The Healing Effects Of Cryotherapy – Facebook Live

If you’re a ‘biohacker” and follow the latest research and advances in medical technology, you’ll have come across the healing benefits of cryotherapy.  Not to be confused with cryogenic freezing 🙂 You may be aware of the power of cold showers and ice baths – in reducing inflammation, bolstering the immune system, raising energy levels and more.

Cryo Therapy takes this one step further. You step inside a chamber and you are taken down to minus 140 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes. This puts the body into fight or flight, sends your blood to your vital organs, triggers the immune system into action, oxygenates the blood, helps to release toxins, stimulates healing (excellent for injury recovery), reduces inflammation considerably and can even help with relaxation and problems with sleeping.

Of course, like all of these “biohacks” they should be use in conjunction with an anti-inflammatory dietary protocol, exercise and lifestyle changes.  When you look into the benefits of this type of treatment, you’ll be amazed…

In bullet form:

• Cryotherapy effectively reduces local and systemic inflammation, a major source of pain and chronic health problems.
• Cryotherapy triggers the release of analgesic (pain-relieving) endorphins such as norepinephrine.
• Pain-gate and dermatomal confusion: cold sensors in the skin travel to the brain faster than pain sensors thus “closing the gate” to the feeling of pain. This dermatomal confusion also explains how analgesics like Ben-Gay relieve pain–a competing sensation (cold) distracts from the sensation of pain.
