Although saunas offer a therapeutic experience, some do more, while the heat is released. In the traditional sauna with wood heating, gas or electricity, the steam “out” by the stones in the oven and spread in the room. The heat increases the heart rate, dilation of blood vessels and improves circulation.
Because of the high temperatures, the person begins to sweat and eliminate toxins from the body (as in a session of cardio). Add some ‘lavender or eucalyptus and suddenly you feel the benefits of aromatherapy. You can relax more and you may feel better immediately.
Other advantages of infrared saunas, which use the natural heat to penetrate deep into the skin faster than hot air in the room. Because they operate at lower temperatures, breathing is less difficult.
This heat accelerates the heart rate and metabolism so you lose pounds while you relax. Many people go to saunas to burn excess calories. In addition, the muscles will relax and the body. And that could help a lot, after a hard work and will help you get rid of pain or injury.
Of course, we must not forget the benefits of sauna on skin: you are free of dust and chemicals from the pores and dead skin cells are exfoliated. The treatment may be similar to that for treating acne and blemishes.
But we still have to learn about sauna. Further studies should be conducted to show its benefits, especially in the infrared. The popularity (along with the ability to afford the sessions) is increasing. The main idea is to experience – book a session and you will feel much better. The feeling of euphoria that can be caused by the steam can be so intense that you’ll wonder why you have not done before!
