The treatment
Supervised cold immersion in natural water where the site allows — the Engadin lake, the Aegean in winter — or purpose-built plunge baths held at 6°C elsewhere. Every session is preceded by breath preparation and followed by guided rewarming.
First-timers are walked in gently; experienced guests work toward longer, calmer immersions. The measurable payoff — a 250% noradrenaline rise, elevated mood for hours — arrives from the very first session.
Why it works
