seasonal allergies?

WE CAN HELP!

Seasonal allergies affect millions of people worldwide, and the symptoms can be severe enough to have a pretty negative impact on your daily life. Here in Louisville, we understand that impact better than most. While medications can help alleviate symptoms, Cryotherapy and infrared sauna are more natural therapies that have been found to have potential health benefits that may help reduce the symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Cryo + Allergies

Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extreme cold temperatures for a short period of time. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which can reduce inflammation and boost immune function. Inflammation is a common symptom of seasonal allergies, and reducing inflammation can help alleviate allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing.

Research has shown that cryotherapy may reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the body. Cytokines are proteins that play a key role in the body's immune response. High levels of inflammatory cytokines have been associated with chronic inflammation and a range of health conditions, including allergies. By reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines, cryotherapy may help reduce inflammation and alleviate allergy symptoms.

Cryotherapy is also thought to help to reduce the production of histamine, a chemical created in the body that is released by white blood cells into the bloodstream when the immune system is defending against a potential allergen. The reduction in histamine after a cryotherapy session can help to alleviate allergy symptoms. The extreme cold temps used during cryotherapy also triggers the production of epinephrine in the body, a natural steroid used to reduce inflammation.

Infrared Saunas + Allergies

Infrared sauna therapy uses infrared light to heat the body directly, rather than the air around it, as in traditional saunas. This can help reduce the strain on the respiratory system, making it a more comfortable experience for people with allergies. Infrared sauna therapy has been found to have several potential health benefits, including boosting immune function and reducing the inflammatory effects of allergies.

In a study done by the Department of Biomedical Engineering, patients received infrared light treatment in their nasal region for 40 minutes every morning for seven days. Over the course of the study, patients reported improvements in sneezing, nasal stuffiness, eye and nasal itching and no obvious adverse effects were reported or observed during treatment and follow-up with the patients. Researchers concluded that infrared heat may serve as a treatment option for allergic rhinitis and could help to improve symptoms for people who suffer from it.

Overall, cryotherapy and infrared sauna therapy may offer a natural way to help alleviate the symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Note: Cryotherapy and infrared sauna therapy should not be considered a substitute for medical treatment. If you experience severe allergy symptoms, you should consult a healthcare provider for appropriate medical treatment. Additionally, cryotherapy and infrared sauna therapy may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, should consult with their healthcare provider before using these therapies.
