CONTRAST THERAPY
COMBINING INFRARED SAUNAS & COLD PLUNGES
Contrast therapy, also known as hot-cold therapy, is an invigorating practice that involves alternating between hot and cold treatments.
At Daily Dose, you can enhance your wellness routine by combining the soothing warmth of infrared saunas with the refreshing chill of cold plunges, creating a dynamic duo that amplifies health benefits.
HOW CONTRAST THERAPY WORKS
Contrast therapy leverages the body's natural responses to temperature changes. The heat from the infrared sauna induces vasodilation, relaxing muscles and promoting detoxification. Immediately following with a cold plunge causes vasoconstriction, which helps to flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and invigorate the body.
HEALTH BENEFITS
ENHANCED CIRCULATION
The alternating hot and cold treatments stimulate blood flow, improving circulation throughout the body. This can aid in quicker recovery from physical exertion and enhance cardiovascular health.
ACCELERATED MUSCLE RECOVERY
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often use contrast therapy to speed up muscle recovery. The combination of heat and cold helps reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing you to bounce back faster after intense workouts.
BOOSTED IMMUNE FUNCTION
Regular use of contrast therapy has been linked to improved immune function. The thermal stress encourages the production of white blood cells, strengthening the body's defense mechanisms.
IMPROVED MENTAL CLARITY AND MOOD
The invigorating effects of contrast therapy can enhance mental clarity and boost mood. The endorphin release from sauna use, combined with the refreshing shock of a cold plunge, can leave you feeling rejuvenated and uplifted.
SKIN HEALTH APPEARANCE
Contrast therapy contributes to healthier skin by promoting circulation and detoxification. The process can enhance skin tone and texture, leaving you with a natural glow Penetration Depth: Far infrared wavelengths penetrate deepest into the body, reaching the core tissues and organs.
