Tropical Sauna™

The Tropical Sauna™ takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to set up and 5 minutes to take down.

After doing it once, it becomes easier to do it quickly - we compare it to setting up a small camping tent - we wouldn't recommend setting it up and taking it down daily as it could be tedious.

Then, the SmartSteam must be plugged into the mains and allows steam to be produced in the sauna.

Distilled or purified water is poured into the SmartSteam chamber and within 10 minutes, steam begins to flow from the chamber into the insulated tent.

Ice Pod™

The Ice Pod™ works on the principles of cold water therapy.

Thermal Insulation: The portable Ice Pod is equipped with high-quality thermal insulation materials that help maintain the cold water temperature inside the pod.

Weather Resistance: The Ice Pod is designed to be weather and UV resistant, allowing it to be used indoors or outdoors, even in temperatures below freezing.

Easy assembly and disassembly: The Ice Pod is designed for quick and easy assembly and disassembly, making it portable and suitable for use at home, while traveling, or even outdoors.

Suitable dimensions: The portable Ice Pod is designed with suitable dimensions to be spacious enough while remaining portable. Some can be folded or disassembled for easy transport.

Durability: The materials used for the Ice Pod are durable and non-harmful, ensuring a long life of the product in complete health safety.

Tropical Sauna™

The Tropical Sauna™ heats the interior to over 54°C (130°F).

As a steam sauna, the near 100% humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, producing effects similar to those of a dry sauna over 71°C (160°F).

The condensed area of ​​the sauna also helps to increase the intensity of the heat.

You can easily adjust heat levels and duration directly on the SmartSteam unit and remotely via the remote control.

Ice Pod™

To benefit from the health benefits, you will need to stay in cold water below 15°C (59° Fahrenheit).

We recommend starting with a temperature of around 15°C (59° Fahrenheit) for your ice water bath if this is your first time, then gradually lowering the temperature and duration for each session. This way your body will get used to the cold.

For the more seasoned enthusiast, lower the water temperature to less than 50°F to really feel the shock, and stay there for at least 2 minutes for optimal benefits.

As each individual is different, some people can tolerate lower temperatures.

Tropical Sauna™

The recommended duration of use for a steam sauna depends on various factors, such as individual heat tolerance, general health and sensitivity of each person.

However, in general, experts recommend sauna sessions lasting around 15 to 20 minutes.

The ideal is to achieve a total of 57 minutes of heat exposure per week, divided into several 15 to 20 minute sessions.

It is important to listen to your body during the session. If you feel any discomfort, it is best to exit the sauna. It is also crucial to stay hydrated by drinking water before and after the session to compensate for fluid loss due to sweating. If you have any pre-existing health conditions, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting regular sauna sessions.

Ice Pod™

Cold water therapy works best with the right combination of time and temperature.

To benefit from the health benefits, you will need to stay in cold water below 15°C (59° Fahrenheit) for 3 to 5 minutes.

The total weekly cold exposure to aim for is only 11 minutes, divided into several sessions.

3. Stimulation of the immune system: Exposure to cold can stimulate the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, which could increase resistance to infections.

4. Improved blood circulation: Cold water causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels, followed by vasodilation once you leave the bath, which can improve blood circulation.

5. Increased energy and alertness: Ice baths can stimulate the release of endorphins and increase alertness, providing a feeling of increased energy.

Ice Pod™

We designed the Ice Pod to be weather and UV resistant, allowing you to install it indoors or outdoors, even in sub-freezing temperatures.

The insulation layer significantly slows down the formation of ice in the water, but we still recommend stirring the water at least once a day to prevent it from completely freezing.

Tropical Sauna™

The interior of the thermal insulated cover is designed to prevent mold and bacteria buildup.

A sweat-absorbent, quick-drying, machine-washable mat is included in every order for the sauna bottom.

After use, we recommend leaving the door flap open to allow air circulation and wiping water vapor off the interior walls.

Ice Pod™

Side effects

Ice Bath: Immersion in cold water, such as cold water therapy or ice baths, can have side effects, and it is important to take precautions. Here are some potential side effects of cold water immersion:

1. Hypothermia: Prolonged exposure to cold water can cause excessive body heat loss, leading to hypothermia. This can happen if the water temperature is extremely low and the immersion time is too long.
2. Numbness and tingling: Immersion in cold water can cause numbness and tingling sensations, often due to constriction of blood vessels.
3. Thermal Shock: Suddenly entering very cold water can result in thermal shock, causing a stress response in the body. This can result in rapid breathing and an increased heart rate.
4. Respiratory disorders: Immersion in cold water may cause a respiratory shock reaction, particularly if the head is submerged. This can lead to rapid, shallow breathing.
5. Cardiovascular effects: For some people, immersion in cold water can cause an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. People with cardiovascular problems should consult a healthcare professional before trying this practice.
6. Muscle Soreness: Although cold water immersion can be beneficial for muscle recovery, it can also cause feelings of muscle stiffness or soreness during or after the experience.

Sauna: Regular sauna use can have health benefits, but it is important to note that some people may experience side effects. Here are some potential side effects of sauna:

1. Dehydration: The heat of the sauna can cause you to lose fluids through sweating, which can cause dehydration. It is essential to stay well hydrated by drinking enough water before and after a sauna session.
2. Lowered blood pressure: Saunas can cause blood vessels to dilate, which can cause a temporary drop in blood pressure. People sensitive to these changes should exercise caution and consult their doctor.
3. Feeling dizzy or faint: The heat of the sauna can sometimes cause feelings of dizziness or fainting, especially if the person stays too long or does not hydrate properly.
4. Skin irritation: Some people may experience skin irritation from heat and sweating. It is advisable to take a shower after the sauna session to remove impurities from the skin.
5. Respiratory discomfort: People with respiratory problems may experience discomfort in a sauna, due to the heat and dryness of the air. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before using a sauna.

Our recommendation

Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using contrast therapy correctly actually has many health benefits! We always recommend starting by spending just a few minutes in the ice bath and sauna, then gradually increasing the recommended time, without ever pushing your body beyond its limits.
