Whole Body Cryosauna

Whole Body Cryosauna (WBC) therapy is the therapeutic application of extremely cold dry air/gas usually between −90°C and −120°C.

1) the circulatory system


2) the nervous system 


3) energy meridians



Treatments take only 2-3 minutes!


Depending on the condition of treatment, it is recommended the patient to take initially take 5 – 10 treatments in close succession (separated by 1-2 days ---  3x/week) to maximize the results.  After this initial treatment regiment, patients can take fewer treatments that are spaced further apart to maintain and improve on the results.
