SAUNA

What are the benefits of a sauna?

Improved heart health 

A lot of research suggests that regular sauna bathing can benefit the heart and cardiovascular system. This is likely because of the way a sauna can affect the cells, arteries, and nervous system, which can all affect heart health. 

​

Improvement in blood pressure

Even though a sauna session will temporarily increase heart rate and blood pressure (like during an exercise session), research shows a long-term benefit for blood pressure. 

In people with hypertension, saunas can help reduce blood pressure. And for people without hypertension, it can also lower their risk of developing hypertension later in life.

Lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease

Regular sauna use may lower your risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. One study showed that men who use the sauna four to seven times a week reduced their risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s by over half. 

Recovery for sore muscles

The heat from the sauna can release a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which helps heal muscles. The heat also increases blood flow to your muscles, which can help in recovery. 

Stress reduction and fewer depressive symptoms

Sauna use can result in overall stress reduction. There’s even evidence to suggest it can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. People with depression who use a sauna regularly may notice increases in appetite and relaxation.
