We initially began as an infrared sauna company back in 2008 (making us the longest-running infrared sauna company in Australia) and recently, we expanded to become a hormesis technology company offering an ecosystem of hormetic products that we’re pretty excited about. So what exactly is hormetic technology? And why are hormesis products fast becoming one of the hottest recovery and performance aids in the fitness, health & wellbeing industries?
What is Hormetic Technology?
Our bodies can adapt and become incredibly resilient, and when we harness this power we can use it to improve our health & well-being. Hormesis is the biological process where certain types of stress at the right amount result in beneficial effects on our cells and our health. By exposing the body to controlled stressors regularly, we can access a slew of beneficial physiological health outcomes.
Hormetic technology is equipment designed to induce beneficial stressors in a controlled and safe manner so we can activate a range of protection mechanisms and survival systems in the body. When these systems are activated this promotes a range of beneficial outcomes for both our bodies and our minds.
Benefits you can achieve through hormetic technology like our ice baths and saunas include:
- Improved cardio fitness and health
- Healthier skin
- Improved circulation and cellular health
- Improved cognitive function (the building of new brain synapses), resilience, focus, clarity and concentration
- Better tolerance to stressful situations
- Quicker recovery time after exercise (reduced inflammation, pain and swelling)
- Slowing down the aging process / increasing longevity (including more youthful-looking skin)
- Better sleep
- Effective weight management
