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.

Saunas sessions can bring many benefits: they increase your heart rate and boost circulation; they can reduce muscle tension, inflammation and stress; and they may help sufferers of asthma and psoriasis. Research also suggests that saunas may lower the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

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.

Drink plenty of water: you’ll need to replace the fluid you lost through sweat, so drink at least 500ml-1l (2-4 glasses) of water after every sauna session.

Your first few sessions should last no more than 5-10 minutes, but once you’re used to saunas, you can increase individual session time to 20 minutes.

You’ll lose a lot of water through sweat once you’re in a sauna, so help your body out by gradually drinking a pint of water in the run up to your session – it’ll help prevent dehydration. You should also shower before a sauna, and take time to relax.
