Every day we deal with stress - deadlines, relationships, financial burdens - but relief can be found in the most surprising of places: a basin of cold water. Immersion in cold water is known to stimulate the part of the brain that produces noradrenaline - a chemical that can alleviate stress.

Additionally, the plunge can train your body to better handle stressful situations over time. Repetitively teaching your body to calm itself after the shock of the icy water can make a marked impact on your ability to withstand daily stressors. It's a quick and simple practice that can improve the quality of your mental wellbeing.
