A sauna is a heated room or cabin designed for dry or wet heat sessions. Traditional Finnish saunas use dry heat from a wood or electric stove (typically 70-100C). Steam saunas (steam rooms) use moist heat. Both promote sweating, relaxation, muscle recovery, and cardiovascular benefits.

Many people enjoy saunas on a daily basis, but if you’re healthy and new to them, try 1-3 sessions per week. You can increase the number of appointments once your body is used to them. If you have cardiovascular disease or low blood pressure, you should consult your doctor before using a sauna.

Regular sauna use is associated with improved cardiovascular health, reduced muscle soreness, stress relief, improved sleep, skin cleansing through sweating, and enhanced immune function. Many athletes use saunas for recovery alongside their training programmes.
