Contrast therapy has been used for centuries to reduce pain, eliminate inflammation, and rejuvenate your entire system. By alternating between an infrared sauna and a cold plunge pool, you can reap the benefits of this powerful combination. Read on to learn more about how hot-cold contrast therapy can improve your wellbeing.

How Hot-Cold Contrast Therapy Works
Infrared saunas use far-infrared light to heat the body from within. During a session, infrared heat raises core body temperature and increases blood flow. This helps to create sweat that pushes out toxins and delivers oxygen and nutrients to muscles in need of healing. The brain also gets a rush of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. A cold plunge pool then works its magic by bringing the blood back to vital organs, contracting pores to regular sizes, and reinforcing your body's natural defense system. The combination of hot and cold temperatures strengthens your immune system by training it to endure more exertion and recover faster.

The Benefits of Hot-Cold Contrast Therapy
Hot-cold contrast therapy is particularly beneficial for recovery after exercise or physical exertion. Alternating between hot and cold temperatures reduces lactic acid buildup in muscles, soothes pain, alleviates inflammation, boosts circulation throughout the body, relaxes tight muscles, reduces stress levels (thanks to those feel-good hormones!), flushes out toxins from fat cells—the list goes on! Many athletes swear by hot-cold contrast therapy as part of their post-workout routine because they experience improved performance as well as reduced fatigue after their sessions.
