At BaanBiome, eating well is about more than just health—it’s about living with real vitality. We’re here to help you fuel your body so you can keep doing what you love, every single day.
After a long day at work or an intense workout, come unwind and recharge with us. Our sauna and ice bath—available by pre-booking—are designed to support your active lifestyle.
Saunas help you relax, boost circulation, and detoxify your body. Ice baths reduce inflammation, speed up muscle recovery, and improve circulation. Together, they offer the perfect balance of heat and cold therapy to enhance your overall wellness, helping you recover faster and feel less stressed.
What sets BaanBiome apart? You can book a private session for total peace and comfort. And if you drop in and prefer not to share the tub, just let us know—an upgrade fee applies, and we’ll refresh the water and ice just for you. Plus, we always use drinking-grade ice to keep everything clean and safe!
Infrared Sauna Benefits:
• Deep Detoxification – Sweat out heavy metals and environmental toxins through your skin (your body’s largest detox organ).
• Muscle & Joint Recovery – Infrared heat penetrates deep into tissues, helping to relieve stiffness, soothe soreness, and accelerate repair.
• Cardiovascular Boost – Mimics the effects of mild exercise by increasing heart rate and circulation, supporting overall heart health.
• Stress Resilience – Heat therapy activates your parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels by up to 30% and promoting a sense of calm.
• Immunity Support – May enhance white blood cell production, giving your immune system a natural boost.
• Heat Shock Protein Activation – Exposure to high heat (typically 15–30 minutes at 55–65°C / 130–150°F) stimulates the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs), which help protect your cells from stress, reduce inflammation, and support healthy aging and cellular repair.
• Metabolic & Weight Support – Regular use may increase caloric burn and improve metabolic rate, making it a useful complement to an active lifestyle.
• Hormonal Balance – Supports detox pathways related to hormone metabolism, especially helpful for estrogen balance and endocrine health.
• Improved Insulin Sensitivity – Emerging studies show regular infrared sauna sessions may help regulate blood sugar and support insulin function.
Ice Bath Advantages:
• Inflammation Control – Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict, helping to flush out metabolic waste and reduce inflammation—especially after intense workouts or injury.
• Pain Relief – The numbing effect of cold immersion reduces nerve sensitivity, easing sore muscles and joint discomfort.
• Natural Energy & Mood Boost – Just 3–5 minutes in an ice bath can spike dopamine levels by up to 250%, leading to a lasting natural high, improved focus, and increased motivation.
• Nervous System Reset – Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to regulate stress, improve resilience, and calm mental chatter.
• Metabolic Activation – Stimulates brown fat (your body’s heat-generating tissue), boosting metabolism and helping you burn more calories for hours after the session.
• Improved Circulation – Cold exposure enhances blood flow efficiency, training your vascular system to adapt better to temperature stress—improving overall cardiovascular health.
• Immune System Support – Regular cold exposure may increase white blood cell count and improve immune function by boosting lymphatic drainage.
• Mental Toughness & Resilience – Ice baths challenge your mind as much as your body. Consistent practice builds discipline, stress tolerance, and mental grit.
• Sleep Quality – Post-cold exposure, your core temperature drops, promoting a deeper and more restful sleep.
• Reduced Muscle Soreness (DOMS) – Helps shorten recovery time and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness, making it a favorite among athletes and fitness lovers.
Step into a revitalizing journey that combines the soothing warmth of infrared sauna with the invigorating chill of ice baths. This dynamic duo—known as contrast therapy—is designed to boost your body’s natural healing, detoxification, and resilience in ways that heat or cold alone simply can’t match.
What happens during contrast therapy?
When you alternate between heat and cold, your blood vessels rhythmically dilate and constrict, creating a powerful “vascular pump.” This pump flushes toxins, enhances circulation, and stimulates your lymphatic system. It’s like giving your body a deep internal cleanse while recharging your mind and spirit.
Key Benefits You’ll Feel
Deep Detoxification & Lymphatic Drainage: Heat opens your pores and relaxes tissues, allowing toxins to sweat out, while cold compresses vessels to flush waste from tissues and lymph nodes.
Accelerated Muscle & Joint Recovery: Reduce inflammation, ease soreness, and speed up healing by increasing blood flow and clearing metabolic waste.
Boosted Immune Function: Stimulate white blood cell production and lymphatic activity to strengthen your body’s defenses.
Stress Relief & Mental Reset: The contrast balances your nervous system, lowers stress hormones like cortisol, and spikes feel-good chemicals like dopamine and endorphins.
Improved Circulation & Cardiovascular Health: Regular contrast therapy trains your blood vessels to be more flexible and resilient, supporting overall heart health.
Enhanced Sleep Quality: Helps regulate your internal clock and promote deep, restorative sleep cycles.
Increased Mental Focus & Mood: The hormonal boosts and relaxation effects leave you clear-headed, energized, and balanced.
Builds Stress Resilience: Over time, your body adapts to these temperature shifts, making you better equipped to handle daily stress.
1. Start with Heat (Infrared Sauna or Warm Bath)
Duration: 15–30 minutes
What to do: Relax, hydrate, and let the far-infrared heat penetrate your muscles and tissues. This warms you up, opens pores, and stimulates sweating.
2. Follow with Cold (Ice Bath or Cold Shower)
Duration: 3–5 minutes
What to do: Immerse yourself in cold water or take a cold shower. Focus on steady breathing to ease the shock. The cold constricts blood vessels and stimulates your nervous system.
3. Repeat Cycles (Optional)
Depending on your comfort level and experience, you can alternate heat and cold 2–3 times. Always end on cold to invigorate and close pores.
4. Hydrate & Rest
Drink plenty of water to support detoxification and help your body recover. Take time to relax after the session to maximize benefits.
Listen to Your Body: Start slow, especially with cold exposure. If new to ice baths, begin with shorter durations or cooler showers before progressing.
Consistency is Key: Regular contrast therapy sessions (2–3 times per week) offer the best long-term benefits.
Stay Safe: Avoid contrast therapy if you have certain health conditions (e.g., cardiovascular issues, cold intolerance, or skin conditions) without consulting your doctor.
Embrace the natural power of heat and cold to refresh your body, reset your mind, and boost your overall wellness. Whether you’re recovering from a tough workout, managing stress, or simply looking for a rejuvenating ritual, contrast therapy is your all-in-one solution for a healthier, happier you.
