The dry heat of the sauna induces sweating, which helps detoxify the body, improves circulation, and relaxes muscles. It’s all about raising your core temperature to initiate healing.
This back-and-forth action promotes the movement of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to tissues, which aids in recovery, reduces inflammation, and speeds up the healing process. By improving circulation, contrast therapy can also help remove metabolic waste products, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance the overall function of the body's circulatory system.
Sweating in the sauna helps flush out toxins from the body through the skin, improving overall detoxification. Cold plunges help tighten pores and refresh the skin.
The sauna allows the body and mind to unwind, reducing stress and promoting mental clarity. It’s a time to breathe deeply and disconnect from daily pressures.
Both the sauna and cold plunge require you to be present, breathe deeply, and practice mindfulness. It’s a meditative experience that helps clear the mind and reduce mental clutter.
The cold plunge or ice bath causes vasoconstriction, which helps reduce inflammation, speed up recovery, and boost circulation. It’s invigorating and strengthens the immune system.
The combination of hot and cold creates a cycle of vasodilation (heat) and vasoconstriction (cold), which boosts circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and speeds up recovery.
