Contrast baths

Contrast baths is a type of water treatment also known as hot/cold immersion therapy. It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in ice water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in warm water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold.
Hot water helps to expand blood vessels and to improve the blood circulation. Cold water can have as stimulating, as calming effects. Initially, the skin temperature drops due to constriction of surface blood vessels that helps to intensify the blood flow to vessels that are located more deeply. As cold water is no longer in contact with the skin, blood vessels expand again and the blood flow rushes back.
Alternating impact of hot and cold water stimulates the blood circulation. Alternate contraction and expansion of blood vessels increase the speed of blood circulation in so-called «problem areas» of the body.
