Why is the sauna good for you?

Health benefits of sauna

Saunas have been an essence in many cultures around the world for centuries, and for good reason. The heat of a sauna stimulates blood circulation, which helps remove waste products from your body. When your body sweats in the high temperatures of an outdoor sauna, not only is your skin cleansed, but your immune system gets a boost. Regular sauna sessions can lead to a lower risk of high blood pressure, less sore muscles and improved lung function. Read more about the health benefits of saunas in our blog on health.

How often going to the sauna is good for you?

How often you can use the sauna depends on your personal preferences and health status. Generally, it is recommended to have sauna sessions two to three times a week for optimal health benefits. In this, of course, it is always important to listen to your body. Start with a shorter session at a lower temperature and build up slowly.

Is sauna good for your skin?

Absolutely! The sweat production in a sauna helps remove impurities and dead skin cells, making your skin softer and healthier. The increased blood circulation also promotes better oxygen and nutrient supply to your skin, which could help repair and prevent acne. Regular sauna visits can therefore have a positive effect on the overall appearance of your skin.
