The more you go to sauna — the better benefits you experience!

The benefits of a sauna are undeniable. Half an hour in a sauna of about 80 degrees several times a week is the best option.  In the sauna, it is worthwhile to stay in peacefully, since the beneficial effects of blood circulation begin when you have been there about 15 minutes.

The gentle touch of the heat relaxes both body and mind. At the same time as you start feeling better, the sauna will help to combat the harmful effects of stress. Blood pressure drops and these effects are still visible after 24 hours.

Going to the sauna regularly is good. Better to go every day or even just once a week. Everyone goes to the sauna every so often as they feel good. Also remember that when you are sick you cannot go to sauna.
