Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is a process where a room is cooled and the patient stays in the chamber for a few minutes up to 15 or even 20 minutes depending on the needs and temperature levels. Some say the experience feels similar to being in a hot sauna which includes the euphoria and others have mentioned that patients report that the experience is invigorating and improves a variety of conditions such as psychological stress, insomnia, rheumatism, muscle and joint pain, fibromyalgia, itching, and psoriasis.
Ice Saunas For Head Aches
It is also mentioned that, “(a) combination of pressure and cold temperatures can successfully mitigate headache-related pain and also decrease the duration of a headache. I have found that WBC does help with stress, insomnia, as well as headache reduction. It also seems to be a pleasant and comfortable way to cool your body down after an extended period in a hot sauna. There are many local spas that offer the “Ice Sauna” and since the temperature is very cold in a cryogtenic chamber it may be helpful to test your body’s adaptation to the ice sauna (around 40 °C) prior to a -120 °C chamber that may be monitored by a medical professional. The “Ice Sauna” also seems to help revive your alertness and provides a delightful distraction even when used in contrast with a hot sauna.
Ice Sauna Following A Fitness Program
Some enjoy the ice sauna or cold therapy just after a physical workout. The cold may* prompt your body to recover quickly after a fitness program. Also anyone suffering from heat illness may use the ice bath or ice saunas as a form of medial treatment in conjunction with or separate from a air conditioned room. Heat illness is caused by environmental heat exposure where by some mention soreness, aches, confusion, and lack of sweating.
Ice Saunas For Physiological Stress
The Ice Sauna can also be used to help with physiological stress which may have been caused by a “Parental Child Abduction,” a divorce, or the death or a family member or someone close to you. This chamber will help relieve some of the stress caused from these environmental events. Of course the Ice Sauna will not fix the “real world” problem so be sure to use the sauna to help focus your energy on problem solving which will in tern improve your emotional health.
Ice Sauna Or Ice Room?
Another way that some describe the ice sauna is an “ice room” which seems to be essentially the same thing. In some cases ice racks are hanging on the walls, there is normally a place to sit, and a recommendation to stay in no longer than around 20 minutes. I have found that just a few minutes provides a pleasant effect that “invigorates” your body and provides a distraction that leads to mental alertness.
Locating Ice Saunas
There are many ice saunas, chambers, and rooms in most metro areas of the United States. Some of the Ice Saunas have been created by Korean immigrants which provide a moderately authentic experience in a enjoyable sauna culture. A quick Google Maps search for “Ice Sauna” in your area will provide a few options near metro areas.
