Health is Key - Feel Better Today

You may have heard Wim Hof touting the benefits of cold plunge therapy on podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience before, but what about contrast therapy? Whether you're an athlete or simply want to optimize your health, just about anyone can benefit from contrast therapy.

You may wonder what combination of hot and cold equipment is best for getting contrast therapy with water. Although many folks get their contrast therapy from a sauna and ice bath combo, it's possible to reap the same health rewards using a infrared sauna as well.

So what are the added health benefits that you might enjoy from taking your cold plunging to the next level by adding heat from infrared sauna? Let's dive into six of the physical and mental health benefits here.

When you're looking for therapeutic ways to improve your health and wellness beyond nutrition, cold water therapy is a solid option. However, starting with a infrared sauna can amplify the benefits of taking ice baths.

It can even add to the already amazing effects of immersion in cold water. Here are six ways contrast hydrotherapy can benefit your health. 

Hard workouts lead to a lactic acid build-up in muscles. This can cause intense pain and soreness that inhibits performance and recovery. Reducing lactic acid pain demands plenty of rest, drinking water, and supplementing your magnesium intake.

Research has found that contrast therapy is one of the best ways to prevent the accumulation of excess lactic acid in muscles.

Beyond blocking the buildup of lactic acid, one study in 2017 discovered alternating from hot to cold exposure led to team sports players recovering from fatigue in only 24 hours to 48 hours after competitions.

The study also found that cold therapy alone didn’t get the same results, suggesting that alternating between hot and cold plunging is the most effective recovery method.

For those suffering from painful joint inflammation, spending time in a hot plunge tub before plunging into an ice bath can help bring down inflammation levels, lowering pain levels in turn.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), is a common affliction of people who work out or play sports. Days after the exercise, debilitating pain can make it hard to even walk. This can diminish athletic performance along with increasing the risk of injuring yourself.

Thankfully, studies have found that relief is possible through hot and cold plunge contrast therapy when a regular routine is put in place.

Going straight from a hot plunge to an ice bath triggers the body’s lymphatic system to kick into high gear. This system in the body helps flush away toxins all over, helping support the regeneration of cells and carrying away harmful byproducts of hard workouts throughout the body.

When you switch from hot to cold, it releases endorphins that deliver clean, calm energy and an overall sense of well-being. Research has even found that symptoms of depression can be curbed through a consistent routine of contrast therapy.
