7 Health and Fitness Reasons to Use Dry Saunas Regularly
I explain the health and well-being benefits of using dry saunas based on reviews, observations, and decades of experience.
Purpose of the Story
This article introduces the health benefits of dry saunas under seven headings. I explain the benefits by leveraging a review of credible sources and my decades of experience with hundreds of sauna users in health and fitness communities.
What is a dry sauna, and why does it matter?
Dry saunas are closed areas warmed by heaters to a tolerable temperature by users. They cause the body to warm up from outside slowly within 10 to 20 minutes. Then the temperature affects internal organs.
Traditional saunas have been used for centuries for whole-body thermotherapy, enjoyment, hygiene, and spiritual reasons in some cultures. Interestingly, as mentioned in this paper, saunas were used as a place for childbirth.
Traditional saunas mainly use wood burning on stoves or heated with electricity. However, infrared sauna cabins have recently become popular and affordable for individuals to use at home.
