Life's fast pace leaves many of us yearning for a pause, a moment to de-stress and rejuvenate. That's where the magic of a traditional Finnish sauna comes into play, especially one nestled within a Spa Garden like ours at Heart Based Healing Centre.
Traditional vs. Infrared Saunas
Traditional vs. Infrared Saunas
Why choose a traditional sauna? Research points towards its holistic benefits. Unlike infrared saunas, traditional ones offer a deep, enveloping heat that not only relaxes muscles but also significantly boosts mental health.
Boosting Mental Well-being
Let's talk science for a sec. Studies like those by Hrinciu et al. (2015) have shown that sauna use can improve autonomic nervous system recovery post-exercise. This isn't just about physical recovery; it's about reducing stress, a big win for your mental health. Boosting mental health is a journey - one that can be beautifully supported by regular sauna sessions.
Scientifically, the heat from saunas is thought to trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals, which can produce a state of euphoria and have a positive impact on mental health. The heat stress from a sauna session can lead to an increase in the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports brain health, enhances mood, and improves cognitive functions. These brain mechanisms are the reason why saunas are so great for mental health.
Kim et al. (2018) further highlight how regular sauna sessions can enhance sleep quality and decrease depression symptoms. It's like hitting a "reset" button for your mood and mind. Scott and I use the sauna nearly every night. It’s our wind down after a busy day and for me it is a HUGE stress reliever. I know I sleep better because of the sauna, because if I go without it of an evening where I’ve had a particularly stressful day, then my sleep is really impacted.
Moreover, embracing the sauna as part of your mental health toolkit opens up a path to mindfulness. In that beautiful warmth, it's easier to find moments of clarity and calm, grounding yourself in the present. This isn't just about relaxation; it's about actively nurturing your mental well-being - finding that peaceful inner space.
