Benefits of Sauna
Suddenly, that really bad day just took a heavenly turn
For some the sauna experience invites moments to bond, connect and socialise. For others it is a nurturing and intimate wellness pursuit. Whether shared or solitary, saunas bring a sense of luxury and well being into the madness of the modern day.
The physical benefits of sauna include
Relaxation and stress relief
The heat from the sauna relaxes the body’s muscles, improves circulation and stimulates the release of endorphins.
Blood circulation and muscle relaxation
Increases circulation, in a similar way to low to moderate exercise depending on the duration of sauna use.
Improved sleep
May help increase the length of REM cycles during sleep.
Skin health
Balancing pH which improves skin hydration and provides relief from skin diseases
Cardiovascular health
Reduces arterial stiffness, modulation of the autonomic nervous system, beneficial changes in circulating lipid profiles, and lowering of systemic blood pressure.
Sport and exercise recovery
Heat allows muscles to relax better, thus relieving muscle tension.
