When your body is exposed to extreme temperature, the cold receptors on your skin send a message to your brain and central nervous system that your core temperature could be in danger of dropping. This forces the blood away from peripheral tissues, joints and muscle towards your core and internal organs.
During the 2-3 minute session, your blood short loops through your natural filtration system (heart, kidney and liver) and removes toxins and inflammatory properties of the blood. Once the session is complete, filtered blood flows back to the peripheral tissues with oxygen, nutrients and enzymes that improves circulation. Over the next 48 hours, the body returns to homeostasis by reducing pain and inflammation and increasing energy levels. Just as important, the cold stimulates your body’s central nervous system, enhances immune function and improves regulatory systems in the body. Recovery times from strenuous workouts and injury are reduced.
