Infrared saunas help stimulate sweat glands, promote sweating, and increase circulation which can help to flush out toxins from the body, supporting the body's natural detoxification process.
❊ Improved circulation:
Infrared saunas increase blood flow and dilate blood vessels, while cold tub therapy constricts blood vessels and then promotes vasodilation, leading to improved circulation. Better circulation can have various health benefits, including improved muscle recovery and reduced muscle soreness.
❊ Pain relief:
Infrared saunas penetrate deep into tissues and joints, helping to relieve muscle and joint pain. Cold tub therapy can help to reduce inflammation and numb pain receptors, providing relief from acute injuries, muscle soreness, and other painful conditions.
❊ Stress reduction:
Infrared saunas promote relaxation and can help to lower cortisol levels, which is the stress hormone. Cold tub therapy can also help to lower stress by triggering the release of endorphins, which are natural mood-enhancing hormones.
❊ Enhanced workout recovery:
Infrared saunas can help to relax muscles, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, which can promote faster recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage. Cold tub therapy, on the other hand, can reduce inflammation, relieve muscle soreness, and promote muscle recovery after intense workouts.
❊ Mood enhancement:
Infrared saunas can help to improve mood by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and increasing the release of feel-good endorphins. Cold tub therapy can also improve mood by triggering the release of endorphins and promoting a sense of invigoration and rejuvenation.
It's important to note that individual experiences may vary, and infrared sauna may not be suitable for everyone. It's always recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before trying any new therapy or treatment.
