What if standard sauna models just do not fit the space? Inquire with a North American sauna manufacturer to customize a sauna made just for the user. They can be made to the exact size to fit any space, be it a commercial gym, yoga studio, hotel, or a house. Does the client require a specific wood type? This is possible, too. With countless possibilities, a sauna manufacturer can make a vision come to life.
The benefits of saunas
The benefits of saunas vary and in a wide range. From relaxation, improving heart conditions, to ridding flu-like symptoms; the sauna has been a-go to for aiding many ailments for years.
Sauna benefits include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive disease: nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases, as well as arthritis, headache, and flu.
Sauna users also enjoy the conditioning of the body’s muscles from aches and pains. Increased endorphins while sauna bathing allow one to reduce their stress levels and reduce pain. (Endorphins are polypeptides made by the pituitary gland and central nervous system.)
While endorphins are doing their job of increasing in a sauna, serotonin also increases. Low levels of serotonin allow for depression. Serotonin is the “happy hormone,” and it affects mood and behaviour in a positive way. Increased levels of serotonin and lowering levels of cortisol (stress hormone) are one of many benefits of saunas.1
Another benefit is burning calories. According to the U.S. Army medical research (Ward Dean, M.D.), “A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams [17.6 oz] in a sauna in a single session, consuming nearly 300 calories in the process.”
Other positives from sauna bathing include sharpening of one’s senses, beautifying the skin, revitalizing the mind and body, and overall escape of the realities of daily life it offers. However, one is still recommended to consult their physician before any sauna use, particularly health use.
Exploring the history, types, options, and benefits of saunas, the narrative now transitions to an examination of why saunas have become one of the hottest commodities on the worldwide market.
