Garden Ice Bath VS Cold Shower

A garden ice bath is a more comprehensive and intensive form of cold water therapy than a cold shower. A cold shower offers almost the same benefits, such as increased energy and mental clarity, but the ice bath goes further in refreshing and stimulating the body and can be used for body recovery. We have listed the benefits of taking an ice bath versus a cold shower for you:

  • An ice bath gives a more intense experience than a cold shower. Because you are in an ice bath with your whole body, the body will give a better response than a cold shower in which one body part gets cold each time.
  • Using an ice bath in the garden saves a lot of water compared to taking a cold shower. You can leave an ice bath for at least 2 weeks, and if you maintain it properly, the time period will be even longer. Therefore, this will save you a lot more water than taking a cold shower.
  • Taking an ice bath allows the muscles to recover faster. A cold shower can also aid in muscle recovery, it will just not be as effective in the end versus taking an ice bath.
