9 years ago, we bought a hobby farm outside of Chicago with a fully equipped weight room and sauna. We've used the weight room only a couple times, but I do use the sauna on a regular basis to proof bread. I was once a baker, and a sauna makes a wonderful proofer for yeast breads and cinnamon rolls. Needless to say, maybe I really should use the exercise equipment after all LOL
I have been using a Finnelo infrared sauna for about two months now. generally 45 minutes at 60 degrees C...73 old male ... it has really helped with my arthritis pain and sleep quality. I noticed if I use it every other day I get better results. When it is cold it is truly like a nice long warm hug...I use a one person model set up in my apartment, only takes an area 3ft x 3ft and plugs into a standard 110 outlet . Great topic doctors, thank you.
A high quality red light, panel along with pro resolving mediators and a few other supplements, completely obliterated my hip osteoarthritis -- I was about to have hip surgery, but decided to try the above mentioned treatment in my home for nine months. Progressively decreasing pain, until a jump down with red light/nir light. No pain med whatsoever. I can do all my physical activities pain free again. A miracle.
Thank you both for such an insightful video on the benefits of sauna use. You're well researched perspective is a breath of fresh air, especially in how effectively you've addressed the skeptics. My husband and I have been using a dry sauna 2 to 3 times a week for over a decade and we're living proof of its incredible benefits. Our evening sessions leave us waking up, happy, positive, and strong each day. We're so grateful to see voices like yours championing this practice.
Living in Texas is like being in a sauna about 10 months out of the year!🥵 If I want to sweat, I just have to walk outside.☺️ This was very interesting to hear about saunas. Although I'd be more inclined to install a meat locker!😉 Thanks for sharing another great video!👍
The World Health Organization says that life expectancy in Canada and Finland are the same, 81years. I have a sauna at home, 75c for 30min and I sauna every day. I love it.
We have an infrared sauna and I just started to use it two days ago. I recently read about using it for menopause hot flashes and hormonal imbalances in addition to the health benefits you mentioned. The temperature ranges I’ve seen for infrared saunas are between 110 and 130 degrees. I’ve started at 110 for 20 minutes. I’m in excellent health, but the hot flashes are annoying. I’m excited to see how this works for me. Thanks for the great information.
I started using it, I think it helped, I'd be a perfect person to try a placebo on, now I'm on biotin as store didn't have collagen, my friend uses that for her hair which is amazing, my nails seem harder but it's for my skin, you're suppose to take at night which neither of us do, weird, is the stuff supposed to float to your ends or something?
Have a 6’x6’ barrel and love it. Been hitting the shvitz regularly since 2021 and don’t want to live without it. 195F is as hot as my skin can take it. Sauna4life!
We recently tried all different type of saunas, found that the traditional Finish sauna is the best. We absolutely love it and felt the benefits so we are building one at home now.❤
I cleaned my sauna this morning and used it for the first time in five years and THEN see this video (which was just posted) Coincidence! I can do 130°.
One more benefit is connecting more with your partner. We bought a 4-person barrel sauna last year and my husband and I use it 4-5 times a week! It's great to unwind and have a chat! Plus, it looks like a little hobbit house that the grandkids think is pretty cool. I thought we wouldn't use it as much in the summer but that was not the case!
I was in Germany cologne this summer & went to a health club & experience the sauna & steam rooms it was an amazing experience! I felt so relaxed & fresh afterwards! I’m now looking to join/go regularly to 1 here in the uk.
I have done a regular sauna most every day for many years. When I was working as a surgeon, I ran several miles, did a sauna, then went to the hospital. Doctor awake, patient asleep. :-)
I was heat shocked, mental shocked and 40% all around shocked by this info. Off to look at building my own Sauna! question: any info on wet vs dry sauna?
Have sauna in my condo building using it regularly and have been aware of most of these benefits for some time.. I like to do some stretching once I am warmed up..
Purchased a hybrid sauna for my home. About $7k. But I like infrared and hubby likes steam. We replaced our hot tub - there is virtually zero maintenance. We love it!
@colleensmith3374 it is Medical Sauna out of California- a 818 number. ( sorry I don't know how to add a link). We purchased one for outside and placed it under a gazebo - it's really attractive! My son is now building an outdoor shower to complete the experience. 😁 we are in Northern Arizona. Have fun!
I've started using the sauna a few months ago. I know I should've asked my Dr. first but went anyways. Some gyms have them so I started. I'm okay as I did anyways had a scheduled Drs. appt. My fibromyalgia & arthritis pain I will always have however using the sauna has helped my body. I understand we all have different body symptoms but if you have the chance it couldn't hurt. People that are overweight or have heart issues should not. This is what I was told. Hope this helps. Take care of your body and get healthy. ❤
I am a retired Atlantic Canada, RN after 40 years full time. I had a posterior hip replacement in January and in May, we went to Mexico. My hip was fine, but my left knee, which I am now waiting to have replaced was not. The humidity seemed to make the inflammation worse. Maybe it wasn't the humidity, but it sure seemed to be. So my question is this. We are going on a cruise in three weeks and we have a thermal spa pass. There are multiple types of Saunas. Salt room, regular sauna, infrared sauna, Eucalyptus sauna, ect. I am wondering if the humidity in the sauna may make my inflammation in my knee worse? I've already had by pre-op assessment, and I expect an OR date in early 2025. Side-note, the hip replacement was life changing.
It took me about 6 months to go from 10 to 30 minutes in the local YMCA sauna. Since reaching 30 minutes, my overall strength, speed and health has continued to improve, though there are a lot of confounding variables for my case like diet and exercise. I use it to extend my weekly evening strength training, or weekly afternoon swim. BTW I'm 63 and have been setting modest running PRs for the past couple months.
Sauna before bed, nice shower equals great sleep! I like beating the odds for early cardiovascular problems, longer life in exchange for getting a good soaking sweat.
Such great info, but I have one question. I see people at the gym entering the sauna dressed with aerobic clothes on, including sneakers. What is the proper attire for entering the sauna? Love you guys!
I do take and like saunas, but I prefer cool water in the swimming pool to exercise. Most people prefer a warm pool but I like it cold. It's more invigorating, and I work harder .
I used to go to a facility that had a sauna and I felt like doing the 15 minute sauna after my workout raised my energy level and made me feel 10 pounds lighter.
If you’re reading this start living before it’s too late. I recommend reading “Health and Beauty Mastery” that book is a real eye opener, i completely changed my habits.
I used to have a hottub and its temp was 104 f. The hot water was nice, but the addition of the bubbles was great. I'd use the hottub 3 to 4 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes. I've used a sauna similarly but the hottub was more acceptable to guests and kids.
Thanks Guys! I’m latching on to every tidbit I can to improve my health. (I’m rebuilding the 1959 Volkswagen, I was born with (my body), and turning it into a more exotic car) 😂😂
While I’m thinking about it. I sit in a steam room a lot since I’ve had a chronic cough for years, but I’m starting to think dry heat might be better. What’s your thoughts?
You have me wondering if my 'hot-tub yoga' - 30 minutes 3 x week has the same benefits of the sauna you describe. I am 71, have osteoarthritis, osteoporosis & have broken a couple of bones which kept me inactive for long enough to loose muscle. This hot-tub routine is the only way I can safely ease back in to a weight bearing workout and not injure myself/loose all my progress. Doing squats in the hot water is way more realistic for me right now! The heat makes it all possible!
My husband and i go to a place that has suites w infared sauna and cold plunge. He swears by both. I prefer the sauna only. The relaxation i feel when done is amazing. And much needed. Detoxing from mold. Anything i can do to help with that. Would love one in my garage.
Pretty rad to see this from orthopedists, actually, because the thing i want to know most is how soon i can use the steam room after my posterior hip replacement.
Heat increases plasma volume which can be part of a training program. But general health claims have to be confounded by social determinants of health as people who can afford sauna and related free time are different from those who can't
I could not breathe in a sauna! I had to put a towel in front of my face to breathe. That was years ago. Now post COVID I can no longer handle heat. 40 to 74 is my happy zone now.❤
Nice! Now do jacuzzi - whirlpool - hot tub (with and without jets). I go from sauna to jacuzzi for the jets on muscles. Is that good, better, best or... shouldn't do that combo?
Doctors or anybody that would know. Is there any research that says? Which type of sauna is best for you the ones from Finland or infrared or other. Thank you
We have an infrared/dry sauna in our basement. I've found that no more than 20-40 minutes is sufficient, depending on whether or not the sauna was preheated. You will need to shower afterwards, or your partner may exile you from the house.
@@savatryramsaran1877 It's made by Sunlighten and is a Signature model infra red sauna. Shipped in several boxes and must be assembled. It requires a 20 Amp circuit.
I am poor the hot Texas summers. Maybe because of the humidity that is added in. But I love a sauna. Usually can only get one when I travel wish there was more local access to one.
What about going to sauna right after strength exercise (in the gym) vs going to only sauna (not mixing these activities). Are there any special benefits when combining these two? Like faster muscle recovery? Or vice versa, are there any disadvantages?
A woman mentioned that they had to quit hot yoga because it affected their thyroid. Considering that hot yoga temperatures and humidity feel like a light sauna session is thyroid something to keep an eye on?
1. Most commercial gyms that have dry or steam saunas are oriented to the "general public" who cannot take the high heat that I believe one needs to provide any benefits. In dry saunas, they usually top out out at about 165F (74F), and in their steam saunas it feels like Florida in the summer -- just not enough. For this reason, I go to specialized establishments which cater to those who want really high temperatures. In the the Archimedes Banya, which is run by Russian immigrants in San Francisco, one of the two dry saunas has temperature of 215F = 101.7C. Yes, above boiling point of water, but human body can withstand such a temp for a few minutes. These specialized establishments charge a pretty penny so if one were going to do it often enough, then it may make sense to install a sauna in one's home, if financially feasible. 2. I usually accumulate approx. 60 min in a session, via multiple "trips" into the sauna, followed by a rest period, all in one session. According to my Garmin Forerunner 965, my body expends about 330 KCal per session, which is the same that I burn in a 3 mile run. And my heart rate is in Zone 2 throughout the session, and I feel more exhausted than after a 6 mile run. After a session like this, I feel like a dish rag and it takes me at least 12 hours to recover. Love both dry and steam saunas equally; they do different things. Am 71 and have been enjoying saunas since about 12.
I do not know what it means that sauna’s, as well as other things, lower “all cause mortality”. How is that measured? I mean all cause mortality for a week, a year, or what? Death is certain, the last I checked. I am 78, in remission from Non-Hodgkin Folicular Lymphoma since 2014. Will a sauna keep me going to 10 more years?
absolutely a healthy benefit for this old man (62), have had many injuries from a military career, infrared and wet sauna both helpful!!
