My friend told me I could change my state with an ice bath. After listening to his words, I bought a folding inflatable ice bathtub, I was really shocked, because I subverted the impression of the traditional bathtub, the folding inflatable ice bathtub installation is very simple, storage space is very small. Then, under the guidance of my friend, I slowly soaked my body in ice water, slowly added ice after my body got used to it, and also added aromatherapy essential oil to myself. My body gradually changed from nervous to very relaxed.
