Health Benefits of Sauna Use
Cardiovascular Health
Sauna is like exercise for your heart. It's known to lower the risk of heart issues and strokes. Using the sauna 2-3 times a week reduces the chance of a heart issue by 27%. Using it 4-7 times a week lowers the risk by 50%. Your heart's well-being matters.
Immune System
While sauna use may not be a direct immune booster, its stress reducing effects and inflammation-lowering properties create a favourable environment for your immune system to function optimally. Sauna usage has been demonstrated to lower the levels of circulating inflammatory markers in the body. These markers can disrupt the proper functioning of your immune response. By reducing inflammation, sauna sessions provide a supportive environment for your immune system to operate at its best.
Respiratory Disease
Sauna use decreases the likelihood of getting a cold and additionally reduces symptoms associated with asthma and pneumonia.
Mental Health
Sauna use boosts mood and improves sleep quality. It lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and reduces anxiety. Using a sauna regularly releases happy chemicals that boost your mood.
Sports Recovery & Pain Relief
Sauna use offers exceptional benefits for sports recovery. Heat stimulates blood circulation, which reduces inflammation and swelling. By incorporating regular sauna sessions into a recovery routine, muscle soreness, and fatigue are reduced.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s
People who used saunas 4-7 times a week were found to be 66% less likely to suffer from dementia and 65% less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's.
