Hot and cold treatments were used to kill infection before we invented antibiotics. Not sure how pertinent that is to your experience, but it's the first thing

Hot and cold treatments were used to kill infection before we invented antibiotics.
Not sure how pertinent that is to your experience, but it's the first thing that comes to mind.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoYep, immunity strengthening is a nice bonus.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoWell, what I was actually thinking was that cold treatments could be killing off unrecognized, low-grade chronic infections and that may be leading to improved circulation and improved homeostasis. Feet are notorious for being impacted first and worst by any circulation (blood) problems, which is why diabetics sometimes lose one or both feet to it (have them amputated, cuz reasons). And oxygen is a known means to kill certain kinds of infections (a la HBOT for Gangrene).
- forgotmypw17 6y agoI think it's more likely a circulation workout. But, sure, anything is possible.
