The Thermal Journey

The foundation of thermotherapy at our Intentional Spa is the thermal  journey, whereby an alternation of hot, cold and relaxation generates a purifying and revitalizing physical impact; as well as bringing serenity and calm to the mind.

It is a time-honoured practice, with physical and psychological benefits that Nordic advocates have attested to for more than 2,000 years.

To gain the greatest effect from the thermal cycle, the heat phase (sauna/steam) should be taken in for a ten-minute period; followed by 5-10 seconds of cold exposure (ice bath or bucket shower); followed by a rest of 10-20 minutes in length (relaxation area) – then, repeat.

The cycle provides a boost to circulation and immunity, it cleanses and treats the skin, accelerates recovery, releases endorphins, and activates the lungs to improve capacity.

Thermal Journey

HOT- Duration 10-15mins.

The first step of the Thermal Journey is pure heat.

Step inside, breathe in, feel the heat raise the temperature of your skin, your heartbeat race, blood vessels dilate, and dew-like droplets of sweat form on your forehead.

Benefits:

Relieves Stress

Soothes Joint and Muscle Pain

Eliminates Toxins

Stimulates the Immune System

COLD - Duration 5-10sec.

The second step of the Journey  is glacial and invigorating. Feel the energizing effects of the thermal shock using the glacial dump bucket shower.

Benefits:

Releases Adrenaline

Closes pores and tightens the skin

Improves blood flow

RELAX- Duration 10-15mins.

Allow yourself to rest as you sway gently on our suspended swing couches. As your body recovers the bliss hormone Endorphins replace the Adrenaline.

Benefits:

Produces Endorphins

Creates a profound sense of calm

Releases tension

Promotes better sleep
