Why Sauna Represents a Perfect Therapy Against Afflictions of a Busy Lifestyle

Already in the ancient times people knew about the soothing effects of saunas on the human body. Below, you can find some soothing effects of Atlantis Wellness saunas.

Pain Relief

High temperatures in saunas widen blood veins, boost blood flow, which may help relieve joint tension and sore muscles. This causes pain, even chronic pain, to subside.

Stimulation of Body Functions

High temperatures in saunas change and stimulate some processes in our body. Consequently, this leads to a higher heart rate, wider blood veins, a boost in the blood flow and strengthening of the cardiovascular system. Due to improved supply of blood to the cells, they also have a beneficial effect on the functioning of several organs.

Strengthening of Immune System

Saunas also help strengthen the immune system. That is why it is recommended to visit saunas especially in months when there is an abundance of different cold and viral infections. By regularly visiting saunas, you make your body less prone to cold and harmful influences of your environment.

Cleansing Effect

By perspiring in a sauna, we excrete toxic substances from the body. By exposing pores to high temperatures in a sauna, they open up and start excreting sweat and along with it toxins as side products of our metabolism and other substances, such as additives, preservatives, etc.

Skin Improvement

Sauna is one of the older rituals for preserving healthy and beautiful skin. When the body starts to perspire, the sweat washes away the toxins and bacteria from the epidermal layer, thereby effectively cleansing, softening and smoothing the skin and preventing skin-related issues.

Weight Loss

Sauna is regarded as an efficient tool to burn calories. It stimulates perspiration, which in turn demands use of a high level of energy. Due to the boost in burning calories, extra weight disappears quicker.

Subsiding Sleep Issues

The soothing warmth of sauna in the evening positively affects sleep as it ensures sleep is deeper and calmer and provides an extra dose of energy on the day after visiting the sauna.

Physical Condition Improvement

Taking a sauna prior to physical activity warms up the body and prepares it for physical activity. As such, it is an excellent addition to a warm-up prior to training, and it also calms the body after physical activity, since it relieves muscle tension and helps reduce lactic acid.

Anti-Stress
