Breathe in and out through your mouth as you bite down on the inside tabs of the snorkel and wrap your lips over the snorkel to prevent water from coming in.
When performing these breathing techniques, make sure your head is higher than your heart.

Facial ice baths using a snorkel are based on two scientific biohacking principles: the mammalian diving reflex and hormesis and one biohacking technique:
The mammalian diving reflex is a natural response that occurs when your face comes into contact with cold water. It triggers a series of physiological changes that help you conserve oxygen and protect your vital organs.
These changes include slowing down your heart rate, lowering your blood pressure, reducing your blood flow to your limbs, and increasing your blood flow to your brain.
Increasing your blood flow to your brain: This enhances your cognitive function and alertness, and also protects your brain from hypoxia (low oxygen) and ischemia (low blood flow).
Facial ice baths using a snorkel are a way to activate the mammalian diving reflex without having to dive underwater. By immersing your face in cold water while breathing through a snorkel, you can mimic the conditions of diving and trigger the same physiological changes that benefit your health and performance.
Hormesis is a phenomenon that occurs when a low dose of stress or damage stimulates your body’s adaptive mechanisms and makes you stronger and more resilient.
By exposing your face to cold water for short periods of time, you create a mild stress that activates your nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, and antioxidant system.
*The third and final biohacking technique is the the vagus nerve in your face, which is connected to nerves in the rest of your nervous system throughout your body.
The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve that originates in the brain stem and travels through the face, neck, lungs, heart, diaphragm, and abdomen, including the stomach, spleen, intestines, colon, liver, and kidneys.
The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. It runs from the brain through the face and thorax to the abdomen.
It extends through the jugular foramen, then passes into the carotid sheath between the internal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein down to the neck, chest, and abdomen, where it contributes to the innervation of the viscera, reaching all the way to the colon.
It is responsible for many functions such as controlling specific body functions like digestion, heart rate and immune system.
The nerve is a mixed nerve that contains parasympathetic fibers.
The recurrent laryngeal nerve branches from the vagus in the lower neck and upper thorax to innervate the muscles of the larynx (voice box).
The vagus also gives off cardiac, esophageal, and pulmonary branches. In the abdomen, the vagus innervates the greater part of the digestive tract and other abdominal viscera.
In this course, you will learn how to perform a facial ice bath with a snorkel, a simple and effective technique that can improve your skin, circulation and mood. You will also learn the benefits of cold thermogenesis, which is the process of exposing your body to cold temperatures to activate your metabolism and burn fat.
A facial ice bath with a snorkel involves submerging your face in a bowl of ice water for 20 to 30 seconds while breathing through a snorkel. This stimulates the vagus nerve, which controls many functions in your body, such as heart rate, digestion and inflammation. By doing this regularly, you can reduce stress, inflammation and aging signs, as well as improve your sleep quality, cognitive function and mood.
This course will teach you how to prepare for a facial ice bath with a snorkel, how to do it safely and effectively, and how to track your progress and results. You will also get access to a supportive community of fellow ice bathers who will motivate you and share their experiences.
Facial ice baths using a snorkel is a biohacking technique that involves submerging your face in ice water while breathing through a snorkel. This technique can activate the diving reflex, which lowers your heart rate and blood pressure, and increases your oxygen efficiency. It can also stimulate thermogenesis, which boosts your metabolism and burns calories. Additionally, it can induce hormesis, which enhances your cellular resilience and adaptation to stress.
