Sweat Your Way to Health in a Sauna
By Dean Novosat
We live in a toxic world-a world full of pollution. There are toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and in the food we eat. A sauna can help you improve your health by allowing your body to sweat out the toxins and heavy metals that accumulate in your body over the years. A sauna works by heating your body either with hot, dry air or steamy, hot air causing your body to sweat profusely to keep cool. This sweat carries the toxins and heavy metals from deep inside our bodies to the surface of the skin where they can be washed away. Traditional saunas rely on a stove to heat the air to as hot as 97C. These saunas are heated with hot rocks. People then pour water on them so the air heats too. This is a moist or wet heat sauna and is the one that people think of most when they imagine a sauna. Traditional saunas and sweat lodges use hot stones, which produce a type of soft radiant heat. This is the same type of heat as produced by the sun and our bodies and is the most gentle and natural type of heat. Usually, people alternate hot and cold when they sauna. Most people sauna for 10-20 minutes before stepping out and taking a cold shower or plunge into a cold water pool or bath to close the pores. Sweating is the body’s natural and safe way to heal because sweating helps flush out toxins and disease. In a sauna, sweating begins quickly and the experience is rather pleasant. Sweating helps flush out any toxins and the increased blood flow promotes the healing of any skin cuts, sun burn or other skin ailment. This makes saunas great as part of a detoxing program. Sweat carries toxins out of the body and flushes them through the pores. Sweat production is primarily for cooling the body, and is composed mostly of water. However, once the body relaxes the toxins through the pores, it is important not to reabsorb the toxins, That is why a vigorous shower after a trip to the sauna is so important. If you don't wash the toxins off of your body, they will be reabsorbed. And now, since they have been sweated out, these toxins are in a concentrated form and are even more toxic. So after each sauna session, wash away all the toxin and close the pores with a cold or cool shower.
