Brrrrr.

One of the hottest trends in therapy right now is tricking your body into thinking it's dying.

I'm talking about cryotherapy - a procedure that involves standing in a chamber of up to -90 degrees Celsius for a couple of minutes (because any longer would literally kill you).

It produces a fight-or flight response in the body, and a huge rush of endorphins. The unconventional treatment is beloved by athletes and celebrities alike.
