Sauna for Your Wellbeing:
Prioritizing Self Care
Health Benefits of a Regular Sauna Practice:
-
Saunas can improve heart function, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
-
Many of the health benefits of a sauna come from removing toxins, dead skin and other products of everyday life that otherwise might not get expelled as readily from your system (often called a detox).
-
The increased circulation in a sauna can help with muscle soreness, joint movement, and arthritis pain.
-
The heat from a sauna can help relax muscles and relieve pain.
-
The increased heart rate and sweat production from a sauna can help you burn calories.
-
The heat from a sauna can activate your immune system and help fight infection.
-
Sweating in a sauna opens up your pores, which flushes bacteria and dead skin cells from your skin, leaving your skin glowing and feeling softer.
-
Using a sauna consistently can help you produce more melatonin, which can lead to deeper and more restorative sleep.
-
Saunas can provide a place to relax and decompress from the day.
-
Saunas can boost brain health and activate heat shock proteins, which may reduce the risk of neurodegenerative disorders like dementia.
