Immune system

The immune system protects the body from infections, viruses and other foreign agents. It is made up of organs, cells and molecules that work together. Its work is affected by sleep, nutrition, stress levels and physical activity.

What supports immunity

• Good sleep. It is at night that the body restores its defences.
• A varied diet. Vegetables, fruit, greens, whole grains and pulses provide vitamins and trace elements.
• Moderate movement. Regular walking supports overall tone and circulation.
• Light and fresh air. Enough daylight helps the body produce vitamin D.
• Less stress. Long-term tension weakens the body's resistance.

Hardening

Gradually getting used to changes in temperature trains the blood vessels and can increase resistance to colds. Contrast water procedures help with this if you start with mild temperatures, take your time and keep at it regularly. Sudden cooling without preparation can do harm.

Procedures at the centre

The lymphatic drainage bandage wrap supports the flow of lymph, which plays a part in the body's defences. The cold cryo wrap tones the blood vessels. Procedures like these support overall health, but they do not replace medical treatment or vaccination.

During active infections or acute inflammation some procedures are not carried out, so it is important to tell us in good time how you are feeling.

What to avoid

Do not expect any single procedure or supplement to strengthen your immunity overnight. It depends on a whole set of habits, and results come gradually. It is also best not to overload yourself with excessive training or sudden cold.

Before any procedures, we recommend talking to a specialist at the centre, as contraindications are checked during the consultation.
