BENEFITS OF SAUNA & COLD PLUNGE
Hot and cold exposure contrast therapy is deeply rooted in centuries-old practices of cleansing, relaxation, and connection. The healing power of hot and cold therapy stimulates the body's physiological response mechanisms to support physical and mental wellbeing, protect against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, and promote longevity.
Regular practice of extreme heat & cold exposure has a multitude of health benefits, including:
- Reduce inflammation and muscle soreness
- Boost energy and focus
- Increase resilience to stress
- Elevate mood
- Improve sleep quality
- Boost longevity
- Improve cardio
- Increase endurance
- Minimize risk of neurological disease
HAND-CRAFTED SAUNA
THE HOT
Exposure to high temperature stresses the body, triggering a rapid, robust response that affects primarily the skin and cardiovascular systems. This exposure elicits mild hyperthermia, inducing a thermoregulatory response involving neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, and cytoprotective mechanisms that work in a synergistic fashion in an attempt to maintain homeostasis.
Repeated sauna use acclimates the body to heat and optimizes the body's response to future exposures. Research has emerged in recent decades to show regular sauna bathing as a contributor to extending healthspan.
BLUECUBE COLD PLUNGE
THE COLD
Cold shock triggers dopamine and norepinephrine release by 200-500%, and induces vasoconstriction to reduce inflammation, enhance mental clarity, and boost your metabolism.
Our BlueCube cold plunge is masterfully hand-crafted in Oregon with black walnut, 305 stainless steel, powered by a 1.5 HP chilling motor and .75 HP River mode motor that circulates water at 25 gallons per minute to maximize water flow and the effectiveness of your plunge.
Advanced filtration and sanitation fully cycles water through more than three times per hour, ensuring the freshest, most pristine recovery experience.
