Cold plunge vs ice bath – what’s the difference?

---

Cold plunges and ice baths are both cold water immersion (CWI) therapies, but ice baths are generally colder and more intense, using added ice for extreme temperatures of around 3°C-6°C. Cold plunges use dedicated tubs with built-in chillers to maintain milder, more controlled temperatures of 5°C-15°C for longer durations, making plunges more convenient and accessible for consistent wellness. Ice baths are generally more for intense, brief recovery.
