Ice Bath Safety Guidelines
Important Precautionary Measures
Do not use ice baths if you are below 18, pregnant, have heart-related issues including high blood pressure, experience conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, visual impairment due to retinal damage, if you're a pacemaker user, have a history of severe cold injuries such as frostbite, any recent surgical wounds, epilepsy, Raynaud's Disease, allergic reactions to cold (cold urticaria), or suffer from cryoglobulinemia. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before using an ice bath if you're on medication or have conditions impacting your overall health.
How Ice Baths Affect Your Body
When you take an ice bath, it significantly lowers your core body temperature. This leads to a reduction in blood vessel diameter, known as vasoconstriction, and a decrease in blood circulation. In certain medical conditions, this could result in increased blood pressure and potentially elevate the risk of experiencing a stroke or cardiac arrest.
Be Aware of Potential Side Effects
The immediate and most obvious effect of an ice bath is a strong sensation of cold. However, if you stay in the ice bath for too long, it might lead to more serious conditions like hypothermia or frostbite. Other possible side effects include a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and in rare cases, severe allergic reactions. There's also a minor yet significant risk of cardiac arrest, especially when the body experiences severe stress due to extreme cold.
Our Recommendation:
For optimal safety and benefit, we advise starting your ice bath experience with brief immersions, limiting your initial sessions to just a couple of minutes. Gradually increase your time in the ice bath as your body adapts. Always monitor your body's reaction and step out if you feel any discomfort or unusual symptoms. It is crucial to avoid pushing your endurance limits during these sessions. Regular, moderate use of ice baths can be a valuable part of your wellness routine, offering benefits such as enhanced recovery and improved circulatory health, but always prioritize your safety and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
For optimal health benefits, it's generally recommended to immerse yourself in cold water at temperatures not exceeding 59° Fahrenheit (15°C) for a duration of 3-5 minutes. Keep in mind that the response to cold water therapy varies individually, with some people handling colder temperatures better than others. Its best to start with a minute or less and work your way up.
The key is to maintain water temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius for maximum benefits. In many places, tap water is between 10-12 degrees Celsius, which is sufficiently cold. You can lower the temperature further, by about 3-7 degrees, by adding varying amounts of ice.
For your SOMA cold plunge tub, ensure the lid remains closed when not in use to keep out debris. It's best to change the water weekly without adding chemicals. To improve the longevity of your tub, clean the inside with warm soapy water every time you drain it.
Maintain water clarity by regularly changing the water. Without the use of sanitizers, it's advisable to replace the water either weekly or after every 3-5 uses, ensuring a consistently clean and hygienic cold plunge experience.
Yes, each ice bath includes a thermal lid and a weather-resistant cover as standard.
The amount of ice depends on your climate and the temperature you're aiming for. In many regions, tap water is already around 10-12°C, which may be cool enough without ice. If you desire colder temperatures, adjust the ice accordingly. Our ice baths are insulated to help maintain your desired temperature efficiently.
