Cold Plunge

Our space includes a dry sauna which is heated by an electric stove where water can be poured on top to create steam. It also has Infrared lights and a Himalayan Salt wall inside the sauna for triple the detoxing.

The combination of using a sauna and then immersing yourself in cold water, also known as contrast therapy, can have many health benefits, including: 

1. Improved circulation: The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, while the cold water constricts them, which can improve circulation. 
2. 
   
3. Reduced inflammation: Both saunas and cold plunges can help reduce inflammation. 
4. 
   
5. Boosted immune function: Both saunas and cold plunges can help boost your immune system. 
6. 
   
7. Improved mental clarity: The combination of sauna and cold plunge can help enhance mental clarity. 
8. 
   
9. Pain relief: The heat and cold treatment can increase blood flow, raise your heart rate, and boost endorphins, which can reduce pain. 
10. 
    
11. Better sleep: Saunas can help improve sleep. 
12. 
    
13. Increased fat-burning metabolism: Cold plunges can help increase your metabolic rate by converting white fat to brown fat, which burns itself. 
14. 
    
15. Reduced risk of heart attack: Cold plunges can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of fatty plaques blocking your blood vessels and heart attacks.

Most guests follow a rotation: start in the sauna for 10-15 minutes, rinse off in a warm shower, spend 30 seconds to 5 minutes in the cold tub, and then rest for a few minutes before repeating that process one or two more times.

The combination of sauna and cold plunge, also known as contrast therapy, has been shown to have numerous health benefits—including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced mental clarity.

When you get home from your sauna session it is great to take a warm shower to wash off the toxins that are now on the outside of your skin. Many find that a cool shower rinse after a warm shower invigorates them and their skin. So enjoy a good shower followed by a cool rinse. This will also close up the pores.

The frequency of cold plunging and sauna sessions depends on your lifestyle and routine, but here are some general guidelines: 

1. Cold plunging
2. You can cold plunge two to three times a week. Some say that 11 minutes of cold exposure per week is the minimum effective dose to achieve health benefits. Others recommend limiting cold plunging to once per day. You can start with three days per week for the first few weeks to see how your body feels. If cold plunging negatively impacts your energy or mood, you should cut back.
3. Sauna
4. You can sauna four to seven times per week for 20 minutes each time. The recommended temperature for a sauna is between 160°F and 200°F (71°C and 93°C).
