Cold Exposure
Cold causes blood vessels to constrict. Blood flow to the surface reduces, inflammation slows, and pain signals are numbed. The body redirects blood to protect vital organs.

Contrast therapy at VAURA Wellness uses structured alternation between cold and warm environments to support recovery. Blood vessels constrict during cold exposure and dilate during warmth, creating a natural pumping effect that flushes inflammation from tissue and draws fresh, nutrient-rich blood in. This centuries-old practice, refined with modern temperature control and professional guidance, supports circulation, muscle relaxation, and nervous system regulation.

Cold causes blood vessels to constrict. Blood flow to the surface reduces, inflammation slows, and pain signals are numbed. The body redirects blood to protect vital organs.
Warmth causes blood vessels to dilate. Blood rushes back to the surface and extremities, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissue. Infrared warmth penetrates deeper than conventional heat, reaching muscles and joints directly.
Alternating between cold and warm creates a pumping action within the blood vessels. Each cycle flushes metabolic waste and inflammation out of tissue while drawing fresh, oxygenated blood in. Multiple cycles amplify this effect significantly.
The alternation between cold and warm stimulates the autonomic nervous system, helping the body shift from a stress state to a recovery state. This supports relaxation, stress reduction, and overall nervous system balance.

Contrast therapy combines the benefits of both cold and heat in a structured sequence,
delivering more comprehensive recovery than either approach alone.
Contrast Therapy + Red Light Therapy (₹4,499)
Contrast therapy drives circulation and flushes inflammation. Red light therapy follows with deep cellular repair.
Whole-Body Cryotherapy + Contrast Therapy + Red Light Therapy (₹7,499)
The most comprehensive recovery session at VAURA. Cryotherapy triggers the systemic nervous system response. Contrast therapy drives circulation. Red light therapy completes the session with cellular level repair.
Alternating temperature exposure supports relaxation and recovery mode by helping regulate stress responses and promoting a calm, balanced nervous system.
Contrast therapy helps activate relaxation responses by guiding the nervous system out of stress mode, supporting calm recovery through controlled hot and cold exposure.
Hot and cold therapy supports nervous system regulation by encouraging stress response balance, helping the body unwind and reset after physical or mental strain.
At VAURA, contrast sessions promote an overall sense of calm and balance by supporting nervous system recovery through structured temperature transitions.
01. Book: Select Contrast Therapy or a combination session online. First-time visitors complete a brief health screening in person on arrival.
02. Arrive: Check in at reception. Staff will explain the session structure, the number of cycles,and guide you through what to expect before you begin.
03. Experience: Alternate between cold and warm environments in guided cycles. Staff
manage all timing and transitions.The cold is bracing but brief. The warmth is deep and
restorative. Each cycle builds on the previous one.
04. Recover: Use our recovery lounge to rehydrate and relax. Most guests describe feeling deeply relaxed, physically lighter, and mentally clear after their session.
Each session alternates between cold and warm environments in structured cycles. The cold is intense but brief, and the warmth is deep and soothing. Most guests find the alternation invigorating rather than uncomfortable.
Contrast therapy structures the alternation between specific temperatures in timed cycles, creating a vascular pumping effect that a single temperature exposure cannot achieve. The guided sequence and multiple cycles deliver significantly greater recovery benefits than either alone.
