Contrast therapy promotes faster recovery by reducing inflammation, relieving muscle soreness, and speeding up the removal of metabolic waste products from the muscles.

The combination of cold and heat leads to release of endorphins and dopamine that uplifts mood, reduces anxiety, improves sleep, and promotes a sense of overall well-being.

Alternating between hot and cold gives your vascular system a proper work out. This in turn boosts circulation, leading to better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles, organs, and tissues. Increased blood flow also flushes out toxins helping your muscles bounce back quicker than a rubber band!

The heat from the sauna relaxes your muscles and promotes the release of endorphins, creating a calming effect on your body. This relaxation is followed by a sudden cooling effect from the cold water, which helps lower your core body temperature—a natural signal to your brain that it’s time to sleep and produce melatonin, the sleep hormone.

The combination of sauna heat and ice-cold water immersion can work wonders for your skin. The intense heat from the sauna opens up your pores, promoting deep cleansing by flushing out toxins and impurities. Cold water reduces inflammation and pore size, promoting collagen production for enhanced skin elasticity. Cold showers and ice baths not only invigorate the skin but also aid in product absorption and soothe blemishes

When exposed to chilled water, the metabolic rate in the body increases significantly (by 350%) to generate heat and maintain the body's core temperature.

Sauna heat will similarly increase the metabolic rate in your body as it works to cool down. As your body temperature rises in the sauna, your body ramps up its metabolic processes to regulate and maintain a stable core temperature.
