“Finnish cohorts associated frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular mortality and lower dementia risk, but these observational findings cannot establish prevention. Dr. Patrick discusses a commonly studied pattern near 174–175 °F for about 20 minutes and notes that infrared sauna may require longer exposure.”

“This imbalance leads to impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation, which is common among people who have congestive heart failure. Two weeks of sauna therapy, however, improved endothelial and cardiac function in patients with congestive heart failure.”

“Levels of white blood cells (especially lymphocytes, neutrophils, and basophils) are increased in both trained and non-athletes after sauna use. While these findings are interesting, they are still preliminary and larger studies are needed to confirm.”

“Researchers treated patients with major depressive disorder with heat so that their core body temperature reached temperatures equivalent to those experienced with sauna use. Following just one treatment session, subjects experienced elevations in mood that lasted for several weeks.”

“A total of 81.3% of participants completed at least 4 whole body hyperthermia sessions, though the time commitment led to some dropouts, prompting a mid-study shift to fewer sessions. The results suggest that sauna-based whole body hyperthermia, when paired with CBT, may offer significant benefits for depression.”

“Exercise reduces symptoms of depression and improves brain health. Sauna and whole-body hyperthermia mimic aerobic exercise in their ability to improve cardiovascular health through many of the same mechanisms.”

“This clip originates from an interview recorded on the Kevin Rose Show, which you can click here to download the full version of. Sauna bathing after high-intensity exercise can reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improve muscle strength.”

“Sauna use is associated with reduced risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. One mechanism that drives this reduced risk is likely heat shock proteins, a class of proteins produced by cells in response to stressful conditions such as heat exposure.”

“Sauna use has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, likely through its effects on the expression of heat shock proteins, transcriptional regulators, and pro- and anti-inflammatory factors.”

“Practices such as intense exercise and sauna use promote heavy sweat losses. Learn more about how sauna use rids the body of toxins in this overview article. Allergenic concerns about seafood and salmon roe Fish, fish products, and shellfish are among the most common allergenic foods.”
