Here's the cheapest and fastest way to get cold therapy, because all I care about is saving you time when you read smarter, not harder, and getting you the result. You take a salad bowl as big as your face, you put an inch of water in it, and you put it in the freezer overnight. Next time you want to do cold therapy, add some cold tap water to it and stir it around until the water's really, really cold. You take a deep breath and you bend forward at your waist and you stick your whole face, as much of your face as you can get into that bowl and you hold your breath. Now you have, this is called the dive reflex, but you have the most temperature receptors on your face. And by freezing your face, you're sending a whole body cold therapy signal. And you do that. You'll last maybe 10 seconds before your face hurts and you get a cold headache and then you can just go back. After three days of that, though, suddenly the cold headaches go away and you start feeling better and better. And then suddenly you can tolerate cold showers and they don't bother you anymore. So the face is the most important place to get the highest ROI on your cold exposure.
