In the past few years, there have been numerous long-term peer-reviewed scientific studies of sauna use that have not only validated the health benefits of these ancient traditions, but have even discovered the cellular mechanisms that usher in the benefits. Also, beyond the science, and the fact they create a healthier you, they just feel great, and that’s a bonus indeed.
We could point you towards all the scientific literature, but it takes a long time to dig through, so here is a concise list of the major benefits that are highly supported by scientific findings.
Lowered blood pressure
Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
Reduced risk of stroke
Reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia
Prevention of muscular atrophy
May alleviate symptoms of depression
Increased insulin sensitivity
Increased cognitive function and memory retention
Increased neural plasticity
Increased expression of heat-shock proteins
Increase in BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor), aides in neuron repair and maintenance
Reduced risk of all causes of mortality
What has been found is that the benefits from sauna use occur in a “dose-dependent manner”, meaning that the more you use the sauna, the more robust the benefits are. For instance, those who used the sauna 2 to 3 times per week has a 27% reduction in cardiovascular related illness, but those who used it 4 to 7 had a 50% reduction.
