benefits of owning a sauna
One App,
Many Uses
-
Sauna bathing, an activity that has been a tradition in Finland for thousands of years and mainly used for the purposes of pleasure and relaxation, is becoming increasingly popular in many other populations.
-
Emerging evidence suggests that beyond its use for pleasure, sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive diseases; nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases; mortality; as well as amelioration of conditions such as arthritis, headache, and flu.
Low Maintenance
Energy Saving
When owning a wood burning sauna you do not worry about your electricity bills increasing.
No Chemicals
Comparing to a hot tub, the cleaning procedures require more chemicals and chlorine. A Sauna does not require chlorine to be added or any water filter to be replaced.
No Winterizing
There is no winterizing needed. May it be winter or summer, a sauna is always ready to heat up!
Sweat out that Stress
-
There is also evidence that sauna exposure could boost the immune system, which may partly explain why sauna baths reduce susceptibility to common colds and prevent infections in healthy individuals.
-
The sauna is an excellent way to cleanse the body of toxins through perspiration. You will not get this same result in a hot tub because you will not sweat as much, especially on your face.
-
Furthermore, the effects of sauna bathing on vascular and nonvascular diseases may in part be mediated via reduced oxidative stress, as oxidative processes are known to be involved in the etiology of several disease conditions.
