Body Temperature Modulation

Meaning

Body Temperature Modulation is the clinical practice of intentionally adjusting the core body temperature or local skin temperature to elicit specific physiological responses, primarily for optimizing sleep, metabolic function, or recovery. This technique leverages the body’s natural thermoregulatory processes, which are intimately linked with circadian rhythm and hormonal secretion patterns. Effective modulation is a non-pharmacological tool used to enhance the body’s innate healing and homeostatic mechanisms.
