WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS...
A large observational study conducted in 2018 indicated that regular sauna bathing of 4-7 times per week is associated with:
- 66% reduction for Dementia
- 65% reduction in Alzheimer’s disease
- 63% reduction of cardiovascular death
- 40% reduction all-cause mortality
The most established clinical benefits of sauna bathing are associated with cardiovascular-related diseases but strong evidence suggests that saunas also benefit people with rheumatological diseases including:
- Fibromyalgia
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
Regular sauna use has profound physiological and psychological benefits which reduce or eliminate:
- chronic fatigue
- pain syndromes
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- allergic rhinitis
The overall psychological impact achieved through regular sauna bathing is due to:
- Release of Endorphins (body-natural pain reliever)
- Release of Dynorphins (functions are related to learning and memory, emotional control, stress response and pain)
- Forced mindfulness
- Psychological stress reduction
- Relaxation
- Improved sleep
- Time out from busy life schedules
- Social interaction around frequent sauna activity
Sauna Bathing and our Immune System:
- Heat is one of oldest forms of microbial control and still remains one of the most common methods for controlling and eradicating pathogens.
- Epidemiological evidence further suggests that frequent sauna bathing is associated with a reduced risk of pneumonia and viral infection.
- Enveloped viruses such as SAR-CoV-2 (Covid-19) are sensitive to heat and are destroyed by temperatures achieved in our traditional saunas.
- Inducing mild heat-stress can be used to mimic fever and activate immune defenses.
- Traditional practice of alternating heat with exposure to cold may translate into greater resistance to viral infections.
- The temperature within our saunas makes risk of cross infection in public sauna facilities highly unlikely.
- The temperatures achieved within our saunas are well within the range required for pathogen control.
