Context
The condition.
Depression and anxiety. This page pairs a personal experience with the honest evidence grade on the matching condition or benefit page.
Practice
How they practice.
Breath in the morning, seated. Cold at the end of the shower, then ice. Commitment, daily. Nothing exotic — the method as taught.
Personal experience, not medical claimsWim Hof Method breathing, when done intensely for multiple rounds, can in rare cases lead to loss of consciousness. Always practice seated or lying down, in a neutral space such as a living room — never in water, in the shower, while driving, or operating machinery. Read the safety doctrine.
Begin.
Three breaths.
