You might have heard about Hailey Bieber's cold therapy which was all over the social media a few months before. The American model had shared that cryotherapy or exposing the skin to extremely low temperature is a part of her health routine. Sounds exciting, right?
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures, typically between -80°C to -110°C (-166°F to -220°F), for a short duration, usually 2-4 minutes.

Japanese rheumatologist Toshima Yamaguchi started this trend and then it was introduced to Europe, US and Australia later.
