Why Ice Baths & Sauna?
Ice baths stimulate our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, stress response, and recovery process, all of which contribute to a natural high and boost in mood and attitude.
Cold water immersion can provide long-lasting changes to your body's immune, lymphatic, circulatory and digestive systems that enhance the overall quality of your life.
When your internal temperature changes, sensors in your central nervous system (CNS) send messages to your hypothalamus. In response, it sends signals to various organs and systems in your body. ... This increases blood flow to your skin where it is cooler — away from your warm inner body.
The sauna benefits include detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation.
In basic terms — the ice baths stimulate our nervous system and helps move toxics in our body. After sitting in the ice, and getting into a sauna our body is working hard to regulate its core temperature. This helps aid in releasing the toxins through our sweat. Which basically makes you feel like a brand new person afterwards.
This training is not only great for your nervous system but our mental health. The discomfort is challenging which makes us have to focus on our breath. Breathing helps us regulate our heart rate and gets us out of the fight or flight mindset. These practices can then be applied in our day to day lives as we face anxiety, stress, or any sort of discomfort that our body is alarming us we are in danger.
