HEALTH BENEFITS

The benefits of saunas and steambaths are widely reported. From relieving stress and soothing tired muscles to health improvements related to "induced fever" and detoxification. Here are some health benefits in greater detail.

PAIN RELIEF: Heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process.

WEIGHT CONTROL: Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water-soluble and the body sweats out fats and toxins.

EXERCISE: During a 10-20 minute sauna session, your heart rate increases by 50-75%. This provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise. The increased cardiac load is the equivalent to a brisk walk. There is a nominal effect on blood pressure because the heat also causes blood vessels in skin to expand to accommodate increased blood flow.

DETOXIFICATION: Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (lead, zinc, nickel) accumulate in the body during modern daily life. The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating. Heat therapy stimulates and speeds up the sweat glands that cleanse and detoxify the skin.

Some other benefits include reduced stress and a cleaner softer complexion.
