Alaska Recovery Sauna

When you enter a sauna or come into contact with heat, your muscles relax and the tension accumulated throughout the day is relieved. This happens because exposure to heat increases blood flow to the muscles, improving tissue elasticity and promoting faster recovery.

Exposure to heat stimulates sweating, a process that helps eliminate toxins and impurities from the skin. In addition, sweating helps cleanse the pores, promoting healthier, more hydrated skin. Regular sauna use helps remove substances such as lead, cadmium and mercury, improving the appearance and health of the skin, while increased blood flow brings more nutrients to the epidermis【Hannuksela & Ellahham,
2001, American Journal of Medicine】.

Hot therapy promotes relaxation and reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Regular sauna use can improve the quality of your
sleep, reducing the time to fall asleep and increasing deep sleep by up to 20%, allowing a complete and refreshing recovery for the next day【Hussain & Cohen, 2018, Complementary Therapies in Medicine】.

Exposing the body to heat increases muscle extensibility and
joints, improving flexibility. This is especially beneficial for relieving joint pain, reducing stiffness, and preparing the body for exercise and
stretching, making it a great practice for people with problems such as arthritis or chronic pain【Petrofsky et al., 2013, Journal of Strength and
Conditioning Research】.

One of the most significant benefits of hot therapy is its impact on heart health. Long-term studies have linked sauna use to up to a 50% reduction in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 62% reduction in the risk of stroke. This is because saunas increase heart rate and improve circulation, strengthening the cardiovascular system. Laukkanen et al., 2015,
