Wim Hof's Top 10 reasons to take cold showers & ice baths 🧊 

So happy to hear this! Can you share with us the methods you followed and maybe the diet you were on? God bless you and your health.

@jedicouncil66 check out the videos under the channel "Advanced Gerson Therapy" is run by Dr Vickers. I have a couple interviews on there with him and he does a great job breaking down the science behind it. Breathing techniques was simple. I would do a routine prior to cold water emersion (at least 2 mins) head and neck area minimal. I also believed in myself and would have meditation sessions focusing on mentally simulating my immune system. I would do this prior to sleep.

​@@michaelkahler4406Absolutely amazing, thank you for sharing. I will absolutely check out the channel and interviews. I am so glad to hear of your recovery, you deserve a good , healthy life. Share your story as widely as possible!

Im so happy to read this! Check out: 5 tibetan rites

Also Water fasting, and almost vegan diet, and calethenics

Paaaaaaaaannnnniiiiiicccc attaaaaaaaaackkkss. Had them non stop after my dad passed away this year. It’s been a month since I have stopped em, well I sometimes almost get one but I’m able to not resist too much anymore and IT FREAKING GOES AWAYYYYYY 🎉

Is that panic attacks from anxiety? I get them sometimes, does cold showers help?

@@Anonymous-mv9bm Yeah I have GAD and constant anxiety that skyrockets when I get any amount of stress. It’s like taking a pill that clears all your problems away in that moment. You focus on nothing but the cold

Yeah cold exposure does help a lot. Do a 3 min ice shower every morning it changes you it helps so much. Combine it with journaling self therapy, exercise, a more positive mindset and making other changes to turn my life away from the negativity like not drinking alcohol anymore and i am an absolute new human being. I feel like im tapping into parts of me i never thought id see again. Stay strong everyone!!

@@eyeslikeoceans I find the same thing. A cold bath greatly reduces panic symptoms.

Amen fuck yahhhhhhhhhh

Let's not go overboard. It would be gud to get all world leaders together for a course tho. In a perfect world.

He’s a fraud, man. Wake up. He’s actually being sued for the death of a teen following his dangerous ways. My son was frost bitten because of Wims call to trek in the snow barefoot, claiming frostbite is nothing. Give me s break and stop poisoning folks.

@@frankvignola5545 idk man, I learned of cold exposure therapy from him and it has changed my life. Cold showers and ice baths have really helped me. He's not a fraud, he has been tested and studied by many scientists.

@@frankvignola5545 Okay so I just finished reading an article about him being sued, he's not going to be because I've read his book and he specifically states NOT to do his breathing method in water because you can pass out. He literally warns against doing so. You are supposed to do the breathing method before cold exposure

Beautiful combination of his breathing exercises, cold exposure, and the wonderful exercise that is swimming. Good for you!!

Beautiful, thank you for sharing!

wow that's amazing! 😀

Awesome ! Thank you for sharing your testimony.🥳💫you are an inspiration to me.

You stay in the river for an hour?

You are absolutely right about Wims voice and talk here. Will try this 🚿, too! 🙏🏼

So true...just listening to him calms me down

I play it to remid me of why im going threw the torture. LOL Im on like 185th day. But I cant say I enjoy it until i get out! I need reminded!!!

He didn't give you a ❤️ emoji, must've thought your comment was weirdo style.

@@JujuPig-vz5mq i didnt get one either..lol

You are a time-stamping hero!!!

Thank for catering to people like me who has a attention span of a monkey so can’t watch a 8 minute video with peace 😅

Peoppe like you are necessary

​@@jitubhaskar4474maybe take some time off your phone for a longer while. It will help with your attention span alot. Especially when people using social media for longer times their attention spans seems to be shorter then the ones who don't use it as much.

MIRACLES OF THE QURAN Fourteen centuries ago, God sent down the Qur'an to mankind as a book of guidance. He called upon people to be guided to the truth by adhering to this book. From the day of its revelation to the day of judgement, this last divine book will remain the sole guide for humanity. The matchless style of the Qur'an and the superior wisdom in it are definite evidence that it is the word of God. In addition, the Qur'an has many miraculous attributes proving that it is a revelation from God. One of these attributes is the fact that a number of scientific truths that we have only been able to uncover by the technology of the 20th century were stated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. However, the Qur'an is not a book of science, it is a book of Signs! Many scientific facts that are expressed in an extremely concise and profound manner in its verses have only been discovered with the technology of the 20th century. These facts could not have been known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, and this is still more proof that the Qur'an is the word of God. In order to understand the scientific miracle of the Qur'an, we must first take a look at the level of science at the time when this holy book was revealed. In the 7th century, when the Qur'an was revealed, Arab society had many superstitious and groundless beliefs where scientific issues were concerned. Lacking the technology to examine the universe and nature, these early Arabs believed in legends inherited from past generations. They supposed, for example, that mountains supported the sky above. They believed that the earth was flat and that there were high mountains at its both ends. It was thought that these mountains were pillars that kept the vault of heaven high above. However all these superstitious beliefs of Arab society were eliminated with the Qur'an. In Sura Sad, verse 2, it was said: "God is He who raised up the heavens without any support..."(The Qur'an, 38:2). This verse invalidated the belief that the sky remains above because of the mountains. In many other subjects, important facts were revealed at a time when no one could have known them. The Qur'an, which was revealed at a time when people knew very little about astronomy, physics, or biology, contains key facts on a variety of subjects such as the creation of the universe, the creation of the human being, the structure of the atmosphere, and the delicate balances that make life on earth possible. Now, let us look at some of these scientific miracles revealed in the Qur'an together.

I second that. It clears the passages and the mucus gets expelled. What also helped me was before turning to cold, I use a nose shower while showering. After the shower I almost can smell colors 😄

wow, Im excited to test these, as I have been suffering frim congestion and loss os smell for no reason, I can usually distinguish smells after about 2-3 hours later after waking up.

I live in Northwest Ohio and started cold showers 2 months ago and noticed I can breathe thru my nose and in the winter I’m always stuffed up. Started cold baths tonight, tub probably next

Wow this is amazing thank you for sharing! We suffer for our attachments.

It is!!!!!

Cool nick name!

Good to know... Thanks!

I've been 6 years and still the same. Bless the day I started.

I can't find the cold bath breathing exercises.. can you please share it? Thank you

Excellent comment! Thanks

It's the chronic long term stresses that kill you slowly. Read about this in one of Nissim Telebs books 🤙

Did you ever connect with Wim or his team about your book idea? I think that would be amazing! This needs to get into the schools. What I do to spread the benefits of cold exposure is jog around my neighborhood in just my shorts throughout our cold Canadian winters. Gets people's attention when it's -20 ° C 😜🤙

All the love!

thanks for the honest advice, the people on the video make it look too easy.

@@H-youtube7 Try hot/cold showers for the first year, then go cold. It will be easier to develop the habit and stick with it permanently. In time, I actually preferred the cold showers. The first ninety seconds will always be an adjustment. But you get used to it. The best part is the adrenaline rush you get for about fifteen minutes after you get out of the shower.

Thanks - I hope it will get easier. Been doing it for 10 days, starting with a warm shower then colder and colder. Still find it difficult but am pressing on.

@@betcarbery46 I actually did hot/cold showers for two years. Before I went cold. Trust the process. I told myself I would do a cold shower everyday, until it became normal. For me “normal” came at about four months. I will never go back to warm showers. The rush after the shower is awesome. Hang in there! ✝️

@@Brian-rs4ug Thanks for encouragement - appreciated

Have you ever done a icebath? For some reason I find cold showers harder to do. Flowing water definitely makes it colder but the water temperature is higher. Curious to see what others think.

@@blackcat4859I’ve only done cold showers but I feel more effort would be required to allow your body to get into the ice

Really enjoy your channel as well! Tons of great content. I'm also in Texas (RGV). Where did you pick up the water chiller?

Does the water chiller work pretty well ?

Would love to see a video of your setup!

pointless dangerous activity

@@Ret_Linemanwater chillers work amazing provided that you get one that is powerful enough to cool the amount of water in the tub. I have to water chillers that is used in the past to cool my water cooled computer and it would get the temps down to around 2C-4C it’s less work than always having to buy or make your own ice however with the water chiller it take at least 30 minutes give or take to start chilling the water depending where you have the tube inside the house or outside. Outside the house is better especially depending on how cold it get outside meaning less time for the water chiller it takes to get the temperatures really low.

do you wet your hair when taking the cold shower? I see no one in the video wets their head

​@@calantha203 I do but be carefull with brainfreeze😂

@@calantha203 I do but only for about 10 seconds at a time as it will start to hurt your head if it's constantly running on it. With my 5 minute cold shower I keep the cold water running over the body and then every so often during those 5 minutes I'll put my head under it so it flushes my hair and face with cold water. I probably do this about 3 times during the 5 minutes so in all it's about 30 seconds.

@@cornelishenk4569yes I got that. I went in the sea. Freezing water was ok but coming out was terrible. My head hurt so bad and I was in bed sick for two days. Will not submerge my head again unless it’s above that temperature.

@@melodyjane8301 You need to do it slower. It's possible to do it but in open water like lakes and the sea you need to be prepared. I did it in a frozen lake but it felt like a huge physical battle afterwards. In sea I can imagine the flow is pretty reckless.

🤣

On the video I see nobody putting their face or hair... I want to start but don't know if I take cold shower, should I cover my long hair,?

​@@calantha203sure, get your face wet once at least.

I started his breathing 5 years ago and still a daily routine. It has helped tremendously, still working on the cold as this was always my nemesis

@frank beaulieu how long is the cold showers each time?

@@akirahojo2 5 to 10 each mornig, sometimes 15 mins these days cause the water is around 12 degrees , my record was 15 minutes at winter cold 4 degrees

do you wet your hair when taking the cold shower? I see no one in the video wets their head

@@CosmicMindSense ?

how long do you stay in the cold shower?

This is how I started and I've recently started having 100% cold ones for about ten minutes. They feel amazing now. I quite literally look forward to having them. Come out feeling buzzing in body and mind for hours after.

@@vickiewessel2478 start at 15 seconds and then work it up by 5 seconds at a time until you get to 1-3 minutes. Then if you are comfortable increase a little further to 5 minutes which is where I'm at now. I may increase to 7 or even 10 minutes in the future but I think 10 minutes is the max (or so I've been told).

@@greenkitty82 thank you

@@vickiewessel2478 you're welcome. It took me about half a year to get to 5 minutes as I was gradually increasing and then stayed at a certain time for a period as I wasn't ready to increase and then gradually when I felt ready I could increase a little more each time I showered. You can go to the cold 100% but if you are starting you do the cold shower after a warm one. My goal is to do 100% cold for 5 minutes and ice baths.

You grow to embrace it after a while. Blessup.

I see it as a spiritual guider who washes me with healing fluid. That's what I visualise when in cold. It's my spiritual healer.

My son just did ice bath with his partner in Finland 🇫🇮 They loved it! Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

@@viaja3569 Lovely!
