For the first time, immerse yourself in the Ice Bath experience at The Standard, Hua Hin, a lifestyle hotel offering this refreshing activity under the name “Be Cool.” This experience is part of the Mud Lounge, surrounded by lush greenery and sunlight streaming through during the day, offering a unique and invigorating experience for both the body and mind in style.
An Ice Bath is designed to rejuvenate the body, originally popular among athletes. The benefits of immersing in ice-cold water include alleviating muscle pain, reducing swelling and inflammation, and accelerating muscle recovery. You may often see professional athletes, such as footballers or Formula 1 drivers, using ice baths after their competitions.
In recent years, the health and wellness trend has gained popularity, and people are becoming more focused on their well-being, not just through exercise but also by engaging in activities that reflect their care for their health. The Ice Bath has become one of the wellness trends over the past two to three years.
The benefits of cold water immersion, or Ice Bath, include:
Muscle Recovery: The cold temperature helps reduce inflammation and pain, making it an excellent option for athletes or anyone seeking relief after intense activities.
Improved Blood Circulation: Alternating between cold and warm temperatures or normal temperatures can stimulate blood circulation, promoting cardiovascular health and overall circulation.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Cold showers trigger the body’s natural stress response, helping to build resilience and mental strength. Cold therapy can reduce cortisol levels, improve mood, and stimulate dopamine production, which is a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of happiness when we get what we desire or experience something enjoyable.
Boosted Immunity: Regular exposure to cold can enhance immune responses, helping to protect against illnesses and infections.
Better Sleep: This results from the body’s recovery process and the relaxing effects of cold exposure.
To maximize the benefits of the cold bath experience, The Standard Spa starts with a breathing exercise that teaches you how to control your breath when immersing in ice-cold water. This practice provides skills you can apply in daily life. By learning to manage your breath, you can reduce stress, improve focus, and promote a calm mindset, making it easier to face daily challenges.
After your stimulating cold bath, you can warm up your body in the sauna, located nearby the spa. This helps relax your body and bring it back to its normal state after the cold exposure. Within the hour, you can choose to experience the cold bath again—giving you the flexibility to adjust your experience according to your comfort and preferences.
Experience this refreshing activity at The Standard Spa, or book a Stay Zen package for 1 or 2 nights, including breakfast, a health-focused program, relaxation, food, a 20% discount on spa treatments, and a choice between Be Cool or DIY Scrub + Mud.
