Histamine Intolerance and Ice Baths

Just chillin! A lot of interesting recent responses about histamine intolerance and ice baths and cold exposure when I posted this on my Instagram.

A lot of us with histamine intolerance can’t handle the cold (I am certainly sensitive). Others love a cold plunge and find it helps their symptoms.

The sort of people who follow my Instagram are definitely interested in all sorts of health and wellness hacks and this is a good one. But is it right for histamine intolerance?

Here’s what I do: I only do it when my histamine bucket is low and I’m in a good place as it does stress the body. I don’t do it every day (though I’d love to be able to handle it every day, I just can’t).

One thing’s for certain, you should definitely run it past your practitioner first.

Ice baths have got so popular and there’s a real health and resilience piece that is compelling. But we have to respect our histamine issues and where we are at, too.
