Thank you for sharing all this! I can personally attest to the benefits of this form of heat therapy (especially for infrared and red light devices). And as a personal working with multiple complex painful and debilitating ongoing illnesses, this type of therapy has been unparalleled in effects of benefits for me. Also i am not required to be in ideal health to be able to participate and enjoy. Also of importance, unlike many other therapies, I have been able to find relatively affordable local sources for convenient use.
As a massage therapist, sauna is the #1 intervention I encourage my clients to commit to for pain/headaches/etc. Regardless of the origin of their pain, increasing blood and lymph to joints/tendons/ligaments etc…only assists in recovery and providing the healing cellular structures needed to THRIVE! I actually send out an email to all first-time clients that list out all the benefits of sauna!
Dark roast here! I was about to shoot tons of questions here but you answered all of them already without me asking! Thank you. I really needed this video ❤
Great talk, thank you! Sometimes I feel guilty about taking so much self-care time with my new sauna routine, I shoot for 3-4 days/wk, but apparently the health benefits are really for real! I always pair my sauna time with a cold shower afterwards. I've found that if I do this later in the day, afternoon or evening, it tends to keep me awake at bedtime, even though sauna seems like a good wind down. Maybe just taking out the cold shower would help? How do you get cooled down after an evning sauna?
This is great but the one thing I wonder in a lot of health research is looking at why these people are able to do this? So for example if someone has the time and the money to use a sauna 4-7 times a week does that mean they have better paid jobs and possibly less stress in their life? The study on Finnish sauna use mentions they are available to everyone so money probably not an issue there but again, not everyone would have the time.
I remember the research which found people who skip breakfast die younger, where these people choosing to do this or did they have no time or money to be able to get breakfast?
