Key Benefits of Hot and Cold Therapy (Contrast Therapy)

Sauna 

Under the high-heat provided by a sauna, the body releases endorphins which can minimize pain and is often associated with a “runner's high.” As the body temperature rises in the heat of the sauna, blood vessels dilate allowing for increased blood circulation, which in turn speeds the body's natural healing process.
Other proven scientific benefits: 

Detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation.

"Regular sauna use has also been found in studies to help reduce inflammation, which has been associated to a variety of chronic health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Sauna use has also been proved to promote skin health, reduce stress, and even aid in weight loss." - Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., The Huberman Lab,  - neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University

According to one study, regular sauna use was linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease as well as a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Another study discovered that using a sauna reduced the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia."
