Sauna health benefits

---

  Saunas reduce stress and improve overall health, wellness and performance. Not surprisingly, sauna bathers most frequently cite stress reduction as the number one benefit of sauna use.

  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 (4-7times per week) at 80° C for 15-20 minutes lowered the risk for both Alzheimer’s & Dementia.

  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.

  Research shows the slow, waning effect of declining endorphins after a sauna can help you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.

  Saunas relax muscles and soothe aches/pains in both muscles and joints. Under the high heat provided by a sauna, the body releases endorphins that can have a mild, enjoyable “tranquilizing effect” and the ability to minimize the pain of joint and muscle soreness from an intense physical workout.

  When the body sweats, skin is cleansed and dead skin cells are replaced - keeping your skin in good working condition.
