I don't do plunges but do cold showers. They are not the same but cold showers do have one anecdotal benefit for me, I don't feel cold post the cold shower. My immunity had been pretty good but am not sure if I can attribute that to cold showers. I moved to the bay area in August after nearly a 14 year stint in India. This winter the flu virus got me. I was able to fight it off without a lot of meds, I got sick after nearly 4 years. So am not sure if my body has good immunity anymore. Overall, I have come to liking cold showers simply because of the post shower feeling. A hot shower is great while in the shower, not so great afterwards. A cold shower is miserable the first 30 seconds, a pretty good feeling afterwards.
