| THE FINNISH LOVE THEIR SAUNAS Sauna & Steam Health Benefits |
| In Finland saunas are a way of life. In a country of roughly 5 million people you will find 1.7 million saunas. Think about it. There are enough saunas for the entire country to enjoy simultaneously! Have you ever wondered why Finns are among the healthiest and longest-lived people in the world? The Finns have a saying "Everybody who can walk to the sauna can use it." THE SAUNA -AN ALLY TO HEALTH The sauna is world-renowned for the good feeling it gives you. Scientific data shows that people who regularly use saunas get flu and colds ten times less than the average. Sauna is an excellent way to make our immune systems stronger by the use of hot, cold and humid stimulants. A natural reaction to the heat makes the blood vessels of our skin and muscles expand. Through perspiration, acid and waste are removed from our blood --increasing our kidney's ability to filter out impurities. After a few sessions your pores open up cleaning out impurities and acne-producing bacteria. Adolescents enjoy cleaner clearer skin as a result. A hot sauna with an alternating cold shower is the best thermo-massage for the blood vessels of our skin and muscles. This kind of therapy builds tolerance to weather changes. THE SAUNA AND WORKING-OUT The sauna can ease muscular and nervous tension in joints and muscles. Therefore many use the sauna as a relaxant. After a workout, the sauna is a good way to clear out built-up lactic acids. The sauna relaxes sore muscles as well as relieving stiffness. In a nutshell, the sauna is a great workout partner. SAUNA AND YOUR HEART Swiss doctors use saunas in the treatment of high blood pressure. 15 sauna sessions in most cases will take your blood pressure back down to normal. It has been proven that sauna aids in regulating our blood pressure --increasing, decreasing and stabilizing as necessary. If you have heart problems consult your physician prior to your sauna therapy. |
