Samantha who is known for her fitness and beauty, has recently shared a video of herself taking an ice bath. In the video, she is seen sitting in a tub filled with ice for six minutes, while the temperature of the water is 4 degrees Celsius. She captioned the video as “Ice bath at 4 degrees Celsius. The best way to recover from a hard workout.”
But what is an ice bath and why do some athletes and celebrities swear by it? An ice bath, also known as cold water immersion or cryotherapy, is a practice of submerging oneself in very cold water (usually between 10 to 15 degrees Celsius) for a short period of time (usually between 5 to 15 minutes) after an intense exercise session or competition. The idea behind this is to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, speed up recovery, and improve performance.

If you are curious about trying an ice bath yourself, make sure you do your research and consult with your doctor first. Remember, ice baths are not a magic bullet and they may not work for everyone.
