Popularly used for thousands of years to date, Sauna is considered by many as the perfect way to unwind and relax. It is essentially a heated, humid room that has varying effects on an individual such as an increase in blood circulation. There are many other health benefits obtained through a good Sauna which you will learn about through this article.
A sauna is a room heated to a temperature of 700 to 1000 Celsius or 1580 to 2120 Fahrenheit. The conditions vary based on the type of sauna you opt for. A Finnish sauna uses dry heat with 10-20% humidity, while a Turkish-style sauna uses a greater level of humidity. While using a sauna, your skin temperature can rise to roughly 400 C or 1040 F. Rising skin temperature leads to heavy sweating, and a rise in heart rate to cool the body.
As the skin temperature shoots up in a sauna, an average person pours out about a pint of sweat. This causes the pulse rate to jump by 30% or more and the heart to nearly double the amount of blood being pumped per minute. Blood circulation is shunted away from the internal organs and instead, extra blood flows to the skin, resulting in a rise or fall of blood pressure.
When a person sits in a sauna, their blood vessels widen, and the rate of blood circulation increases, thereby increasing heart rate to 100-150 beats per minute (as seen in a low to moderate intensity workout). This may result in the following health benefits:
Based on how heated the room is, there are different types of sauna which include:
