The Health Benefits of a Sauna
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Paul_Elms]Paul Elms
The health-giving properties of taking a sauna have been recognized for centuries. The history of steam saunas can be traced backed to the Middle Ages when they were used in Finland. With the recent surge in awareness of natural healthcare, there has been an increase in the interest in saunas. There are a number of benefits that you can get from making this a regular part of your healthcare routine.
Pain relief - Many sufferers from conditions like arthritis, backache and bursitis say that they feel they have been helped by saunas. This could be that the warmth encourages blood flow, which brings natural pain killing products to the site of the problem and also allows healing to take place.
Stress Relief - It is a relaxing activity that you can enjoy at the end of the day. You can just be in your own world free from the distractions of the modern day living.
Increase in Body Temperature - This leads to an increase in circulation and the metabolic rate in general. This has the effect of burning more calories. Some specialists have said you burn as many calories as you would on a 20-30min run.
Detox - Saunas work by making you sweat. Although this is principally a way that the body cools itself, sweat also has another function - the elimination of waste products. By regularly helping the body to remove these waste products it is possible to help a body detox program.
Because of these benefits, many people are now considering having a sauna installed at home. Gone are the days when you would have to go to a health spa to enjoy these benefits. The units that are produced now are more affordable then ever. To some people it is the convenience that makes them take the plunge and buy their own sauna system. To others it is the feeling that a personal unit is more hygienic.
