Cryotherapy, an age-old method with a 21st-century twist

Cryotherapy is nothing new. The principle behind it has been around for centuries: exposing the body to extreme cold. Studies and research show that cold strengthens our immune system. You will find the same idea in a sauna: in the plunge pool. Cryotherapy works in the same way, but in a modern, efficient way. After 3 minutes, you will step out of the cabin feeling like a different person: more vital, stronger and happier.

How does it work?

Cryotherapy is a way to naturally stimulate the body's own healing capabilities. The human body has remarkable intelligence and strength. It is capable of resolving many issues without external help. However, the immune system needs the right stimulus to initiate certain processes. The stimulus of –110 degrees Celsius puts the body on high alert. The body's intelligence interprets this stimulus as a life-threatening situation. The cold receptors in the skin send signals to the brain that the body is at risk of dying. As a result, the blood withdraws towards the torso to keep the vital organs warm for as long as possible. The temperature of the blood also rises, meaning viruses and bacteria in the blood cannot survive. The body produces natural painkillers as well as all kinds of other substances to strengthen the body. During the WBC treatment, you will spend up to 3 minutes in a chamber where it is -110 degrees Celsius . The dry cold gives the body an intense stimulus.
