The place in Poland has been used by Premiership Rugby teams for a few years. Supposed to help muscle recovery, like ice baths after exercise.

I'm not sureabot the other health/wellbeing claims though.

Fasting has shown to have benefits. Because it sends the body into a 'crisis' mode. I can see where the logic might lean towards same benefits for cold.

I recall a programme a few years ago abut how people have 'died' in Scandinavia in extreme cold (due to extreme cold) and then been brought back to live, like a natural cryogenics type thing.
