Sauna in the traditional way, wood fired, well-ventilated and steamy! The benefits of sauna are plentiful and many – physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually! A wood-fired sauna is a complete sensory experience. The scent of the wood, the sound of the fire, and heat from the steam and rocks create an elemental experience which feels like a return to something long forgotten but much missed!
Good for joints, muscles and cardiovascular health*, sauna is a great option for those who exercise and those who don’t (or can’t). Good for sleep; aches and pains - the physical and the emotional ones; for managing mood and reducing stress. Good for sharing time with your friends and family, for returning to the elements and reconnecting to yourself, it’s the perfect way to unplug and take a break from the tech. Good for your heart, your bones, and your soul. No wonder Hippocrates said, ‘sauna helps, even when nothing helps!’
Proven benefits include - (this is not an exhaustive list)
helps manage chronic and acute pain, arthritis and joint pain
promotes muscle recovery
promotes cardio-vascular health
improves sleep
reduces inflammation in the whole body
improves mental health, reduces depression, loneliness and isolation
increases insulin sensitivity and may therefore help manage type 2 diabetes - this is highly significant and is currently being researched further
Given that all of these health issues are on the rise, sauna is emerging as a powerful means for people to manage their own health and healing on a long-term basis.
