Cold Plunging Alone:
Many of the benefits reported of Cold Plunging are like those listed above for the sauna and for a completely different reason. If you are pondering that right now just think of cold vs hot. The cold plunge puts the body into immediate activity so for something like…… immunity, being submerged in cold water can stimulate your body’s natural production of leukocytes, a type of white blood cell that fights infection and boot immunity. Cold water plunges also cause your lymphatic system to contract, which promotes the flow of fluid through lymph nodes. This helps your body detox, lowers inflammation and strengthens your immune system overall.
Cold Water Plunges are not for everyone. Those with heart disease need to talk to their health care provider before embarking on the cold plunge journey.

Here are the Top benefits of sauna and cold plunging contrast therapy:
Boosts Energy Levels
According to research the transition from a hot sauna to cold temperatures causes your heart rate to increase. This move also constricts your blood vessels and sends a sudden rush of adrenaline and endorphins racing through you. The results? An amazing feeling! Your mind is put into sudden focus and your body is activated in response.
Increases Circulation
Alternating between hot and cold temperatures can stimulate blood flow and improve circulation. The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, while the cold plunge causes them to constrict. This contrast can enhance overall circulation, potentially benefiting cardiovascular health.
Enhances Immune Function
Scientists have found that an elevated body temperature can help certain types of immune cells function better. In this way, sauna sessions could help to keep you from falling sick, especially during colder winter months. Your body enhances its generation and differentiation of a type of lymphocyte that can destroy virus-infected cells when you reach a mild fever-range hyperthermia. We’re not advocating that you ever get this hot in your sauna, as this can be dangerous. The research shows, however, that heat therapy can be beneficial.
Promotes Faster Muscle Repair
And what about speeding up your recovery? Cold plunges help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness by constricting blood vessels and decreasing metabolic activity, which may aid in muscle recovery after intense exercise. Saunas, on the other hand, can relax muscles and relieve tension.
Through her research, Rhonda Perciavalle Patrick, Ph.D, found that regular sauna sessions can reduce the buildup of lactic acid in your muscles. Sauna use also induces heat shock proteins and the production of human growth hormone while releasing many other hormones. Because of this reaction to extreme heat, some experts believe that regular sauna use can help you recover faster. They say the practice can lower your anxiety, sharpen your focus, and allow you to endure tougher workouts.
Burns “Brown” Fat for Weight Loss
Research done in 2021 at the University of Copenhagen showed the benefits of the combo might also have something to do with your brown fat. Brown fat, or brown adipose tissue (BAT), is a specialized type of fat in the body that generates heat by burning energy, which plays an important role in regulating body temperature. Scientists think that alternating between chilled water and a hot sauna affects how your brown fat burns energy and produces heat, which can affect how you keep and lose weight.
Improves Skin Health
The combination of heat and cold exposure can positively affect the skin. Saunas may help cleanse the skin by promoting sweating, while cold plunges can tighten pores and improve skin tone. The alternating temperatures can contribute to a healthy complexion.
Reduces Stress
Both saunas and cold plunges have been linked to stress reduction. Saunas promote relaxation by increasing the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Then, the shock of cold water in an ice bath can help trigger the release of stress-reducing hormones.
