Saunas have been used for health and relaxation purposes for centuries in many cultures around the world. Today, medical research continues to uncover evidence that regular sauna bathing provides numerous health benefits. At Airpuria, we offer a wide selection of traditional, infrared, and hybrid saunas to help you experience the wellness advantages of heat therapy in the comfort of your own home!
Sauna Bathing for Improved Heart Health
Several studies have indicated that regular sauna bathing may provide benefits for cardiovascular health. Frequent sauna use has been associated with a reduced risk of fatal cardiovascular events and sudden cardiac death. One long-term follow-up study found that the risk of hypertension was 46% lower in men who had 4-7 sauna sessions per week. Researchers concluded that sauna bathing may help lower high blood pressure.
Sauna bathing can also contribute to heart health by improving blood vessel function. The high heat causes blood vessels to expand and increases blood flow throughout the body. As an authorized dealer for Enlighten, Medical Breakthrough, and Sunray saunas, Airpuria is able to offer traditional and infrared saunas that allow you to experience the heart-healthy benefits of heat therapy in your home.
Benefits Beyond the Heart
Potential for Preventing Dementia
In addition to cardiovascular benefits, saunas may offer other health benefits, and they have garnered interest as a potential factor in reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Using a sauna a few times a week has been linked to a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. While the relationship is not definitively established, several mechanisms suggest how sauna use might contribute to brain health.
The heat stress experienced in saunas can prompt the release of proteins called heat shock proteins. These proteins aid in cellular repair and protect cells from stressors, potentially supporting brain cells' resilience. Improved circulation, a result of the heat's effect on blood vessels, may also play a role.
Improved Mood
The relaxation induced by saunas promotes a sense of calm and tranquility and plays a role in reducing cortisol levels, a stress regulator. Additionally, endorphins, the body's natural "feel-good" chemicals, may be released during sauna sessions due to heat stress. This can lead to a sense of euphoria and improved mood.
Healthy, Glowing Skin
Regular sauna use may also provide advantages for skin health through several mechanisms. The elevated temperature and humidity levels in a sauna environment have the potential to open up pores, facilitating the release of toxins and impurities through sweat. This natural cleansing process can lead to clearer skin and a reduction in blemishes.
The heat from a sauna session induces vasodilation, which enhances blood circulation to the skin. This increased blood flow ensures that skin cells receive an improved supply of oxygen and nutrients, promoting their vitality and overall well-being. The oxygen-rich environment can aid in cellular regeneration and turnover, encouraging the shedding of dead skin cells and the emergence of new, healthier ones - promoting a more even skin tone and a natural, healthy glow.
Immune System Boost
Some evidence suggests sauna bathing may boost the immune system. The dry heat exposure, similar to a low-grade fever, may contribute to increased levels of white blood cells that defend the body against viruses and other pathogens.
Menstrual Cramp Relief
Women may find extra benefits from regular sauna sessions as well. The heat from a sauna can help relax muscles and promote overall relaxation. This muscle relaxation can extend to the uterine muscles, which may help ease the tension and contractions that contribute to menstrual cramps. The improved blood circulation resulting from heat exposure may also play a role in reducing the severity of cramps.
Sauna bathers can potentially improve their mental health as well by contributing to lower stress levels and greater relaxation. The soothing dry heat of an infrared, traditional, or hybrid sauna creates a tranquil environment for calming your body and mind. At Airpuria, our extensive selection of premium indoor and outdoor saunas allows you to personalize your home wellness retreat.

Sauna Health Benefits FAQ
Do saunas actually have health benefits?
Yes, multiple studies have shown evidence of various benefits linked to regular sauna bathing, such as improved cardiovascular health, reduced inflammation, enhanced relaxation, and faster post-workout muscle recovery. Always check with your doctor before using a sauna, especially if you have any medical conditions.
Is it good to sauna every day?
For most healthy individuals, using a sauna a few times per week is safe and provides health advantages. However, daily sauna bathing is only recommended as long as it is tolerated, as it can dehydrate and cause fatigue or dizziness. Listen to your body and avoid overdoing sauna sessions.
