The Banjaran Hotspring Retreat - Ice Dipping Pot

Ice Dipping Pot at The Banjaran HotSpring Retreat Ipoh

Whilst staying at The Banjaran Hotspring Retreat in Ipoh, Malaysia, a wonderful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city as well as to relax, renew and recharge our batteries, we experienced the ice dipping pot after going to the steam cave.

At the ice dipping pot, the water is, yes, icy cold...  brrrrrrr......  All the more so after going in immediately after emerging from the steam cave which is filled with steam from the natural geothermal hotspring in the area.  






However, many brave the ice bath as it is reportedly a highly invigorating form of therapy experienced by plunging into the freezing water which is supposed to help increase the circulation throughout the body, reduce blood pressure as well as strengthen the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

Definitely a must try at the Banjaran HotSpring Retreat in Ipoh, Malaysia.  :-)
