While cold plunge has taken off as the latest trend in the wellness and celebrity-fitness industry here in the US, ice baths have been a tradition in parts of the world for centuries—along with practice of sauna. Having already cornered the market for the former, California-based Plunge has released a new, standalone Plunge Sauna Kit for home use. When paired with the premium Plunge All-In tub, the tech-driven brand offers a vision of a dream wellness routine.
Together, the sauna and ice bath complete what the company describes as "contrast therapy." A quick dip in cold water followed by heat immersion in the sauna is reportedly proven to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation among other health benefits. The Plunge Sauna, which we recently had the opportunity to test here in NYC, is designed to elevate a wellness experience, both as a place to relax and for the more hardcore among us, an additional place to work out.
