Health Benefits of Sauna Use
Cardiovascular Health
Regular sauna use is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular disease, lowered blood pressure and reduction in arterial stiffness. The heat experienced in the sauna mimics moderate exercise by accelerating heart rate, improving circulation and triggering the body to sweat.
Detoxification
Sauna use is an excellent way to supplement the body's process of expelling heavy metals and toxins. Not only through sweating; increased circulation gently supports the liver and kidneys optimizing their function in detoxification.
Improved Mental Health
Using the sauna can positively impact mental health by improving depression, anxiety, and stress levels. Regular use can improve sleep quality, reduce systemic inflammation, normalize stress hormone levels, and induce endorphin release. Aside from the physiological effects, a sauna session is a wonderful way to relax and destimulate. Being hugged with the comfort of heat and steam, the gentle lighting, the intentional breathing… that is therapy in itself.
Skin Rejuvenation
Sauna bathing is a great way to improve your skin health. Enhanced circulation delivers nutrients and oxygen rich blood to the skin, reducing fine lines and boosting collagen production. Cellular repair is stimulated through the induction of heat shock proteins. Regular use can act as a natural cleansing mechanism helping to mobilize trapped impurities and dead skin cells from pores.
