Welcome the cold winter days and nights with warming items to create Hygge in your home. Hygge is a Danish term meaning to create coziness in life through spending quality time with loved ones while sipping on warm drinks by a fire under a giant blanket. Hygge can also be used to create a moment of self care away from others to recharge the mind and body. It’s more of an essence and a feeling that when created regularly becomes a lifestyle.

“The Wim Hof Method is a combination of breathing exercises, exposure to cold and commitment that can help you regulate your stress levels.”
— Wim Hof

Wim Hof Method

Deep breathing resets stress hormones in the body. It’s best for the body to be more alkaline than acidic. Through deep breathing, the pH-value in the blood increases making the blood more alkaline and less acidic. The average pH-value is 7.4. This can be measured at home with pH strips.

To reset the nervous system and activate the immune system, take 30 deep breaths slowly and in a safe, comfortable place. Lightheadedness may occur so continue even slower and the sensations will pass.

Cold showers create a deeper connection to human nature and creates neurological pathways when mastered can heal the body.

Areas that are improved with the Wim Hof Method are; brain function, metabolism, inflammation and pain.
