaky now a days please tell me is this vagus nerve problem? How can I fix it? Please help me 🙏🙏

[a-candersen]

I definitely recognize this shock reaction from getting into the cold water but I also want to add the incredible endorphine boost it gives me - really makes me HAPPY, and as that isn't enough it is immediately muscle relaxing for me as well. If I have tense shoulders, tensions somewhere in my muscles cold water loosens this up. I also get a benefit from getting into saltwater - feel my skin loves that, but if I cannot do that the ice cold shower can work as a good substitute :-)

[philbell]

Justin I'd really appreciate your thoughts about my particular situation. I have been thinking of using cold water therapy specifically cold showers but am reticent because I have sub clinical hypothyroidism and one of the symptoms I experience is intolerance to cold. I feel cold in temperatures that doesn't bother other people. What would your advice be if I decided to go ahead with this therapy. Thank you for all your work as I'm slowly viewing all your postings on YouTube.

[virginiajackson]

What was the temperature of the water you were swimming in?

[muyy]

whats your thought on cold/hot, contrast therapy...

and i heard cold water is giving you to sypmphtatic..
warm water is going to para-sympathatic..

[tessabrown]

How should I breathe when I go into the sea please? 🤔 or do you have a video on it please? I am almost able to reach the sea... I have eds ra and non healing ankle break, but almost able to walk on sand.... Water next! lol 😆
