@sarajaneho: Cold plunges might be hot right now, but in Traditional Chinese Medicine they’re a hard no—especially for women. In TCM, cold invades the body and weakens the kidneys and womb, disrupting circulation, hormones, and digestion. Women are “yin” by nature—warm, fluid, and inward—so plunging into ice water throws that balance way off. Regular cold exposure can lead to issues like fatigue, menstrual pain, fertility problems, and poor digestion. That’s why I would never advise my future daughter to join swim team in the winter… Episode 14 of Mind Your Manners podcast just dropped! “What TCM Says About Phlegm, Periods & Prosperity: Sara Jane Answers It All” - wherever you get your podcasts or watch it on YouTube 💋

A lot of western athletic trainers and therapists say 5 minutes in cold tubs, but my acupuncturist told me that you don’t need to do cold plunges for longer than 90 seconds. Because warm water stimulates blood flow and recovery, i started applying heat pads to certain injuries. I found I recovered a lot quicker

I understand all that but I am confused as to how it can make my periods irregular, but when I’m late and I get in cold water it triggers my period to show up

Yess! The moment I saw this trend years back start becoming popular ..I instantly thought of my Chinese medicine lady (that’s her business name..Lydia. 💗🥰) she literally never wanted me to be cold. Etc

Believe it or not we have what they call human polar bears that literally go to the lake and jump in on New Year's day Don't see how they can do it but they do That could really be a shock to ones body if they did that for the first time but they train for this by sitting in tubs filled with ice cubes
