Idk. I think it can help a lot of people mentally. But for recovery I'm pre sure its been disproven. I mean, it doesn't make sense anyways. Why would slowing the chemical processes in ur body make it recover faster? And as for reducing "swelling", isn't swelling just more body coming to the part of the body to help it recover? Why would you want to negate that? I guess cause it takes away pain by numbing, so it gives the impression of recovery, but in reality I don't think it helps at all, physically.

cold water = stimulatory

hot water = relaxing

try staying asleep with bucket of cold water dumped on your head

Guys think that inflicting unnecessary stress and suffering on themselves will make them a REAL MAN. 90% of male "self improvement methods" are cortisolmaxing techniques that will probably end up ageing you decades if you did it consistently

It's funny, and actually quite evil that this stuff is advertised. Why can't people just chill and live long comfortable lives

tbh that could be the reason i like it

 i am naturally low cortisol and need the stimulation

it doesn't feel like stress though, kind of like exercise without moving
