Saunas and ice baths offer a range of benefits for the mind and body. Saunas, with their dry heat, promote relaxation and stress reduction. They help increase blood circulation, open up the pores, and induce sweating, which aids in detoxification and purifying the skin. Saunas can also improve cardiovascular health by enhancing heart rate and promoting vasodilation. 

On the other hand, ice baths, or cold water immersion, provides a contrasting therapeutic effect. They force your central nervous system to adapt, help reduce inflammation, relieve muscle soreness, and speed up recovery after intense physical activity.
