In official medicine and cosmetology, a similar method is called cold treatment &#8211; cryotherapy. Cold water has been used since ancient times as a healing agent for the whole body. It is no secret that after a hot bath our ancestors jumped into an ice hole and wiped themselves with snow, although they did not yet know what cryotherapy is, indications and contraindications for it. Later, women began to notice the positive effects of cold on the preservation of youth and beauty. It is known that even Catherine II used pieces of ice for facial skin care.<\/p>\n<h2>History of occurrence and action<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-470360-63342de2bea7e.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-470360-63342de2bea7e.jpg\" alt=\"The history of cryotherapy and cold treatment methods\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cryotherapy method appeared at the end of the 20th century, when gases with record low temperatures began to be used instead of water.
