HOT AND COLD: A PRECIOUS ALTERNATION FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS

The hot/cold alternation as a method of personal care dates back to the end of 19th century, when Sebastian Kneipp discovered the thermal and mechanical effects of hydrotherapy, while studying its impact on the nervous and immune systems.

Actually, the so-called “Kneipp Cure” was a much more complex method that paved the way to the current concept of “holistic” therapy, thus considering the individual as an indissoluble marriage of body and soul.  In fact, it is founded on 5 main pillars:

1. Hydrotherapy
2. Phytotherapy
3. Nutrition
4. Exercise
5. A balanced lifestyle

Today, there is no doubt about the therapeutic power of hot/cold alternation: the central nervous system transfers to the body all the stimuli received at a skin level, thus reinforcing the immune system and balancing the endocrine system; moreover, it strengthens the circulatory and venous system thanks to its passive exercise produced by the alternation between vasodilation and vasoconstriction).  While heat calms and soothes the body, thus increasing vasodilation and slowing down the activity of internal organs, cold boosts and reinvigorates them: this alternate pace reduces stress and positively stimulates body and mind.

Then technological innovations came to help us, and today they allow us to achieve differences in temperature which are much higher than in the past. Just think about cryotherapy, that enables the body to undergo a temperature of -190 degrees Celsius: this was unthinkable up to some years ago.
