Saunas have been used for thousands of years and are still popular today. Saunas help people relax and may have other health benefits.

So what are the benefits of sauna? Saunas are a great place to relax and unwind after a hard workout. The steam can help you flush out toxins and sweat, while the heat in your muscles will release the tension. Regardless of how the sauna is heated or the humidity level, the effects on the body are similar.

When a person sits in a sauna, heart rate increases and blood vessels dilate. It increases circulation in a similar way to low or moderate exercise, depending on the duration of sauna use.

When using sauna:

• Be quiet - Public saunas are a place of silence and meditation. If you're talking to a friend, keep it as quiet as possible.
• Get in and out quickly - Steam will come out if you leave the door open. Close the door as soon as possible when entering or leaving the sauna.
• Manners - You are in a public place, so be respectful of the room and everyone in it.
• Take a shower first - This will get rid of bad body odors, bacteria and sweat.
• Ask first - If you want to change ANYTHING (heat, steam, etc.), ask first
