The Science of Sauna
“But what actually happens inside our bodies during those hot moments?”
Studies indeed show that frequent sauna bathing has many health benefits – for the body as well as the mind. The almost spiritual indications of the past have slowly been replaced with scientific ones. Study teams led by cardiologist Jari Laukkanen have discovered that increased frequency of sauna bathing is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality (source). 2 to 3 times a week in a sauna reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases by more than 20% when compared to people who use the sauna once a week. Using it more frequently can reduce the risk even up to 65%.
In addition to cardiovascular diseases, people with ailments such as dementia, hypertonia, pulmonary diseases, strokes and different psychic conditions have been shown to benefit from increased minutes in the sauna. On the other hand, as our body is a holistic entity, much of sauna’s health potential actually comes from indirect sources.
Studies have shown that we sleep better and more deeply after sauna. The social implications could be even more evident. Meetings in mutual nakedness let us be more truly ourselves and connect with each other on a deeper level, even among perfect strangers. In the middle of constant digitalised bombardment of information, the offline environment of sauna works as a perfect antidote for stress. A more relaxed existence can in itself add years to your life.
So be it electric or wood-warmed, infrared, steam or smoke sauna, let’s take advantage of its health benefits. But with Covid still in the air, we should bathe safely in limited company and take all the needed precautions.
