Cold Meets Heat
Contrast therapy alternates between cold exposure and infrared warmth to create a vascular pumping effect that neither achieves alone.
Contrast therapy at VAURA Wellness uses structured alternation between cold and warm environments to support recovery. Blood vessels constrict during cold exposure and dilate during warmth, creating a natural pumping effect that flushes inflammation from tissue and draws fresh, nutrient-rich blood in.
| Cold Exposure | 10 to 15°C |
| Warm Exposure | 60 to 70°C (infrared) |
| Duration | 20 to 40 minutes |
| Cycles | Multiple alternating rounds |
| Supervision | Staff guided throughout |
| Price | ₹2,799 per session — available upon launch |
How Contrast Therapy Works
Cold Exposure
Cold causes vasoconstriction. Blood flow to the surface reduces, inflammation slows, and pain signals are numbed.
Warm Exposure
Warmth causes vasodilation. Blood rushes back, delivering oxygen and nutrients. Infrared warmth penetrates deeper than conventional heat.
Vascular Pumping Effect
Alternating creates a pumping action. Each cycle flushes metabolic waste while drawing fresh, oxygenated blood in.
Nervous System Regulation
The alternation stimulates the autonomic nervous system, helping transition from stress to recovery state.
