A caldarium (also called a calidarium, cella caldaria or cella coctilium) was a room with a hot plunge bath, used in a Roman bath complex.

This was a very hot and steamy room heated by a hypocaust, an underfloor heating system. This was the hottest room in the regular sequence of bathing rooms; after the caldarium, bathers would progress back through the tepidarium to the frigidarium.

In the caldarium, there would be a bath (alveus, piscina calida or solium) of hot water sunk into the floor and there was sometimes even a laconicum—a hot, dry area for inducing sweating.

The bath's patrons would use olive oil to cleanse themselves by applying it to their bodies and using a strigil to remove the excess. This was sometimes left on the floor for the slaves to pick up or put back in the pot for the women to use for their hair.

CRYOTHERAPY CENTRE
A process known as `kinesitherapy‘. The extremes of temperature stimulate natural production of enzymes and hormones to kick start the body’s healing and regeneration process.

 

CryoTherapy : How does it work?
During the procedure the body temperature drops only about 0.5 ° C while skin temperature by around 3 ° C. Exposure to extreme cold conditions encourages the nerve endings to respond, increasing hormone production and metabolism and reducing the sensation of pain. The process stimulates the release the body’s own corticosteroids in the quantities necessary to eliminate the inflammatory processes and stimulate pain inhibitors that include `happy‘ hormones, including endorphins, adrenaline, testosterone and many others.
