A short Romanian instructional video (YouTube short) by Mihail Pautov explaining a quick, low-cost method to reduce stress and anxiety: dunk your face into cold water with ice for 5–10 seconds to trigger the mammalian dive reflex. The presenter describes how cold-water facial immersion activates the vagus nerve, causing bradycardia (slower heart rate), brief apnea (holding breath), and peripheral vasoconstriction which redirects blood to the heart and brain—producing a calming parasympathetic effect.
