Sauna Benefits
“Going to the sauna enables us to connect more deeply with people around us. In fact, one study even claims that men who sweat together are more likely to co-operate together afterwards.” In today’s world, many people are missing their ‘third space’. Sauna is a wonderful way to share stories, make connections, and build friendships. Often sauna socializing continues outside the sauna with a beer and a cold plunge. What a healthy, happy way to enjoy the company of others.
Social Connection
The high heat of sauna bathing relaxes muscles and can soothe our aches and pain. A sauna session after a workout can also reduce tension and eliminate lactic acids and other toxins. Sauna use can also help with tension-type headaches.
Muscle Recovery
Sauna bathing (and an increased heart rate) causes your blood vessels to open and increases circulation. Researchers suggest that saunas sessions may provide some cardiovascular conditioning because the high temperatures can drive heart rates to levels often achieved by moderate-intensity physical exercise. (Mayo) Regular sauna bathing reduce risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Heart Health
Sweating in a sauna is a good, clean kind of sweat. Sauna bathers love how soft and clean their skin feels after a sweaty session. When our skin begins to sweat, toxins are flushed, dead skill cells are replaced, collagen is produced and our skin glows. Regular sauna can help purify the body from the inside out, and that’s a great feeling! Read up here.
Skin Health
Research confirms that sauna sessions can produce a deeper, more relaxed sleep. Here’s how it works. Our heart rates and blood circulation increase while we sauna. After a sauna session, the brain tells the body it’s time to cool down. It’s during this time that melatonin is released and we start to enjoy a lovely sense of calm and sleepiness. Evening sauna sessions before bed have been shown to increase deep sleep within the first two hours by as much as 70%. Still can’t sleep? Try some scientific research.
Improved Sleep
Heat has the power to calm and the potential to heal. The quiet of a sauna, the swaddling of heat, the peaceful ambience is the perfect setting to rest your mind, listen to your breath, and settle into a peaceful, restorative moment all your own.
