Sauna Benefits
General Health – Saunas are known to improve the overall health. It is not surprising that saunas were once used as places to birth and as hospitals. The hot steam from the sauna contributes to getting rid of viruses and bacteria.
Heart Health – Saunas are known to relax and reduce stress, It is a well known fact that stress is a major cause of heart issues. The heating of our bodies in the saunas increases the dilation of blood vessels near the skin, therefore increases the blood circulation.
Post Workout – hot steam from the saunas reduces aches and pains and relaxes the muscles. The heat produced helps in releasing endorphins that contributes to minimising pain. The heat also helps in reducing the muscle tensions that may be created during intense workout sessions.
Flush Toxins – As the body temperature raises, our skin ducts start producing more sweat to help the body cool. As we sweat the excess amount of toxins in our body are expelled effectively reducing the level of mercury, lead, zinc and other toxic substances.
Relax the Mind – Saunas experiences can be calming, even spiritual when done right. Even a single sauna session can greatly help in relaxing not just the body, but also the mind. Saunas also help you sleep better and deeper. Saunas are also known to help in stress relief
Fitness – Sweating is known to burn calories. Apart from flushing out the toxins and giving a natural glow to the skin, sauna also helps in burning calories. A moderately built person can sweat off up to 500 gms in a single sauna session
