Plunging into an ice bath, a lake, or even standing in a cold shower has been touted to fix anything from anxiety to asthma. But aside from the many anecdotal affirmations, does science say that getting in cold water can actually make you feel better?

The short answer is yes; Cold water plunges have been shown to offer a variety of health benefits, including reduced tension, fatigue, and pain relief, as well as improvements in mood. The mood benefits reported after cold water immersion are likely because it activates the body’s “fight or flight” response. The shock of being in cold water provides a quick, natural high by elevating levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in our brain.
