Device for infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) light therapy with cold water immersion

1) A cold plunge device with a infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) light therapy feature, comprising:

• a) a cold plunge housing with infrared and near-infrared light sources embedded in a light pad positioned along a sidewall;
• b) an ergonomically contoured, bowl-shaped reservoir integrated into the housing unit and configured to accommodate a user's face for water immersion with infrared and near-infrared light sources embedded in one or more light pads positioned at the base of the bowl;
• c) a chilling mechanism operatively connected to the reservoir, the chilling mechanism comprising evaporative cooling coils and a compressor or thermoelectric cooling system for maintaining water temperature at a user-defined level below 50° F.;
• d) a thermostat control system operably connected to the chilling mechanism, the thermostat system comprising a user interface with a digital display and programmable temperature settings for precise control of water temperature;
• e) a water circulation system, comprising:
• i) a pump configured to circulate water within the reservoir;
• ii) insulated conduits connecting the pump to the reservoir;
• and
• iii) a filtration assembly including a replaceable filter configured to remove impurities and maintain hygienic water conditions.
• f) a retractable breathing apparatus mounted to the housing unit, the breathing apparatus comprising:
• i) a snorkel-like breathing tube constructed from medical-grade silicone;
• ii) a two-way check valve for regulating airflow and preventing water ingress;
• and
• iii) an adjustable positioning mechanism for aligning the breathing tube with a user's facial orientation during water immersion;
• and
• g) a power source operatively connected to the chilling mechanism, pump, and thermostat control system, the power source configured to enable continuous operation.
