Anti-Inflammatory
Inflammatory conditions such as fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and arthritis are chronic pain, redness, swelling, or stiffness caused by the body’s natural response to an injury. Because WBC enhances the body’s natural healing mechanisms, WBC can be a very effective anti-inflammatory treatment for the following conditions, among others:
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder caused by overstimulation of your brain’s pain sensors. Because WBC works by manipulating pain sensors into implementing a heightened level of your body’s natural healing mechanisms in response to cooler temperatures, many patients have experienced long term relief from fibromyalgia thanks to WBC.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is caused by the over stimulated growth of skin cells. During the WBC session, this growth is temporarily slowed so that the body can focus on transporting blood to extremities in order to keep them warm. After the session is complete, skin cell growth is “reset” back to normal levels, resulting not only in the effects of psoriasis being minimized but also in a healthier, more youthful complexion.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
WBC was developed in its original form in Japan in order to treat rheumatoid arthritis and inflammation. The cool temperatures from the cryosauna gently force inflammation to subside, providing relief from joint pain for most patients immediately after use.
Depression and Anxiety
The ultra cool air used in WBC causes the brain to release a higher than normal level of endorphins and other “feel good” hormones. Because of the increased endorphins and adrenaline levels after a session, many users have reported enhanced mood and increased energy thanks to WBC.
Reported Benefits of WBC for Health and Wellness include:
Reduced inflammation
Reduced psychological stress, anxiety, and depression
Increased energy
Improved sleep
Enhanced immune function
