Home Sauna Facts – An ancient treat that's 1000s of years old

The ancient Mayans built their own sauna-like sweat houses 3,000 years ago. In Scandinavia the Finnish people have been using saunas for thousands of years, and a third of Fins still enjoy regular sauna sessions as part of a healthy everyday lifestyle. Traditional Finnish saunas are all about dry heat, with a relative humidity somewhere between 10 – 20%, while Turkish saunas are more humid. The USA alone is home to more than a million saunas. With an optimal temperature of anything from 70 to 100 degrees, a sauna is renowned for delivering sheer relaxation... and there's more. 

We all know a sauna makes you feel fantastic. But what about the medical benefits? The experience can boost your skin's temperature to 40° C, increase your heart rate to 100-150 beats a minute, and widen your blood vessels in much the same way as exercise. This has been known to ease pain, cut stress, and improve the health of your cardiovascular system. It can ease psoriasis, help with asthma and - just maybe – reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's. And in 2011 one study revealed how saunas can heal your mood by increasing production of the 'happiness molecule', serotonin. How cool is that?
