YouTube short by Mihail Pautov (Romanian) that teaches a quick, low-cost method to reduce stress and acute anxiety: immerse the face in a bowl of cold/iced water for 5–10 seconds to trigger the mammalian dive reflex. The speaker explains the physiological effects (vagal/parasympathetic activation, slower heart rate/bradycardia, brief apnea, and increased peripheral vascular resistance redirecting blood to heart and brain) and recommends the maneuver as a way to reset a hyper-excited nervous system.
