Why is August the very best time to start ice and winter bathing?

August is an optimal time to start with ice and winter bathing for several reasons:

Gradual temperature drop: In August, the temperature begins to gradually decrease, and the water becomes cooler. This allows you to acclimate your body to the lower temperatures over time, making the transition to ice and winter bathing more comfortable.

Preparation for winter: Starting in August gives you sufficient time to build your tolerance to cold water before winter, when temperatures can be even lower. This can make winter bathing more comfortable and rewarding.

The benefits of cold water: Beginning in August allows you to enjoy the benefits of cold water, such as increased circulation, improved immunity, relief from muscle aches, and overall invigoration while the weather is still relatively mild.

Establishing a routine: By starting in August, you have time to establish a consistent routine of ice and winter bathing, which can contribute to building lasting health benefits and well-being over time.

Overall, August is an ideal month to start with ice and winter bathing, as it allows you to gradually prepare your body, enjoy the healing benefits, and establish a healthy routine before winter arrives.
