Breathwork is a practice that uses intentional breathing techniques to influence your physical, emotional, and mental state. By adjusting the rhythm, depth, and pattern of your breath, you can activate your parasympathetic nervous system (for relaxation) or your sympathetic nervous system (for energy and focus). The Detox House App offers guided breathwork sessions designed for regulation, release, and expansion.

Breathwork can help:

• Reduce stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system.

• Increase focus and mental clarity.

• Process and release stored emotions.

• Improve lung capacity and oxygenation of the body.

• Promote a sense of deep connection and well-being.

Breathwork is a powerful tool for regulating your nervous system and connecting your mind and body. It’s also a great complement to therapy, coaching, and fitness routines.

A cold plunge involves immersing your body in cold water, typically between 37°F–59°F (3°C–15°C). This practice activates the body’s natural stress response, which, over time, builds resilience and strengthens your nervous system.

Benefits include:

• Improved circulation and reduced inflammation.

• Enhanced focus and energy through norepinephrine release.

• Strengthened immune system.

• Accelerated muscle recovery after exercise.

• Boosted mood through endorphin release.

The Detox House App includes guided cold plunge sessions to help you maximize these benefits.

For most people, cold plunge water should be between 37°F and 59°F (3°C–15°C). Beginners may start at the higher end of this range and gradually lower the temperature as they become more comfortable. Always listen to your body and take breaks if needed.

Most people can benefit from cold plunging, but it’s important to proceed with caution, especially if:

• You have a heart condition or high blood pressure.

• You are pregnant.

• You have Raynaud’s disease or other conditions affecting circulation.

Always consult your doctor if you’re unsure about whether cold plunging is right for you.

While these modalities are generally safe, certain individuals should consult with a healthcare professional before practicing:

• Breathwork: Avoid if you’re pregnant, have severe asthma, epilepsy, or a history of cardiovascular issues.

• Sauna: Avoid if you’re pregnant, have low blood pressure, or a history of heat sensitivity.

• Cold Plunge: Avoid if you have heart conditions, circulatory issues, or are pregnant.

The Detox House App includes safety tips to help you practice mindfully and safely.

For most people, the ideal sauna temperature ranges between 160°F–190°F (70°C–88°C). Sauna sessions typically last 15–30 minutes, depending on your experience level and tolerance. Beginners should start with shorter sessions and gradually build up over time.

The Detox House App can guide you through sauna practices, incorporating breathwork for an enhanced experience.

• Sauna: 3–5 times per week for 15–30 minutes is ideal for most people.

• Cold Plunge: 2–3 times per week, or after workouts, is effective. Sessions can be as short as 2–5 minutes.

• Breathwork: Daily practice is recommended, with sessions ranging from 5–20 minutes depending on your goals.

The Detox House App helps you integrate these practices into your daily routine for maximum benefit.
