How can you use heat therapy to improve your physical and mental health?

We’ve talked a lot on this show about the therapeutic benefits of cold therapy. But what about the opposite? Can you use heat therapy to help improve not just your physical and mental health, but your memory, sleep, and overall cognitive performance?

She’s also the author of the book, Winter Swimming: The Nordic Way Towards a Healthier and Happier Life.
