Contrast therapy is the back-and-forth use of cold plunges and saunas, and it's one of the most powerful natural recovery tools around.

Here’s how it works:

  • Cold plunges constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation

  • Saunas dilate vessels, improve circulation, and flush toxins

  • The cycle improves muscle recovery, immunity, mood, and sleep

This therapy is used by pro athletes, fighters, and even late-night legends who need to bounce back after a big night.
