From every corner of the globe, people have used various forms of “saunas” for thousands of years in order to detoxify, relieve pain and stress, and treat various illnesses and conditions.

Sweating is a proven aid in the detoxification of the human body. An analysis of sweat shows that skin eliminates enough waste to actually lighten the elimination load of the liver and kidneys. Unfortunately, most people don’t sweat on a regular basis. Since the skin is the largest organ of the body, it is important for it to function properly and help with the elimination process. Sweating has become an important health aid, especially in today’s overly polluted environment

By raising your body’s temperature, you stimulate the circulatory system, stimulate the immune system, and enhance lymphatic circulation. At the same time you increase white blood cell and enzyme production.

Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology states that as the average person sweats, their metabolism accelerates with as much as 600 calories burned in 30 minutes. An accelerated metabolism assists in the breakdown of cellulite and fat. A sauna session is much like a work out session as it increases heart rate and improves cardiovascular function.

Saunas are very efficient at warming your muscles and joints effectively shortening recovery time for sore muscles or injuries. A sauna reduces pain and promotes healing from physical injuries and arthritis because sweating increases oxygen supply to the blood, and accelerates waste removal. Saunas deeply cleanse and tone the skin, improving its complexion and elasticity.
