SAUNA IS GREAT AT RELIEVING STRESS.

High daily stress levels put a constant strain on the body's nervous system. Many studies have documented the negative effect prolonged stress can have on our overall health and wellness.

Scientific studies of the university hospital Charité in Berlin prove clearly that having a sauna strengthens the immune system, enhances and stabilizes the blood circulation. US Studies have shown that people who go to sauna at least twice a week for 10-30minutes are less stressed after work than others with similar jobs who do not go to saunas.

How do saunas reduce stress?

Sauna therapy provides a relaxing, safe and comfortable atmosphere for stress relief. There are actually two ways it can release stress. First way is the natural relaxing feeling you get in the sauna. In both wet and dry sauna you will feel this. Your heart will start to beat a little harder and you'll quickly notice an increase of body circulation to the skin and around your body. The second reason is because the increased circulation and heat to our skin causes more chemicals to be released when we start to sweat. These chemicals build up during the day, weeks, months, years of stress and are released in sauna and their production is slowed down.

A few minutes in the gentle warmth of a sauna reduces stress and fatigue by providing an overall massaging effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles. The saunas help to reduce physical stress by triggering the production of endorphins, the "feel good" hormones. This stress relief technique has a warm soothing effect and will provide an immediate benefit to tightened and knotted muscles, leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Massage therapists often use heat treatments for natural stress relief before a massage, for the overall relaxing effect it has on clients. Relaxed muscle tissue let the therapist do a more thorough and effective massage.

Sauna therapy is natural for stress relief reducing physiological and mental/emotional stress. The most immediate and noticeable effect is tremendous relaxation; it alone can have a profound impact on your health.
