All of these words are being used to describe the same activity—exposing yourself to water at 59° or colder. As of now ice bath is the most common term searched among these.
You see many enthusiasts carve out ice in frozen lakes to plunge into the water below 33° - 36° F.
To replicate this experience, filling tubs or containers with ice and water has become mainstream practice. In addition, cold showers that can reach 59° can be effective, although they have not been studied as much as full body cold immersion.
Ice Baths or cold tubs that are fully self-sustained have emerged as a product category. Think of it like a cold spa or a cold jacuzzi.
Do it Yourself DIY ice baths can take 15 to 20 minutes to set up depending on water flow rate and the amount of ice. Chest freezers must be turned on and off precisely to prevent solid ice from forming and are not built for water use.
There are many ways to approach cold therapy. Perhaps the most elegant, versatile in helping you grow cold tolerance and experience health benefits are self-sustained ice baths.
Rather than dealing with the hassles of prep times, there are ice baths on the market that keep water temperature constant between 36°-59° F, qualifying as cold immersion therapy without the need for ice and set up times.
