In today’s world, many of us have sedentary jobs and don’t perspire regularly. A great deal of medical studies show that perspiration has incredible health benefits. Regular sauna use will provide you the benefits that come only from a deep sweat.

As you enjoy the luxurious heat of a sauna, your core body temperature will start to rise, bloods vessel dilating, causing increased circulation. As heat from the blood migrates toward the skin surfaces and your core temperature rises, the body’s nervous system sends signals to the millions of perspiration glands covering the body. As the glands are stimulated they produce sweat. Sweat production is primarily for the cooling of the body, and is composed mostly of water—but deep sweating in a sauna can help reduce levels of lead, copper, zinc, nickel and mercury—all toxins commonly picked up from our environment.

At the same time, skin is cleansed and dead cells are replaced, keeping your skin in good working condition.

Sweat rinses bacteria out of the epidermal layer and sweat ducts. Cleansing of the pores improves the capillary circulation and gives the skin a soft, beautiful appearance.

Whether you use a sauna for the health benefit, as a social haven with friends, or simply as a place to relax, all seem to agree, a sauna has many restorative benefits.
