Healthy for the heart
A scientific paper from Finland provides evidence that sauna bathing may have cardiovascular benefits, and that regular use may reduce cardiovascular events.
Get a great night’s sleep
An Australian study demonstrated that wellbeing effects linked to regular sauna bathing could include: relaxation, stress relief, improved sleep, and potential mental health benefits.
A relaxing way to end your workout
Did you know that regular use of the sauna has been said to improve athletic performance? Saunas are a great recovery tool because they can help loosen muscle tension and ease pain. They can also leave you feeling energised when you step out.
If you would like to use the sauna to elevate your workout routine, please remember to focus on hydration as it is important to combat the loss of fluids through sweat.
