Saunas have been used for centuries to encourage relaxation, rejuvenation and social connection. In recent years, scientific research has confirmed many of the health benefits of regular sauna use. In this article, we look at some of the main benefits supported by scientific data.
Better cardiovascular health
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that regular sauna use was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. Frequent use has also been shown to lower blood pressure, improve blood vessel function and increase heart rate variability — all of which contribute to better cardiovascular health.
Lower stress and anxiety
Sauna use has long been recognised as a way to encourage relaxation and reduce stress. A study in the International Journal of Stress Management found that regular use was associated with low cortisol levels — a hormone released in response to stress. Sauna use has also been shown to raise endorphin levels, the body's natural painkillers and mood lifters.
Better skin health
A study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that regular sauna use can boost collagen production — a protein essential for healthy skin — as well as increase blood flow to the skin, which can improve overall skin health and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Stronger immune system
According to a study in the Journal of Human Kinetics, frequent sauna use can increase white blood cell production — cells essential for fighting infection and disease — as well as improve immune function and increase the body's resistance to infection.
Pain relief
A study in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology found that regular sauna use can ease pain and stiffness in people with rheumatoid arthritis, and has also been shown to reduce muscle pain and improve recovery after exercise.
These are just a few of the many benefits of regular sauna use. If you'd like to experience them all, consider investing in a high-quality outdoor sauna from Saunamo. Our saunas are built to deliver an authentic, lasting Finnish sauna experience in the comfort of your home.
