Water therapy, or “hydrotherapy” has been used to heal all manner of health concerns for thousands of years. We recommend 5 minutes soak in the hot tub, contrasting with 1 minute soak in the cold, or cool, tub: repeat this cycle several times to receive optimal benefit from our self-healing studio. Our deep copper claw foot tub is luxurious and ideal for your cold plunge. This “contrast hydrotherapy” is helpful for anxiety, for sleep, for weight loss and detoxification, as well as for pain reduction. We have an infrared sauna and amethyst crystal biomat available to utilize during your hour of relaxation and self-healing in our soaking studio - both are great to alternate with a cool water plunge. Heat dilates the blood vessels, cold constricts. The lymphatic fluid follows the flow of blood. So, as we alternate between hot and cold, or warm and cool, water we improve the flow of blood and lymph to our organs of elimination, clearing out inflammation and toxins, improving metabolism and helping our nervous system by feeding it cleaner, nourishing blood. We provide towel, robe, swimsuit and slippers for a $5 rental fee, or bring your own towel and suit.
