BENEFITS

The Science Behind Sauna Bathing

Sauna bathing exposes your body to dry heat, typically between 65–90°C, triggering a series of physiological responses that enhance overall health.

Increases Circulation: The heat elevates your heart rate, improving blood flow, supporting cardiovascular health - much like moderate exercise.

Relaxes Muscles and Joints: Deep heat penetrates muscles, relieving tension, reducing inflammation, and easing joint pain.

Skin Health: Sweating cleanses pores and promotes a radiant complexion.

Muscle Recovery: The warm, calming heat not only helps you to unwind and relax, it can help to reduce soreness and speed up muscle recovery. 

Relieves Aches and Pains: Ideal for easing tension in muscles and joints.

Enhances Sleep: Prepares your body for deeper, more restful sleep by promoting relaxation.

Cardiovascular Health: Reduces blood pressure, lowers stroke risk, and improves heart function.

Chronic Pain: Soothes arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back pain.

Respiratory Issues: Sauna steam can open airways, reducing asthma and bronchitis symptoms.

Skin Health: Enhances blood flow, improves skin tone, and reduces acne.

Mental Wellness: Reduces stress, improves sleep, and alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Athletic Recovery: Reduces soreness and fatigue after intense workouts.

Immune Boost: May decrease the frequency of colds and illnesses.

The Science Behind Contrast Therapy - why Sauna and Cold Plunge work best together

Contrast therapy alternates between hot (sauna) and cold (plunge) temperatures, creating a unique cycle that amplifies the benefits of both therapies. By combining sauna bathing and contrast therapy, you can experience the ultimate wellness transformation. Together, they:

Enhance Detoxification

The sauna opens pores, while the cold plunge flushes out toxins.

Maximize Circulation

Alternating temperatures optimize blood flow, improving heart health.
