Whole Body Cryotherapy

Whole Body Cryotherapy

Published by on April 23, 2019 | Leave a response

You don’t have to be an athlete to get benefits from whole body cryotherapy, but many professional athletes do use it. It’s a lot quicker and less painful than sitting hours in an ice bath, which used to be the treatment for muscle pain and injury. It increases circulation, just as ice baths and ice packs do, but does it in three to five minutes and without the pain of sitting for hours in a tub filled with ice. Studies show that it even can bring relief to rheumatoid arthritis sufferers and can promote healing as it reduces the pain.

What is this miracle called whole body cryotherapy?

Whole body cryotherapy is a technique that exposes your body to temperatures that are between -200 degrees Fahrenheit and -256 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately three minutes. That super cold temperature triggers a message to the brain that the body needs to make changes before it freezes. It constricts the blood vessels near the surface of the skin and sends it to the core of the body to keep it warm. On its way, it’s cleansed and filled with oxygen and nutrients and continues that until the session is over when it immediately returns to the peripheral areas like the muscle tissues, joint areas and skin.

Cryotherapy can do more than just relieve pain from sports injury.

Your skin will look better after using cryotherapy. You’ll notice the difference almost immediately. Remember those rosy cheeks you had as a kid when you came in from the cold? You’ll increase circulation to all parts of the body, including the skin. That also helps reduce inflammation. It can be part of a beauty regimen that can work in unison to improve your appearance.

It can help freeze your bottom off, too.

That’s right! Cryotherapy can help you lose weight. It doesn’t replace healthy eating and exercise, but it can help to burn extra calories and boost your metabolism, making weight loss even easier. Your body has to work really hard to stay warm in those sub-zero temperatures and that means burning extra calories. One session not only boosts your metabolism throughout the day, but also burns hundreds of calories while you’re doing it.

  • You’ll release endorphins when you have a cryotherapy session. That means you’ll get the mood boosting feeling they bring and it can help your mood.
  • Whole body cryotherapy has been known to boost your energy level, too.
  • The increased circulation and reduction of inflammation may help prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia. Preliminary studies show it has a positive effect in those areas.
  • Cryotherapy stimulates the production of collagen that helps both the skin and hair. It improves the skin’s elasticity and strength.

A Float Pool In Corona

A Float Pool In Corona

Published by on April 16, 2019 | Leave a response

You often see people lounging around the pool and some frequenting a floating bar when you go to posh resorts. It sounds like fun and sounds relaxing, but float therapy isn’t a floating lounge, it’s even better. It’s the ultimate in relaxation to free your mind from all sensory input, including the sense of touch. You float atop a mixture of Epsom salt and water that suspends you weightlessly without putting any pressure on your body. It frees the mind and the spirit. There is a post float retreat area to go to after the float to savor the experience.

There is a lounge at some providers.

Every facility is different and provides different amenities. Some provide actual tanks while others provide large rooms with floating areas inside that eliminate the potential for claustrophobia. We offer both tanks and larger cabins to ensure more people can enjoy the experience. As noted before, we also offer a post float retreat area to enjoy the relaxed feeling longer after the experience … although floating really is the ultimate experience.

Floating can help you mentally relax, something even sleep can’t do.

If you’ve gone through sleepless nights or tossing and turning, only to wake up in a panic when you suddenly find yourself worrying about the kids, the job or even your health, you’ll appreciate the float tank. The lowered sensory input to the brain and nervous system has been shown to reduce the symptoms of anxiety, stress and even depression, which often keep people awake at night. The amazing relaxation that takes place in a float tank can help regulate your sleep pattern.

Floating can boost your overall health and help you heal faster.

Float therapy can help you sleep better and relax, that alone can boost your immune system. It also helps painful conditions like arthritis and muscle strain for two reasons. One is the magnesium in the water that comes from the Epsom salt. Magnesium can be absorbed through the skin and helps relax the muscles. The weightlessness also relieves pressure on sore muscles to help boost circulation, so they heal faster.

  • We also offer tanks large enough for two. It’s the perfect way for a couple to relax and wind down together and spend some time afterward together in the post retreat area.
  • Since you’re suspended in water and Epsom salt that keep you buoyant, it’s like being in a zero gravity situation, which is an experience few have had.
  • Floating gives you mental freedom and some people find it boosts their creativity.
  • If you’re an athlete who wants an improved performance, try floating, especially after a workout. It helps reduce the lactic acid in the blood and reduce pain and stiffness. Some studies show it improves athletic performance.

Cryotherapy For Athletes

Cryotherapy For Athletes

Published by on April 3, 2019 | Leave a response

No matter whether you’re pressing weights or sliding into home base, there are bound to be injuries and soreness from giving it your all in the pursuit of athletic perfection. Those aching joints and muscle pains are badges of the effort you put in that aren’t always welcome…probably never welcomed. They can interfere with both daily life and your next physical endeavor. It’s one reason many sports teams use cryotherapy to help ease the pain of a tough game. Cryotherapy for athletes is available in Corona so you can experience the pain relief that the professional receive.

How does cryotherapy work?

It’s mind-numbing cold that makes it work. The temperatures in the cryochamber drop between -200 degrees Fahrenheit and -256 degrees Fahrenheit. That bone chilling cold is experienced for about three minutes then you exit the tank. What’s amazing, is that it really doesn’t feel that cold. It’s cold, but not painfully cold like sitting in a tub of ice for hours and it does the same job in a fraction of the time.

The processes that take place in your body from the cold is what brings relief.

The cold triggers the brain to send hormones that make the changes in the body that causes the blood vessels to constrict near the surface of the skin to prevent the blood from cooling too much. It sends it deep into the body where it goes through the cycle of cleansing and then saturating with oxygen and nutrients. When you step out of the cryochamber, it sends that oxygen and nutrient rich blood to all the peripheral muscles and tissues, increasing circulation in the process and aiding in the recovery of the sore muscles and joint tissue.

You’ll get a boost of endorphins, too.

As a side benefit, the cryotherapy helps boost your production of endorphins. When the body is exposed to the cold, it starts to produce endorphins in preparation for the potential stress of the cold. Endorphins are the body’s natural “happy pills” that are chemicals for the brain to help bring that “runner’s high” of pleasure and reduce the feeling of pain. You leave the chamber with an enhanced feeling of well-being.

  • Not only muscle and joint pain from injury, but other diseases are caused by inflammation. Cryotherapy helps reduce inflammation, which helps reduce swelling and soreness.
  • You’ll get the benefit of an ice bath without the gnawing pain and potential injury that can come from sitting for hours in icy cold water.
  • You don’t have to wait for the pain. If you know you’ve had a tough workout or suffered a potential injury, head to a cryochamber and prevent the swelling and pain it can cause.
  • When you need to heal faster, a cryotherapy treatment can help. Just reducing inflammation and increasing circulation will do a lot for your body.

Lower Blood Pressure With Cryotherapy

Lower Blood Pressure With Cryotherapy

Published by on March 25, 2019 | Leave a response

Having high blood pressure can create problems that range from heart failure to a stroke. It can cause vision problems, aneurysms, diabetes and loss of vision. One of the causes of the damage from high blood pressure occurs in the arteries. It can damage the artery walls, which then is repaired with plaque. That starts atherosclerosis. The more plaque that occurs, the narrower the arteries become, increasing the blood pressure even more. That starts a snowball effect leading down a road that nobody should travel. It’s time to take action and lower blood pressure with cryotherapy.

Inflammation plays a role in high blood pressure.

Inflammation is good sometimes. It’s part of the immune system of the body. It occurs when the white blood cells release chemicals that increase blood flow to aid in healing. You’ve probably noticed it if you’ve ever scraped or cut yourself. It raises the area and turns it red and warm. CRP—C-reactive protein—is the inflammation marker in the blood. When you have a high amount of it in the blood, the chances of having high blood pressure are great. Knowing that brings up the question, which came first. Did the high blood pressure increase the CRP or did the high amount of CRP and inflammation increase the blood pressure? It also brings up the potential that by reducing the CRP can also reduce the blood pressure.

There are studies that show that you can reduce high blood pressure with cryotherapy.

There are even clinical trials that show that cryotherapy, when combined with physical activity, can lower blood pressure. Cryotherapy reduces the amount of CRP in the blood, which can lower the potential for cholesterol plaque. By reducing inflammation, it also lowers blood pressure. Cryotherapy can start the blood vessels to constrict and dilate, which reduces the heart’s work and lowers high blood pressure.

Cryotherapy can help you lose weight.

Whole body cryotherapy has the ability to help you lose weight and that also helps lower your blood pressure. It boosts your body’s metabolism and can increase burning up to 800 extra calories with just three minutes in the cryochamber. Think about how your body reacts to going out in extremely cold weather. It changes blood flow to ensure the core organs are kept warmer, narrowing the blood vessels and causing you to shiver. It’s almost like exercise, with each shiver it’s burning more calories. Weight loss is often important for lowering blood pressure.

  • You’ll lower hormones created for stress, such as cortisol. Cortisol increases weight around your middle which is called visceral fat. That’s the most dangerous type of fat, since it crowds organs and increases the risk for high blood pressure.
  • You’ll sleep better when you use cryotherapy. Studies show that when you don’t get enough sleep, it increases the hunger hormone and reduces the hormone that makes you feel full.
  • Time in a cryochamber should never exceed five minutes. In fact, most people normally do not exceed three minutes.
  • While cryotherapy eventually lowers blood pressure, it can raise it while you’re in the chamber. Those with extremely high blood pressure, heart disease or serious medical conditions should always consult their physician first or consider an alternative like float therapy.

Increase Your Circulation

Increase Your Circulation

Published by on March 16, 2019 | Leave a response

No matter what your age, having good circulation is important. If you don’t have it, the oxygen and nutrient rich blood doesn’t flow to all cells to promote growth and aid internal organs. You can increase circulation with exercise, but there are other ways to help boost it. Improved circulation helps your heart function, improves your overall health and even makes your skin look years younger. When you have improved circulation, it lowers your heart rate, allowing your heart muscles to relax and blood pressure to improve.

Moving your body in synergy helps unblock circulatory paths.

Qigong is the art of gentle movements practiced for more than 2000 years in China. It features fluid movements and positions that are tied to the breath with mindfulness. It not only can improve stamina and strength, it improves blood pressure and boosts circulation. Best of all, it’s perfectly safe for almost everyone, even people with heart disease, who have had heart failure, bypass surgery or myocardial infarction. That means you can improve your circulation to help overcome those problems.

Consider floating.

Float therapy is another low impact way to aid poor circulation that everyone can do. You lay in ten inches of water supersaturated with Epsom salts. That makes the water dense, so you float on top of it. You’ll take any pressure off joints and muscles, while lowering your blood pressure and improving your circulation. Float therapy also provides magnesium for your body, can also lower blood pressure and is heart healthy.

Try a cryochamber for a boost in circulation.

If you’re in good health, just with poor circulation, it’s time to nip that problem of poor circulation before it leads to other health issues. A cryotherapy treatment could be the answer you’re hoping to find. In just three minutes, you’ll have amazing results and improved circulation. A cryochamber lowers the temperature to a negative 240 degrees. That causes the blood vessels to constrict and move more to the core. It helps enrich the blood. Once you’re out, the vessels return to normal and the nutrient and oxygen rich blood goes to all parts of the body, boosting circulation.

  • Sweating helps increase circulation. If you use an infrared sauna to boost circulation, you’ll be giving your heart a workout. It increases the heartrate and blood flow to all parts of the body in an effort to cool via sweating.
  • Breathing easier can also help you move more to improve your circulation. Starting with halotherapy, which is dry salt therapy, you can help improve conditions like lung function, breathing and reduce shortness of breath, so you’re able to move to the next step of improving circulation.
  • While working out regularly and eating healthy is a sure way to boost circulation, not everyone is able to do that. Finding an alternative that helps you improve and then move to the next stage (exercising), can be the best way to improve your circulation.
  • A massage is also good for circulation. Not only does it boost circulation, it relaxes muscles and tissue that if tight, can cause the problem.

Get Better Rest

Get Better Rest

Published by on March 3, 2019 | Leave a response

Are you finding it tough to get through the day? Do you stress out easily? Are you constantly hungry? Maybe you need to get better rest. If you’re constantly working and put off bedtime, because frankly, you have too much going through your head, finding the best way to relax and get that needed sleep will not only let you wake up refreshed, it will also boost your energy to get more done in less time.

Consider cryotherapy.

If you’ve ever been involved in active sports in the winter, you know how tired you are at the end of the day and how easily you fall asleep. When you enter the cryochamber, that sudden reduction in temperature does many things to help sleep. The most important is the hormones it causes the body to produce. These hormones are endorphins and can help reduce mild forms of depression and relieve pain, which can impede sleep. They also act like a mild sedative to bring that lovely relaxed feeling.

Try float therapy.

Some people say that forty minutes in a float tank is like five extra hours of sleep. It definitely relaxes you, that’s true. Float therapy takes place in a pool filled with approximately ten inches of water that is warmed to body temperature. The water is filled with up to 1000 pounds of Epsom salts (which is magnesium sulfate). The room is quiet and dark, to reduce any mental stimulation that might keep you awake. Since the Epsom salts makes the water denser, you don’t sink, but float easily on the top of it. It relieves all pressure on the body. The magnesium in the Epsom salts relaxes muscles. You’ll sleep soundly not only during the process, but that night also.

Consider Halotherapy—dry salt therapy.

For years, people have visited salt mines to get the benefits of dry salt in the air. It’s a natural way to treat many conditions, such as respiratory problems. It not only opens nasal passages and clears the respiratory system, it also has an extremely relaxing effect on the body. It can help stimulate deep sleep so you’ll get a good night’s rest. If you’ve ever been to the ocean, you know how relaxing the salt air can be.

  • If aches and pains are keeping you awake, a session in the infrared sauna can make you feel more relaxed, while reducing the pain and allowing you to sleep at night.
  • Lucia N°03 works two ways. It can help clear your mind and energize you, but also can help you relax. The soothing lights and colors help you relax.
  • Exercise more. The more you move, the more you increase circulation and boost the production of endorphins that can help you relax.
  • Try yoga or qigong. Qigong works with your energy flow and can be used for both increasing energy and relaxation. It helps you to deal with stress and energy blocks.

Salt Room Therapy – Halotherapy Treatment Benefits

Salt room or salt cave treatment, commonly known as halotherapy, is on the rise along with health-conscious individuals increasingly looking out for natural, alternative remedies. Once exclusively accessible to the famous and the rich in upscale spas, the halotherapy treatment is now available for all. It’s known as having a plethora of health benefits, primarily related to skin and respiratory conditions.

Brief History of Salt Therapy

The origins of the salt therapy lie in Central and Eastern Europe. It can be traced back in the middle of 19th century when a Polish health official named Dr. Felix Boczkowski observed that the workers of the salt mines didn’t become ill including any lung conditions.

Since that moment, a lot of salt caves were carved out in salt mountains throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Some of these salt caves are hundreds of feet below the ground, explicitly for clients with allergies, diseases and asthmatics.

 

What is Halotherapy or Salt Room Treatment?

A salt room is a therapeutic salt chamber that contains a massive amount of salt.  Salt is distributed throughout the floor and the salt covers the walls. It has a salt generator which disperses pharma grade salt particles to the air. These can be inhaled safely during the salt chamber session. The salt particles act as an anti-bacterial and anti- inflammatory agent.

What’s more, the particles are ionized negatively with high kinetic energy and mixed with the salt across the room. This creates a similar environment to like the setting in the European salt mines a long time ago. The miners who worked within the salt caves were discovered to have fewer respiratory issues, and health  incidents in general. So, Salt Therapy was born!

Benefits of Salt Room and Halotherapy Treatment Sessions

In case you didn’t know yet, the negatively charged dry salt particles support mucus clearing in your lungs. It can relieve bronchial inflammation and gets rid of the pathogen agents like airborne pollen.

The significant part of this kind of therapy is that it’s easy and non-invasive. All you need is to lie or sit in the room as comfortable as you can. Have we mentioned that the salt chamber spas contain zero gravity chairs in the room which help the client feel more relaxed?

You see, the benefits are twice when you think about meditation for an hour while you consume the healing benefits of the salt.

Who can Halotherapy Benefit?

Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness and or  live in highly polluted environments, skin conditions, inflammation or stress can see positive results from Halo therapy. Far from exhaustive, below are some of the conditions that can be impacted by regularly using salt room treatment.

  •       Allergies
  •       Asthma
  •       Bronchitis
  •       COPD
  •       Cystic fibrosis
  •       Dermatitis
  •       Eczema
  •       Insomnia
  •       Respiratory Inflammation
  •        Rhinitis
  •       Stress
  •       Tonsillitis

If you’re experiencing a lowered quality of life because of these conditions, try our salt room therapy. Of course, doing your research is crucial, but halo therapy has been used for centuries with proven results.

     Float State is Spa that specializes in all natural, alternative, health treatments. Relax, unwind and get to a better state!
