The Positive Effects of Consistent Sauna Treatment

Sauna makes you happier

Stress-related diseases, mental health and depression fatigue are major and growing problems affecting both individuals and societies. As the prescription of antidepressants increases so does our interest in alternative ways to affect our health and mood.

Research has found that regular sauna bathing actually has measurable positive effects on endorphin levels in our blood. The heat from the sauna stimulates the body to release serotonin which regulates the level of cortisol in the blood. Cortisol is the hormone that is released when we’re stressed.  High levels of cortisol can lead to a number of health issues such as problems with the immune system and sleeping issues.

Saunas can boost the immune system and significantly reduce the risk of catching common colds and the flu. Heat exposure can stimulate improved blood circulation and boost the production of white blood cells that help in the body’s defense against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders.

Beauty benefits of sauna bathing

Regular sauna sessions can give your skin a more youthful appearance, cleansing the pores and improving circulation while stimulating the production of collagen. One session in the sauna might not have a lot of impact, but if you turn regular sauna baths into a habit you will soon see a difference in your complexion.

Steam baths can also improve your quality of sleep. By raising your body temperature in the sauna just before it is time to go to bed, your heated body will automatically work to readjust its temperature afterward. It is this cooling-down and normalizing after the sauna bath that will lull you off to sleep, leaving you calm and relaxed enough to sleep soundly through the night. A good night’s sleep helps the body repair cellular damage, leaving your body energized for the next day.

Optimize your exercise with sauna

Improve muscular growth and endurance by increasing your body temperature regularly. When your body is subjected to heat, it gradually becomes used to it, which prompts a number of beneficial changes in your body. One of them is an increased plasma volume and blood flow to your heart and muscles, which gives both an increase in athletic endurance and increased muscle mass. Heat also helps you burn calories since the high temperature stimulates the calorie burn in the same way as when the body temperature is raised through physical activity.

Professional Wellness at your doorstep

With temperatures ranging from 167 – 194 °F and humidity at  5–15%, you can enjoy the traditional Scandinavian way of sauna bathing without leaving home. Let the pores on your skin open and perspiration act as a natural cooler while cleansing your skin. The heat from the sauna causes the body to release endorphins and other ‘feel good’ chemicals that counteract the harmful hormones caused by stress, bringing total relaxation to the body. You can also enhance your own home spa session by adding fragrant scents, herbs and minerals to increase the healing properties of the sauna bath.
