Science and Secrets of Finnish Saunas

Sauna for Wellness

For thousands of years Indigenous cultures across he world have been using heat and sweat as a means of purification and healing. These sessions of incredible heat have long been known to bring tranquility and relaxation on a scale rarely achieved elsewhere in life. Typically the Thermal Cycle consists of 5-20 minutes of Heat, followed by a Cold plunge of a couple seconds to several minutes, finally concluding the cycle with 15-20 minutes of Relaxation.

The Science of Sauna

Modern science continues to validate ancient wellness practices such as sauna. There is now an increasing body of evidence supporting sauna use, to improve quality of life and enhance longevity by reducing risk of cardiovascular events. "In fact, the benefits were even greater for people that were going into the sauna four to seven times per week. Those people were 50% less likely to die of a cardiovascular event compared to people that went into the sauna just once a week."
