What is Thermotherapy?

A Three-Step Relaxation Ritual

So, what is thermotherapy, you ask? It's a treatment rooted in a 2000-year-old Nordic tradition that involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures, followed by a rest period. It's a multi-step process designed to promote relaxation and well-being. At Nordik Spa-Nature, they've perfected this ritual for your benefit.

Step 1: Heat

The first step of the thermal cycle involves exposing your body to intense heat for 5 to 15 minutes. When you enter the sauna, you'll feel the warmth enveloping you. Don't be surprised if it catches you off guard! Close your eyes, relax, and let the heat work its magic. You'll start to sweat as your body eliminates toxins and dilates your pores. This is all part of the process to promote your well-being and relaxation. Make sure to hydrate before and after, and try to stay in for at least 8-10 minutes for the best results.

Step 2: Cold

After the heat, it's time to cool down! This step is essential for the thermal cycle to work its wonders. You'll experience a thermal shock, which will close your skin pores and release adrenaline. There are various ways to complete this step, such as briefly submerging yourself in cold pools, standing under an icy waterfall, or taking a cold shower. It may sound challenging, but it's a vital part of the experience that you'll come to appreciate. Trust us, the feeling of well-being that follows is absolutely worth it.

Step 3: Rest

After the hot-cold rollercoaster, it's time to relax. Find a cozy spot in one of the numerous relaxation areas for a minimum of 20 minutes. This period helps your body return to a normal temperature and heart rate, restoring your respiratory and circulatory balance. Plus, it's when those wonderful endorphins (the happiness hormones) start flowing. You'll experience a profound sense of calm and relaxation that's truly transformative.
