Sauna Health Benefits

1. Do it for yourself. Purify your body.

   A great way to relax from a pressure and stress filled day, is to bathe in a sauna for 15 to 30 minutes. This will relax your mind, rejuvenate your soul, and melt away those aches and pains. Your sweat glands eliminate a surprising amount of harmful toxins, as well as traces of alcohol, nicotine and cholesterol flowing through your bloodstream.

2. Cardiovascular Improvement

   Your body responds to the sauna’s dry heat by increasing blood circulation and perspiration, the same natural cooling mechanism used in exercise. A 10 minute sauna requires an elevated heart rate and cardiac output, and also metabolic rate, all contributing to cardiac fitness. Click here for more information on cardiovascular conditioning.

3. A Healthy Glow and Resistance to Disease

   Sauna bathing helps improve your skin tone by stimulating your epidermis, opening pores and increasing circulation near the skin’s surface. You gain that youthful, just-returned-from-vacation look. By increasing your circulation and oxygen flow — together with improving your overall level of wellness — the dry sauna heat helps your body strengthen its immune system required to fight colds, congestion and infection.
