Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly.

The heat in infrared saunas penetrates more deeply than warmed air. This allows you to experience a more intense sweat at a lower temperature.

This environment is more tolerable, which allows you to stay in the sauna longer while increasing your core body temperature, contributing to your overall health and well-being, helping you relax, loosening up stiff or tight muscles, reducing joint pain, and giving you some much needed time to yourself.

Cold therapy is the process of treating injuries by subjecting the body to cold temperatures. 

Putting a cold compress on a sprained ankle is a simple form of this therapy. The principle of this therapy is simple. When you cool the skin, it compels the body to exert more effort in maintaining its internal temperatures to continue functioning properly. It even increases the blood flow to the entire body.

An ice bath is one form of cold therapy. This is a process in which a person is required to dip their whole body or just a speecific part into a tub of water with ice-like temperature. This process reduces pain and hastens recovery from injuries.
