How contrast hydrotherapy works for healing

The recuperative and healing properties of hydro-thermal therapy are based on the mechanical and/or thermal effects that work by exploiting the body’s reaction to the hot and cold stimuli. This happens when the nerves carry impulses from the skin deep into the tissues of the body where they are instrumental in stimulating the immune system as well as invigorating the circulation and digestive systems, all of which encourages blood flow. It is this increase in blood flow that will carry the oxygen throughout the body.

Hot and cold shower therapy is performed by taking a shower that starts with very hot water for a couple of minutes and then switching to very cold water for one minute. Then back to hot for a few minutes and back to cold for one minute. Repeat the hot and cold action for at least three to five cycles, finally ending at a neutral temperature. The hot water circulates the red blood cells up toward the surface of your skin, then the cold water draws the red blood cells back down deep into the organs. The action of going back and forth is what gets that blood circulation moving. This therapy will also increases the circulation of the lymphatic fluids as well. Your lymph nodes work as the cleanup crew of the body, and when they get overloaded, they will form blockages and may become swollen. Taking a shower that alternates between very hot and very cold water can work to stimulate this system and improve the elimination of waste. One might also want to consider using a Shower Filter to reduce your exposure to chlorine compounds and other contaminants via skin contact or through inhalation
