Contrast Therapy (Sauna + Cold Water)

Contrast therapy is a simple practice with a powerful effect: you cycle between heat and cold to create a short, controlled “stress” on the body. That brief challenge encourages your system to recover, rebalance, and adapt... often leaving you feeling clearer, calmer, and more energised.

There are different ways to do contrast therapy, but the classic approach is dry sauna heat followed by cold water immersion. This hot-cold pairing is widely used because it’s practical, intense enough to create a response, and easy to repeat as a routine.

Why it works

When you move from hot to cold, and cold to hot, your body has to adjust. That process can:

Support circulation as blood vessels expand in heat and constrict in cold

Encourage the nervous system to become more flexible and resilient

Stimulate brown fat, a type of fat involved in heat production, which is linked with metabolic health and insulin sensitivity

Think of it like training for your biology: small doses of deliberate discomfort can help you become more robust... physically and mentally.

Benefits:
