Winter bathing: a handbook

Produktinformation

By Lisa Bjerre, Heli Björkman, Ulf Huett.

Cold baths are hot! The first complete guide to winter swimming is here!

Practical tips and great inspiration for both the beginner and the experienced.

Across the country, people descend into ice floes, cold lakes and oceans. Some find pain relief and a cure for depression. Others experience a moment of stillness in a stressful everyday life. A cold dip is an experience within everyone's reach. It doesn't require any advanced equipment, long flight or big wallet.

Vinterbad takes up current research that explains the positive effects of the bath for both body and bud. The book discusses different breathing techniques, which are the key to longer baths. Here are tips for those who want to venture on their first dive and for the seasoned who want to liven up their experience. The guide also advises on travel destinations from Lapland's ice hotels with wakes to Skåne's cold bathhouses, all of which offer unique adventures.

So pack the towel and put on something warm. Once you experience the thrill of taking a cold bath, you'll never want to stop.
