HeadPlunge involves immersing the entire head, including the skull, in cold water at 40°F (4°C) for 60 seconds each morning, amplifying the physical and mental benefits of traditional cold immersion practices. By fully submerging the head, HeadPlunge intensifies the activation of the diving reflex, leading to greater reductions in heart rate, enhanced blood flow to vital organs, and a deeper sense of calm. Unlike face-only immersion, full-head submersion stimulates the scalp, promoting hair follicle health and circulation, while also enhancing brain oxygenation and reducing localized inflammation around the skull. The practice improves mental clarity, boosts mood, and supports emotional regulation by triggering a more pronounced release of norepinephrine and endorphins. Additionally, it strengthens the immune system, increases white blood cell activity, and supports neurological health. Accessible and efficient, HeadPlunge is an elevated wellness technique for those seeking deeper physiological and mental benefits.
