🌿 Health Benefits of the Hot-Cold-Relax Cycle at the Nordic Bunny Place Retreat
At Upper Clements Cottages & RV Park, our Nordic-style Bunny Place Retreat offers more than just relaxation—it promotes a range of health and wellness benefits through the traditional hot-cold-relax cycle. This time-honored practice, inspired by Scandinavian spa rituals, involves moving between a hot sauna, a cold plunge, and a rest period—and repeating the cycle.
🔥 Sauna (Heat Phase) Spending time in the sauna raises your body temperature, which:
Improves circulation and blood flow
Helps relax muscles and ease joint pain
Encourages detoxification through sweating
Reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels
❄️ Cold Plunge (Cooling Phase) The immediate switch to a cold plunge pool:
Stimulates the nervous system and increases alertness
Strengthens the immune system
Helps reduce inflammation and muscle soreness
Promotes mental clarity and mood enhancement
🧘 Relaxation (Rest Phase) After the heat and cold exposure, the rest period allows the body to:
Normalize heart rate and blood pressure
Enhance the body's natural healing and recovery processes
Deepen the sense of relaxation and calm
Repeating this cycle can leave you feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and energized. Whether you're a seasoned spa-goer or trying it for the first time, the Bunny Place Retreat offers a revitalizing experience for body and mind—all within the peaceful setting of our riverside park.
