Did you know that visiting the sauna has many health benefits? Besides being wonderfully relaxing, it is also good for your physical and mental well-being. In this blog, we share with you some of the health benefits.
It improves blood circulation
The heat of the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, which improves circulation and increases oxygen supply to cells. Your body goes “to work” because of the heat, which is good for better circulation.
It lowers blood pressure
Do you suffer from high blood pressure? If so, regular visits to the sauna may be recommended. Due to improved blood circulation, the sauna can help lower blood pressure, especially in people with high blood pressure.
It strengthens the immune system
Do you notice that you have poor immunity? For example, are you often sick, colds or tired? Then visit the sauna regularly. Sauna sessions can strengthen the immune system and increase resistance to disease.
It relaxes muscles and reduces stress
The heat of the sauna helps relax muscles and can reduce stress. You come to complete rest for a while due to the fine heat, reducing the tension and stress in your body. Not feeling so good about yourself? Then book a visit to the sauna.
It relieves pain
Saunas can help reduce pain in joints and muscles, and can also relieve headaches. For example, have you had a big sports session, run a marathon or asked a lot of your body? Then a sauna session is perfect for letting your body recover.
It improves the skin
Sweating opens the pores, allowing the skin to breathe and remove impurities.
Tip: exfoliate your skin after you have been in the sauna. This removes all dead skin cells and leaves you with soft skin. Then apply a nice body lotion and face cream.
Do you suffer from a medical condition or are you pregnant? Please consult your doctor before visiting the sauna.
