Sauna & Heat Therapy
Exposing your body to controlled heat in a sauna to increase circulation, flush toxins through sweat, and activate relaxation response.
How It Works
Spend 15-45 minutes in a sauna (traditional heat or infrared). Your core temperature rises, blood vessels dilate, you sweat profusely releasing toxins. After, cool off gradually. Regular sessions (1-3 per week) support health and relaxation.
Why It Matters
Heat therapy supports detoxification, improves cardiovascular health, enhances circulation, supports athletic recovery, and activates deep relaxation. Saunas have been used for millennia for healing.
