The thermal cycle

" I invite you to lose your bearings to find yourself. These are the three stages of a complete thermal cycle that will maximize the benefits of thermotherapy to your body. "

<em>Hot</em>

Hot

ABANDON YOUR BODY TO THE SCORCHING BLOW OF ROCKS

10–15 MINUTES | 90 DEGREES CELSIUS

This is the toughest stage of thermal cycle; the high temperatures will dilate your skin pores and your blood vessels, which will allow your body to eliminate every toxin in your system. The body, under the effects of heat, will try to maintain its normal temperature of 37 degree Celsius.

<em>Cold</em>

Cold

BREATH IN THE INTENSITY OF THE PRESENT MOMENT

15 SECONDES | 15 DEGREES CELSIUS

At this point, your body will be completely seized by the intensity of temperature contrast. Immerse yourself outright in the cold waterfall and stay there until you feel how the icy water enters your epidermis. The thermal shock will close your skin pores and will increase your blood circulation and your adrenaline levels.

<em>Relaxation</em>

Relaxation

LET YOUR MIND ROAM BETWEEN THE LINES OF YOUR SLEEPY CONSCIOUSNESS

Adrenaline will pave the way for endorphins to flow all over your body; it’s pointless to cover yourself following the experience in the waterfall, as, for a few minutes, you won’t feel the difference of temperature. Lay down comfortably to allow your body to recover from this physical and mental test. Through deep relaxation, you will release all the accumulated tensions. It is capital to remain hydrated during this stage and give your body time to breathe a little before repeating a cycle.
