    Contrast Baths

    I learned this ‘trick’ way back during massage school, in Hydrotherapy class. It has stood the test of time in effectiveness to remain one of my top favorite self care, at-home treatments! Contrast Baths! It works like this… Fill one kitchen sink with Ice Water, the other with comfortably Hot Water. Dunk your hands/forearms/elbows into the Ice Water as deeply as you can for as long as you can, up to 2 Minutes (this one’s intense, remember to breathe!). Then, switch to the Hot Water, dunking hands/forearms/elbows as deeply as you can and enjoy for at least 1 Minute, but no longer than 2 Minutes (even though it’s tempting sometimes).…
