What are some health benefits to using a sauna?
Relives stress
Using a sauna helps to reduce stress. We have stress in our lives which happens everyday. This can affect our health in adverse ways. Believe it or not, a lot of diseases which are now in the world today are related to stress. A sauna is a nice place that is warm and quiet, void of any distraction. The heat from the sauna helps your body to relax, improving the blood flow in your body and your body releases endorphins. Endorphins are the body's way of helping you to relax.
Relaxes muscles, relives muscle and joint pain
When endorphins get released in the body, it can have an affect on where you fel pain. Endorphins help to relieve pain from arthritis. Or, if you have recently worked out and are having muscle soreness, endorphins will help to relieve these as well.
The heat from the sauna will also cause blood flow and circulation to increase throughout the body. Blood vessels will dilate and circulation and blood flow starts to increase. This increased blood flow makes the body's healing process accelerate, which relieves aches, pains and causes cuts and bruises to heal faster.
Flushes toxins
Sometimes, we don't always sweat on a day to day basis. Sweating, believe it or not, is essential to flushing toxins from our bodies. Deep sweating (what happens in a sauna) provides some benefits which we may not see in our everyday activities, because we don't sweat as profusely at that time.
While sitting in a sauna, the core body temperature begins to increase. When the core temperature of the body increases, it influences healing properties and tells the body to heal faster. With the core temperature of the body continuing to rise, the body enters a "deep sweat" which pushes toxins out through the pores. Using a sauna often will mean that the body is detoxifying often, and this can lead to other benefits such as weight loss if you are working out, exercising and eating properly.
