The ritual of contrast therapy

A holistic practice for longevity

Much like the therapeutic powers of bathing, contrast therapy, also known as hot and cold therapy, is a holistic wellness practice using extreme temperature exposure to promote natural healing, nourishment and longevity, for both the brain and body.

Based on the traditional restorative rituals of the Nordics and ancient Greeks and Romans, cycling between steam and ice has long held both cultural and therapeutic significance.

 

Today, it's noted as a practice of self care, and experienced as alternating between a hot sauna and a cold plunge.

 

The duo boast a myriad of benefits for your mental and physical health. Cold therapy constricts blood vessels, while hot therapy increases blood flow. This symbiosis improves circulation, detoxification and lymphatic drainage, performance, muscle recovery, chronic pain, stress, mental resilience and mindfulness, sleep, immunity, inflammation and beyond. 

 

A low-impact therapy modality, it restores your equilibrium for total body and spirit tranquility. By activating your parasympathetic nervous system you can seek inner peace that reverberates throughout your physical body.
