Sauna is dry form of heat. In sauna set up there is a room in which water is splashed on the hot rocks to produce steam. The temperature at which sauna bath should be taken is controlled by the participants. This steam is then used for its medical benefits. Sauna bath causes sweating & helps in opening skin pores. As we sweat more during sauna bath, it helps in excretion of body toxins and other impurities from the blood. People experience freshness in mood and health for longer time once they take sauna bath, as the body gets cleansed through sweating and muscles are relieved leading to the feeling of well-being. Sauna bath is also useful in joint pains as the warm steam helps blood flow resume effectively in all parts of the body and the contracted muscles are relieved.
