Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures around 70°c compared to traditional saunas that reach up to 90°c , but will still induce sweating and promote detoxification. The difference in sauna is down to personal preference. The radiant heat from the infrared sauna penetrates deeply into the skin, promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and providing therapeutic benefits for muscles and joints.

Hot/cold therapy using an infrared sauna and ice bath combines the benefits of heat and cold exposure to promote overall well-being, muscle recovery, and relaxation. Here's how each component works:

Infrared sauna (heat):

In an infrared sauna, heat is generated using infrared light to directly warm the body without significantly heating the surrounding air.

Ice bath (cold):

An ice bath involves immersing the body in cold water typically maintained at temperatures between 5°c to 15°c. Our co d plunge is set to 15°c and our ice bath is set to 5°c for all levels to enjoy. Ice baths induce vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to the extremities and internal organs. This can help reduce inflammation, numb pain, and promote muscle recovery after intense physical activity.

Cold exposure in ice baths can also stimulate the release of endorphins, leading to a sense of alertness and well-being.

Combining the infrared sauna and ice bath in hot/cold therapy offers a comprehensive approach to promoting recovery, relaxation, and overall health. The infrared sauna session can help prepare the body by increasing circulation, inducing sweating, and relaxing muscles. Following the sauna session with an ice bath can then help reduce inflammation, soothe soreness, and enhance the benefits of the heat exposure.

As with any form of hot/cold therapy, it's essential to listen to your body and adjust the duration and intensity of each component based on your individual tolerance and preferences. It's also advisable to stay hydrated and practice proper safety measures when using heat and cold therapies to prevent adverse effects. If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating hot/cold therapy into your routine.
