Health Benefits of Infrared Sauna & Ice Bath

Infrared sauna

• Improves circulation through vasodilation and delivers more oxygen, minerals and vitamins to muscles and connective tissue (fascia, tendons, ligaments, and joints) while helping remove metabolic waste from these soft tissues. This improves recovery and soft tissue quality, both of which contributes to healing injuries, decreasing pain, and improving athletic performance.
• Improves muscle relaxation through increased body temperature, which contributes to decreasing muscular tension and chronic pain, while helping mobility and flexibility.
• Improves immune system through increased body temperature and the consequent rise of white blood cells, while also detoxifying the body.
• Improves skin quality through opening of the pores and expulsion of impurities through sweat.
• Improves metabolism through improved circulation, increased body temperature, and increased growth hormone production, promoting fat burning and muscle development.
• Improves mood, cognition, and sleep through relaxation and increased oxygenation of body and brain.

Ice Bath

• Improves immune system through increased white blood cells and platelet count.
• Improves fatty acid metabolism and activation of brown fat tissue, leading to thermogenesis and increased fat burning.
• Improves energy levels through enhanced mitochondrial function.
• Improves muscle soreness through vasoconstriction which reduces inflammation.
• Improves inflammation through decreased swelling.
• Improves skin through decreased inflammation.
• Improves comfort through analgesic desensitization of painful body areas.
• Improves muscle repair through increased protein synthesis.
• Improves elimination of free radicals oxidation through cold shock protein production.
• Improves mood and energy levels through the release of hormones such as endorphin, dopamine, and adrenaline.
• Improves mental health through the overcoming of physical discomfort.
• Improves focus and meditation through increased selfawareness and self-control.
• Improves breathing through self-regulation.
• Improves oxygenation of brain, heart, and other organs through vasospasm.
• Improves recovery and soft tissue quality through the flushing out of metabolic waste.
