Stress reduction

Immunity

Regular sauna use can help reduce the number of times you get sick with the common cold. 

Muscle recovery

The heat from a sauna can help bring nutrients and oxygen to your muscles, which can help them relax and recover.

Pain relief

Saunas can help relieve pain from conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and low back pain. The heat from a sauna can improve circulation, which can help reduce muscle soreness and improve joint movement.

Sleep

Saunas can help you sleep deeper and more restfully by increasing your production of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone
