In the hustle and bustle of daily life, the body and mind are constantly faced with movement. Long meetings, housework, hours that are spent in front of the screen or endless phone calls can increase stress levels and challenge the body's natural balance. This is where sauna stands out as an experience that provides you with a chance for renewal.
Sauna, a type of relaxation method, offers many benefits from removing toxins from the body to relaxing the muscles. While the body regains its natural balance with the effect of heat and steam, the mind calms down and reaches a clear clarity. If you wish, we can take a closer look at the benefits of saunas.
Sauna, which originated in Finland, is a relaxation method that has evolved over the centuries into special experiences such as the Russian steam bath and the Turkish bath in different cultures. It is possible to say that sauna, which was initially carried out in wooden-covered rooms, was reinterpreted with modern lines in later periods and took on a form that appealed to different needs.
Sauna allows you to relax not only physically but also mentally. However, the type of sauna that is suitable for each person might be different. When that is the case, you can choose a sauna type that suits your health condition, heat tolerance and comfort expectations. If you are going to have this experience for the first time, consulting a specialist beforehand might be a good start.
There is more than one type of sauna you can experience. For example, in a dry sauna, the environment is heated to 70 to 90 degrees with electric or wood stoves. High heat and low humidity provide intense sweating. In a steam room, the humidity of the environment is increased by using water vapor. The temperature is usually between 40 and 50 degrees, but the perceived temperature is much higher due to the high humidity. Infrared saunas, unlike other types of saunas, use infrared rays. This type of sauna also offers a more intense sweating experience at a lower temperature.
Sauna stands out with its many benefits that support general health. Some of the benefits of this special experience, which is good for both the body and the mind, can be listed as follows:
In a sauna or steam room, sweating increases due to the effect of heat. In this way, harmful or waste materials accumulated in the body are removed from the body. In addition to eliminating toxins from the body, sauna also supports the moisture balance of the skin and contributes to a more vibrant and healthy appearance. During sweating, the pores open and the oil, dirt and dead cells accumulated in the pores are expelled. In this way, your skin can have a smoother and more vibrant appearance. You can also completely cleanse the remaining dead cells from the skin with a short shower after the sauna.
Sauna helps muscles to relax. As a result, tension in the muscles can decrease and pain can be relieved. When your body needs to relax, you can enter the sauna and relieve your pain with the help of high heat and steam and feel more calm. Since the amount of electrolytes in your body may decrease with sweating, you can balance this loss with mineral water or herbal tea if you wish.
According to research, regular sauna use increases the blood circulation and regulates blood pressure. In this way, more oxygen and nutrients can reach the organs, muscles and skin cells. It is also possible to say that these studies support the positive effects of sauna on heart health. It is recommended to use the sauna 4 to 7 times a week for heart health.
If you are going to try a sauna for the first time, you can prefer short sessions of 10-15 minutes in the beginning. Drinking water before and after the sauna helps maintain your body's fluid balance.
Sauna relaxes your body thanks to its warm environment and helps to lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels. Especially during periods when you are under intense stress, sauna can support your relaxation. High heat also stimulates the body and increases serotonin production. In this way, it also helps you feel more balanced.
As your body relaxes, your sleep quality might also increase. In addition, saunas can relax you not only physically but also mentally.
