What exactly is the Wim Hof Method?
The Wim Hof Method combines deep breathing, gradual cold exposure and mindfulness practice to help regulate your mood and reset your physiology to its optimum state.
Developed by Dutchman Wim Hof, the method originated as a way for him to cope with the trauma of losing his wife, who died by suicide after they had four children together. He discovered that by submerging himself in ice-cold water—after preparing with specific breathing techniques—he could find peace and begin to heal from his emotional wounds.
At the time, he didn’t fully understand why this practice had such a profound effect on his physical and mental well-being. However, over the past few decades, he has participated in numerous scientific studies to demonstrate the method’s power and gain deeper insight into its effects on the mind and body.
What are the health benefits of the Wim Hof Method?
The growing list of health benefits includes:
