Sauna health benefits

Cardiovascular health

Sauna use is widely recognised to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as releasing endorphins that make us feel happy!

Promotes relaxation

Cortisol, the stress hormone, is reduced when using the sauna – helping to alleviate stress and anxiety, and improve your mood.

Respiratory tract health

Sauna use may promote respiratory tract health by helping to humidify the airways and reduce airway inflammation. This can help reduce your chances of catching a cold or other respiratory infection.

Helps to ease pain

The increase in body temperature in a sauna helps to relax muscles and improve circulation, which reduces pain sensations.

Reduce inflammation

Especially in conjunction with cold water, sauna use can reduce inflammation, which can help with conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches & back pain.

Social & fun

Social activities can promote mental wellbeing and most importantly sauna use can be great fun

Not convinced? We aren’t medical professionals, but the people who wrote this paper entitled Cardiovascular and Other Health Benefits of Sauna Bathing: A Review of the Evidence certainly are. Then there’s What to Know About Saunas and Your Health from WebMD, and Let’s talk sauna and mental wellbeing from the British Sauna Society. And of course there’s plenty of other information on the Internet for you to search for.
