Benefits of sauna bathing
For centuries, the Finnish people have known sauna improved their health. Now, numerous medical studies prove the health & wellness benefits of sauna: from cardiovascular and brain health to faster recovery after workouts.
As core body temperature rises, cardiac output increases. When we cool off again, the heart rate drops, giving our hearts a healthy workout that improves performance and helps the body’s regulatory system.
A 3-month study of bi-weekly sauna use showed reduced occurrence of high blood pressure.
A 20-year study conducted with more than 2,300 participants at the University of Eastern Finland by Dr. Jari Laukkanen and his colleagues revealed regular sauna use (4-7 times per week) at 176 degrees F for 19 minutes lowered the risk for both Alzheimer’s & Dementia.
The heat from the sauna stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s all natural “feel good” chemical, and their release provides a truly wonderful “after sauna glow.”
Heat-stimulated endorphins can have a tranquilizing effect, minimizing muscle pain and soreness. Heat also increases blood flow, speeding up the body’s natural healing process.
Deep sweating in a sauna can help reduce levels of lead, copper, zinc, nickel, mercury and chemical - toxins commonly absorbed just from interacting with our daily environments.
When the body sweats, skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are replaced - keeping your skin in good working condition.
Research shows the slow, waning effect of declining endorphins after a sauna can help you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.
