Detox, Immune Health & Wellness FAQs: Natural Recovery for Body and Mind

Yes—infrared saunas promote deep sweating, which helps eliminate toxins through the skin. Research shows sweating removes heavy metals, BPA, and other environmental toxins, supporting liver function and whole-body detox. Consistent use amplifies this effect.

Absolutely. Infrared heat increases white blood cell activity and lymphatic flow, while cold plunges stimulate immune-boosting catecholamines and reduce chronic inflammation. Together, they train your body’s resilience and help fight off illness naturally.

Contrast therapy activates your nervous system in a way that balances stress hormones. Sauna promotes serotonin and endorphin release, while cold exposure increases norepinephrine—a neurotransmitter linked to alertness, focus, and improved mood. Many clients report feeling “reset” emotionally.

Yes. Regular sessions regulate the sympathetic nervous system, helping the body shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest. Clients often describe contrast therapy as their “off switch”—allowing for deeper relaxation, improved sleep, and recovery from chronic stress or burnout.

Cold plunges lower core body temperature and down-regulate cortisol production. This supports more restorative sleep, improves heart rate variability (HRV), and helps calm an overactive nervous system. Many users experience deeper, faster sleep after plunging.

Yes—and it's highly effective. Many clients integrate box breathing, Wim Hof, or guided mindfulness into their sessions. Breathwork enhances tolerance to cold, deepens parasympathetic activation, and turns the experience into a full mind-body reset.

While many people with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, RA, or fibromyalgia benefit from sauna and cold therapy, you should consult your provider. Start with short sessions and monitor your response. Clients with inflammatory conditions often report less flare-ups over time.

Hydration is key—drink electrolytes or magnesium post-session. Pair contrast therapy with:

​

• Red light therapy
   

• Omega-3s for inflammation
   

• Adaptogens (Ashwagandha, Rhodiola)
   

• Mobility or stretching
   

• Sauna → cold → meditation flow

Always replenish fluids and eat light, whole-food meals to support detox and recovery.
