The Health Benefits

For centuries, cultures around the world have embraced the healing power of heat for purification and restoration. From the banyas of Russia and the hammams of Turkey to the sweat lodges of Indigenous Americans and most notably, the saunas of Finland, the tradition of using heat to cleanse and heal is deeply rooted in human history.

"Regular sauna use of at least 3 times per week has been shown to lower blood pressure and enhance cardiovascular and brain health."

A 25-year study conducted by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland discovered that regular sauna sessions reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and sudden cardiac death. In a more recent experimental study, they found that 30 minute sauna sessions significantly reduced blood pressure and improved vascular compliance, offering benefits similar to medium intensity workouts.

Important note

A quick heads-up: Whether you're diving into the sea or taking a cold shower, both offer fantastic health benefits but should be approached with caution.
