What does the research say about Heat Therapy:

1) Pain Management: Sauna therapy has shown to be an effective treatment for arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and chronic pain diseases.

2) Detoxification: Sweating in a sauna helps the body to flush out toxins and impurities through the skin pores. This detoxification process is often cited as a major benefit of sauna therapy in the research literature.

3) Improved Circulation: The heat from saunas causes blood vessels to dilate, which can lead to improved circulation. This enhanced blood flow can have various benefits, including better oxygenation of tissues and improved cardiovascular health.

4) Skin Health: Regular sauna sessions are believed to improve skin health by promoting circulation, opening up pores, and helping to cleanse the skin. Some people report improvements in conditions like acne and eczema after incorporating sauna therapy into their routine.
