Combine Cold plunge and sauna with Hot and Cold Therapy
Hot and cold therapy is gaining popularity for its impressive health benefits. Combining the heat of a sauna with a refreshing cold plunge can bring remarkable results for your body and mind, all from the comfort of your garden!
When you enjoy a sauna session, your body’s core temperature rises, which promotes circulation, relieves muscle tension, and releases endorphins. A Finnish study published in JAMA Internal Medicine (2015) found that regular sauna use was linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and an overall decrease in mortality, thanks to improved circulation and heart health.
Hot and Cold Therapy backed up by scientific research
The cold plunge following a sauna provides a revitalising contrast. Exposure to cold triggers a “fight-or-flight” response in the body, which helps reduce inflammation, boost energy levels, and improve mental clarity. Research in PLoS One (2014) revealed that cold water immersion helps decrease muscle soreness and inflammation, making it an excellent addition for recovery after intense physical activities.
Alternating between heat and cold also promotes lymphatic drainage and strengthens the immune system. In fact, a study in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2014) showed that cold exposure boosts the immune response by increasing white blood cell production, which supports the body’s defence against illness.
