Benefits of Combining Sauna Sessions with Cold Dips
❄️SPACES THIS WEDNESDAY 26th NOV❄️
There are a number of health benefits to be enjoyed - The combination of the cold water and warm sauna might sound intimidating at first, but this is something we partake in all year round.
What’s not to love about giving yourself a mental well being boost, reducing aches and pains, or boosting your immune system in these colder months!
Alternating between hot and cold temperatures (the "Nordic cycle") is known as contrast therapy. This practice maximizes the individual benefits of each method:
Enhanced Blood Circulation:
The rapid constriction in the cold and dilation in the heat creates a "vascular pump" effect, which improves overall blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients more efficiently to tissues.
Faster Recovery: The combination is particularly effective for muscle recovery, with some studies finding it reduces muscle soreness more effectively than heat or cold alone.
Synergistic Mental Health Effects: The combined experience of an adrenaline rush from the cold and the deep relaxation from the heat provides a significant mood boost and helps build mental resilience.
