		<description>There is no mistake on this article. -110 Celsius is correct, my wife went there and says it´s fantastic. You have to wear shoes, gloves and a hat of course, but you won´t die trying. :)

		<description>Hi Tee

I know it sounds unbelievable but the figures are correct.  They don&#039;t appear to mention the cryotherapy on their website at all (at least not on the English version that I could see).

However, have a read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryotherapy - there you will notice it states:

Cryogenic chamber therapy is a treatment whereby the patient is placed in a cryogenic chamber for a short duration (i.e. no more than three minutes, which is comparable to ice swimming), and if used properly, will not destroy tissue... The chamber is cooled, typically with liquid nitrogen, to a temperature of âˆ’110 Â°C (âˆ’166.0 Â°F). The patient is protected from acute frostbite with socks, gloves and mouth and ear protection, but in addition to that, wears nothing but a bathing suit. The patient spends a few minutes in the chamber. During treatment the average skin temperature drops to 12 Â°C (54 Â°F), while the coldest skin temperature can be 5 Â°C (41 Â°F). The core body temperature remains unchanged during the treatment, however it may drop slightly afterwards. Therapy triggers the release of endorphines which induce analgesia (immediate pain relief).

Also see this article at http://www.mywire.com/a/Newsweek/Frozen-Smooth/13099019/ which makes specific reference to both the temperatures and to Hotel Haikko Manor and Spa.</description>

		<description>I think you need to check your Fahrenheits and Centrigrades on teh Finnish Haikko Spa article. -110C would kill anyone. Even -30C seems like a lot. I saw nothing under -10C on their website.</description>
