Soak this Up – plunge, rejuvenate and regenerate

Our region is bountiful with the most pristine rainforest waterholes, rivers, tea tree lakes, vast oceans and waterfalls.

But locals also gather and soak away at bathhouses including Kiva Spa and The Banya in Mullumbimby. Both of these wellness havens are social, community-orientated and affordable.

Luxury bathhouses are on the horizon. Comma Spaces opened their second bathhouse in September while Byron Bathhouse will open a ‘medicine water therapy’ bathhouse in October  http://thebyronbathhouse.com.au

Contrast therapy is another way to elevate your wellbeing. For infrared saunas and ice bath therapies offered in sublime surrounds, we recommend Nimbusco in the Arts & Industry Estate. Fitness studios including Social Remedy http://socialremedy.com.au Mahi Health Club http://mahihealthclub.com and Body Workz http://bodyworkz.com.au also house Infrared Saunas and other biohacking therapies.

Retreat destinations in Byron that offer Infrared Saunas include Eleme Spa at Crystalbrook Byron Bay http://crystalbrookcollection.com/eleme-spa/byron

Gaia Retreat in the Byron Bay hinterland houses a day spa with infrared sauna, salt water pool and steam.

Visit Byron’s best biohacking wellness clinic, Quantum Uplift  for Red Light Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage Compression and Oxygen Therapy.

Infrared saunas, contrast therapy with hot and cold plunge dips have long been used by athletes for recovery and repair. Today these therapies are accessible to all wellness enthusiasts. Infrared Saunas provide an effective way to gently cleanse toxins and heavy metals from the body through the skin. Contrast therapy (alternating icy cold and hot immersions) can be beneficial for reducing inflammation while boosting mood and energy. Just the simple act of soaking your body in warm bubbling magnesium-rich waters is so replenishing. Expect to emerge feeling rejuvenated and recharged.
