Everything You Need to Know
About Cold Plunging in Dubai

Cold plunging, also known as cold water immersion, involves submerging your body in cold water (typically 3-15°C) for short periods. The cold triggers your body's natural stress response, activating the sympathetic nervous system and releasing hormones like norepinephrine and dopamine, which can improve mood, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery.

For most healthy adults, cold plunging is safe when done correctly. However, you should consult a doctor before starting if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, Raynaud's disease, or are pregnant. Start with warmer temperatures (12-15°C) and shorter durations (1-2 minutes), gradually working your way to colder temps as your body adapts.

In Dubai's climate, a chiller is highly recommended for outdoor use. Without one, you'd need to add ice constantly, which becomes expensive and impractical. A 1HP+ chiller can maintain cold temperatures even in summer when outdoor temps exceed 45°C. For indoor placement with AC, a smaller chiller may suffice.

Yes, but you need equipment rated for extreme heat. Look for:

• Chillers with 1HP or higher for outdoor use
• UV-resistant shells and covers
• Good insulation to reduce chiller workload
• A shaded location helps significantly

Many suppliers offer products specifically designed for Dubai's climate.
