When you think of a Finnish sauna, you might imagine a cozy retreat in the heart of winter, a place to escape the biting cold. However, using a sauna during the warmer months can be equally effective and refreshing. Enjoying a summer sauna routine even when temperatures rise is incredibly beneficial , lets dive in:
1. Enhanced Detoxification
Warmer weather naturally opens your pores, making the detoxifying effects of a sauna even more potent. The intense heat (up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit) of a Finnish sauna accelerates sweating, helping to flush out toxins more efficiently. This deep cleanse can leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and glowing, no matter the season.
2. Improved Cardiovascular Health
Regular sauna sessions can have a significant impact on your cardiovascular system. The heat causes your heart rate to increase and blood vessels to dilate, improving circulation. This can be particularly beneficial in the summer when your body is already working to cool itself. A Finnish sauna can help maintain cardiovascular health by simulating a mild workout, even on rest days.
3. Muscle Recovery and Relaxation
After summer activities like hiking, swimming, or playing sports, a sauna session can aid in muscle recovery. The heat helps to relax tense muscles, reduce soreness, and promote faster healing. It’s an excellent way to unwind after a day of physical exertion, allowing you to enjoy your summer adventures without the lingering aches.
4. Mental Clarity and Stress Relief
This is the big one! The serene environment of a Finnish sauna provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of summer activities. The quiet, meditative space allows you to decompress and clear your mind. Regular use can reduce stress levels and improve overall mental well-being, offering a sanctuary of calm amid the excitement of summer.
5. Adaptation and Tolerance to Heat
Using a sauna in warmer months can help your body adapt better to high temperatures. This heat acclimation can make you more tolerant to summer heat waves, reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses. It’s like training your body to handle the heat more effectively, making outdoor activities more enjoyable and safer.
What sets us apart?
Our sauna is outside where you can step into the fresh air and enjoy an invigorating outdoor rinse.
Additionally, the idea that a cold plunge (lets be honest, this can be just outright painful and uncomfortable) is required for true hold/cold therapy temperature separation is simply not true. Cold water therapy generally utilizes water temperatures between 50°F and 60°F to achieve many health benefits. This range is achievable with typical cold tap water, which is usually around 60°F.
So, enjoy the same health benefits of hot cold therapy without the painful plunge.
