So you get a little bit of hypoxia, a little bit of blood flow.
A little bit of hypoxia, a little bit of blood flow.
And they can do it for 20 or 40 or 60 minutes or however long you want.
It's basically simulated exercise.
A little bit of blood, a little bit low, a little bit back.
So blood flow, yes.
You will actually see really compelling evidence on water immersion.
Not only cold water.
I simply mean water immersion.
Yeah.
Totally.
But it's the orthostatic pressure that comes with being in fluid that will do the same thing.
This is many, again, one of the many reasons why I'm like, like sauna is not the only answer here.
It's great for a thousand things.
But the water itself is playing a little bit of a magic role.
And we know this because there have been trials where we've actually controlled for temperature and you still get those benefits of just being in that fluid environment.
So if you can do that, you can, gravity changes in the equation, things can move in and out of tissue.
And there's actually pressure that comes from being in the water.
It's a low level pressure that smashes up against your tissue.
Now, if you want to change temperature and you get some of those other benefits, that's great too.
