Health Benefits of Sauna

The unique benefits of Sauna use have become increasingly popular in modern society, used for relaxation and socialising as well as for the treatment of disease. Saunas are used to eliminate toxins from the body, regulate body temperature and to invigorate the largest organ, the skin. The amount of fluid lost from the body can vary from 0.15 to 1.5 litres in a single treatment. When taken with dietary control and supporting treatments, such as massage, this can result in a reduction in body weight. By helping the body to perspire, it helps eliminate waste products and toxins through the skin. The heat helps to activate the two to three million sweat glands which are in the skin. If the muscles have been actively working, it also contains lactic acid, a toxin which causes tiredness. When sauna baths were used on persons ill for bacterially caused disease, the toxins thus created are rapidly eliminated through the skin, again helping overworked kidneys and reducing the risk of fluid retention. The end result of this process of elimination is that the skin itself is thoroughly cleared and left in a healthier more elastic state. This helps the body to relax. Heat helps the body and in particular the muscles to relax and this is aided by the removal through perspiration of toxic products. The combination of physical and psychological effect results in a deep sense of relaxation. The overall aim is relaxation without over-exertion or strain placed upon the heart and circulation to achieve this. The client should feel free from tension, but not exhausted by the routine; just gently sedated with a desire to rest. The overall benefit should be improved vigour and vitality plus freedom from muscular and nervous tension. A renewed capacity to deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life is also felt, sometimes described by clients as being recharged for the week ahead.
