health benefits of saunas?
According to many health professionals, sauna benefits include...
• a strengthened immune system
• improved blood circulation
• enhanced detoxification processes
• deep skin cleansing and rejuvenation
• tension and stress relief

Yes, taking a sauna does increase your metabolism and help burn calories, but a sauna is absolutely, positively not a replacement for good nutrition and exercise! Nevertheless, there appears to be strong proof that most people really can benefit from regular sauna use.
