Is it possible to get frostbite form leaving a hand or something in a ice bucket for to long?

Dip your face at 20 sec intervals

Should really do Wim Hof breathing first if you don't want it to be such a painful experience, lol. It releases adrenaline and dulls the pain.

One of the secrets of the Hollywood stars is to immerse their face in ice-water, and then use petroleum jelly on their skin!

Are you aware of "cooling gloves" for "workouts"? It is supposedly more efficient than steroids in repairing muscle, The gloves create a "vacuum" so the blood vessels stay at the "surface" of your hands making the cooling much more effective. You should look into it...

It hurts so much , the feet was easier

Your hands should be numb buds...or get some more ice...it SHOULD hurt initially...then as the blood restricts, the pain should fade...

Was there still ice in the water? After I was swimming in close to 0 degrees for like 30m I couldnt take my car key out of my pocket. My friend had to help. But I have naturally very cold hands. (I mean really fucking cold, whenever someone complains about cold hands I let them touch mine. The good thing is that I have never felt a cold hand lol.)

Add salt. Salt will drop the freezing point and decrease the temperature. You can do the same with ice chests if you want really cold beer or drinks.

​@@LockenJohny101how is your hand now?

@@user-td3sl7wj9v Its fine, my comment was 2 years ago. Since then I was constantly adapting to the cold. Now I can still be comfy at 15 degrees with shorts and shirt. 10 is ok and 5 is cold but not freezing. With a backpack even colder temperatures are possible with just shorts and shirt. My hands have improved drastically, 3 years ago I couldt go without thick gloves for 20 Minutes even at temperatures below 5°C, I could barely move my hands and would need to warm then up for 10-15 minutes water when coming home. My hands are still rather cold, but I dont have any problems that are worth mentioning. Simply by wearing less clothing and NO GLOVES other then extreme conditions like cycling at -5°C(That was a year ago, I expect improvement here aswell, I think I could do that now). I would still wear only shorts and shirt, but that is only possible because moving creates heat. Same goes for shoes, I only wear shoes if broken glass can be expected or more then 4km of rocky ground (or social reasons). Even -10°C is bearable bare foot, snow too, but dont get your feet wet at such temperatures.

4 months on, just wondering how did this go for you?

Where in NC are you I would love to try

That is a hell of a tough job I salute you for doing it.

How long do you take ice baths for if you don't mind me asking? Thanks.

I have raynauds too. This is interesting

I agree wholeheartedly! The showers if expanded in time, seem to help as well. Good luck and keep trying.

Any updates if it helps raynauds

@@tylermoth9837 it does help to warm up the hands...also added ashwagandha, selenium and b vitamins this past winter. It did help with the severity of reynauds attacks.

@@hollyphelps5755 when do you do it exactly

@@GVH1305 i started maybe three weeks ago and since last week i went back to starting warm and finish cold. starting cold showers with cold water it's more challenging but i think ice bath is easier

You don't have to focus. It is a mechanical process and happens whether you want it to or not. It's not a magical affirmation manifesting woo woo metaphysical goulash thing. All you have to do is not take your hands out until it stops hurting.

@@finstereric1695 its all about breathing

Did you do the breathing before putting your hands in ice water or during? Also, did you do the whole 30 breaths, hold on the exhale as long as you can, inhale and hold for 15? Or just deep breathing? Thanks.

Sweat

Cold showers

Make up

Also Ice

Precum

SAME. It hurts SO bad I could barely make 30 seconds.

@@hjbaby7653 It hurts for us all but you have to let go and endure. If you can make it over 60 seconds it does get easier. I meditate prior upon doing it which makes the process a bit more bearable. Following your breath and submitting to what you're doing.

Wow amazing

Holy grail. How to start? I ice my arms regularly because of occupational overuse and stress and it’s so painful every time ..I do it for about 10mins entire arms Ice water bucket. would love to do whole body but how would you even start ?

@@youtube6817 Fill a chest freezer with ice and cold water. For safety, turn off the electric to it before you enter though 😉

Do you take ice bath daily? Does it not affect your body?

@@user-td3sl7wj9v i use to. I dont have my freezer set up right now for it but it makes you feel so good. My body kinda got use to it and was able to withstand the cold outside better

I usually soak in a hot bath but with advanced arthritis I find more relief in alternating temperatures because the heat soothes but cold reduces swelling. Lately I'm cold all the time, even taking levothyroxine. Thyroid level was so low that honest, I was hospitalized in both Fort Worth and Anaheim, CA for bradycardia. Anyone have hints to increase my metabolism at age 72. Just started cycling again.

So what does it help with?

@@saahirahmed3323 swelling, pain

I do it over and over until I my hands can stay in the water easily. It hurts every time until the very last ones where the pain is gone.

yeah, hands almost always hurt more...yet those feet can get pretty close after a good amount of time...feels like your bones get all brittle and you gotta walk like an elderly person for a few mins for sure...

I just tried for first time couldn't do the hands

Is it not bad to stay your hand in a cold water for a long period of time?

Who made hands? Who made the cold? Who made how they affect and interact with each other? The Lord did. Wim Hof did not create cold exposure. So, if someone benefits from it I see no reason not to use it.

See your bones appear in dark red snow drop futher below

I lived in qld and alot of fat ppl amd down in vic much less

Try Moringa it’s helps a lot

🤣lol

Makes sense. That's great to hear!

holy moly

Oh my gosh YES it's sooO effective 😄

thats not how arthritis works, like you can get arthritis for example if you punch walls with your knuckles so much that all the small bones get so thick they cant move properly and that causes like constant inflamation in the joints, arthritis is inflamation in the joints, any joint..cold water doesnt cause inflamation, it supresses it, and sometimes inflamation is good bcuz its a way for the body to try to help the effected area so sometimes suppressing inflamation can slow down healing but if you for example condition your knuckles to much and get arthritist bcuz of all the extra bone facking up your hand then your not getting totally rid of that arthritis, its gonna flair up alot. Fighters condition their bodies and just bcuz you need to be more careful with the hand doesnt mean all conditioning gives arthritis, you can condition your shins without such things happening, thats just a big as bone without all them small bones with all those joints with fine motor skills. You can get arhritis indnthe wrist by keeping it bend forwatd all the time like sleeping on it bend or playing with a computer mouse all day everyday. Using the fingers too much like in climbing and not giving enough rest to the fingers and ligaments. Cracking knuckles doesnt seem to do anything to hurt you either in a normal person, its just gas bubbles between the bones that pop when pulled and then they refill again snd that doesnt cause arthritis. Using your thumb too much when swiping on phone can cause arthritis in the thumb (inflamation) it is advised to flick with another finger and more of a motion with the wrist instead off repetative short motion that doesnt even complete its full motion and therefor cause a lot of friction. People use there hands to much inwards and doesnt train the hand to open and extend backwards enough. Also to get stronger and fmore flexable wrist bending them backwards and forwards helps, also training forearms, wrist curls..Safe knuckle conditioning can be done doing knuckle push ups. Did this anwser what you asked? But if a person has extreme arthritis the i think those people hurt for from cold in general.

@@AckSnus Thanks so much for the comprehensive info. ❤

I’m sorry, but I can’t legally answer medical questions and offer medical advice online. I have created thousands of articles and videos that discuss almost any musculoskeletal injury that should help you.

I would consider if any sport is worth wrecking one if the most valuable tools God gives us. But I'm a professional violinist and protect my hands with gloves 24/7. You might live longer if you took up another exciting sport! Hiking in the Sierra Club we were sober every time we passed a place where a rock climber lost his/her life. You've proven you can do some very difficult thing, why not go hand gliding for a while? I did and it was soooo fun! Or try to accomplish one thing in each sport! Well done!!💯

Due to shock and stress. But overtime it will gone. Take small steps.

I'm the opposite. I immediately stop sweating.

arthrit?

Idk why but when I was little a friend of mine could hold a snowball until it melted. So I would try to hold a snowball everyday as long as I can and I eventually didn’t feel any pain anymore and I could hold it very long.

Same here couldn't do the hands but could do the feet

@@debbietaylor20 ooh feet be a bit cold I think

If I can't do the hands I've no chance of doing an ice bath 😒

Sure, and once they are frozen apart, you can let them inside the water and go shopping :D

Im going to thelake with some freinds going to go into to ankles its freezing here its winter time here lol 😆 I love my cold showers

I only tried it once and my hand started to get really warm a couple of minutes after I pulled it out of the water. I only stayed in for two Minutes and the temp was about 9 degrees Celsius. I would definitely try it if I were you.

It helps, after 6 weeks my hands and feet are no longer sensitive to the cold. I also have cold showers daily guess this helps

@@Evaselfmade thanks! Should try it out a little bit more than I've done.. I took cold showers for one month two years ago (only cold water, not even starting with a little bit warm water). Here in Norway, the tap water is very cold. Atm I can't do it, I always chicken out when I try it

@@tolfred am currently in London and the tap water is freezing cold due to winter season. Look you can do cold showers its mind over matter 🙂 Also, deep slow diagram breathing helps to stop the body from reacting to the cold water. All the best

No

Better to see a specialist than having any injuries bro

Dude same my knees pop or crack when I stand up or something

you could look up kneesovertoesguy, but just cracking isnt enough to have knees beyond repair.

You might need an arthroscopic procedure.

Uses up sugar. New research said it could even starve cancer because it deprives them of sugars

Why don't you try it out? I do cold showers every day and this is way worse. A cold shower is not full immersion in 35 degree water like this is; your shower in winter doesn't come close to this cold; just get a cup of your cold water and check it with a thermometer. Mine is about 40 degrees. Plus, a shower is not getting all over you at once, and the water heats up as it slides over you, so very different dynamic. I find it very painful but when you are done, a few minutes later your hands feel fine!

I don’t know, but it sure is!

Yes definitely, I can't do 2 mins with my hands it hurts so bad but could do the feet.

Someone told me you can get it with hot water actually

It only benefits the hands obviously because the hands are the only thing getting cold

You only need to do 2 minutes to get the physical benefits. Anymore is more just for the mind than anything else.

Another video from a guy did the class with wim hof said 8 minutes max

@@GVH1305 okey thanks

It should be good.

but its not dangerous, that time is nothing BUT you may have done too much too soon right? everything is like that, if you try doing alot of pushups now when your not used to it you strain yourself in all kinds of ways and may get a stabbing pain in the chest muuscles or near the ribs for example and then be extremely sore the day after aswell. Holding your breath for as long as possible too long and too often the same day makes your body really stressed and gives anxiety symptoms and your throat gets a little swollen cuz it had to work and strain not to take a breath. Lifting too much weight under 7 days can tax your nerve system too much and your body gets all wrecked and you get sick. So starting slow and progressing in a steady pace is the best aproach in everything. A little bit of pain and adrenaline is good for your health, it starts up your immune system, but when you have had your immune system started for the day then you dont need to continue to start it up beqause we need to get some rest from the stress aswell, but no stress at all makes us more likely to get sick. So if hands in ice hurts the same night then maybe 30 seconds would be enough for like a week, its like if i have too tight shoes then the same night i can get stabbing pain in the toes just beqause of the shoes like 12 hours before.

That's not how arthritis works

(Summers are awful. Four or five months when I practically lie in bed, panting, day in and day out, and as soon as I move the temperature spike, and if I don't slow down there is a good chance I'll faint or more often get very close to it. I've learned over the years at what point I should just give up, and find the coldest spot within five steps, and lie down. I usually don't faint at that point. But what do you think? Thyroid? I know somethings up with it. Not cancer btw. I had a good day when I learned that! But why the hell am I this way? You shouldn't walk around in shorts, in sweden, in december (doesn't happen often, but I don't wear "long pants" at all until pretty much november)!!! Help wanted!

You seem to have more of the fire element in your body. Consult a good Ayurvedic doctor and find out about your body type and customize your diet accordingly. You'd need to eat things that cool you down naturally instead of stuff that produces more heat in your body.

Lol why

Try and submerge your junk in ice water, might help. Shrinkage is normal.

maybe not, inflamation is actually good for ya at the start of an injury, that means that the body has started to try to fix it, but chronic inflamation is another thing so if you have a chronic problem then its best to just cancel any plans.
