5 Ways Saunas Improve Your Mental Health

5 Ways Saunas Improve Your Mental Health

July 19, 2022

Finding an effective way to relax can be challenging. It doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or a parent always on the go, we all need self-care in our lives to help us recharge! This is why getting a home sauna could be one of the best investments you make. 

Here at The Muskoka Sauna Company, we strive to give people the ability to make healthy living more convenient and accessible.

In this blog, we will list the top 5 benefits of owning your personal sauna: 


1) Combat Depression 

Research has proven that regular use of a sauna can put you in a better mood. It elevates the natural antidepressants in your brain such as dopamine and serotonin. 

In addition, research also shows regular sauna activity can make you feel euphoric. Saunas can be stressful on the body, so it releases euphoric hormones to help deal with the stress it is experiencing. It gives your body reason to soften your state of mind. 

 

2) Less Stress & Anxiety 

Similarly, regular use of a sauna can decrease stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol; your brain’s main stress hormone. Take that deep breath and relax! 

 

3) Pain Relief

This is by far the most well-known effect of a sauna - however, it is also the most noteworthy. Sauna rooms help release endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals used to combat pain. Reduce inflammation and boost your mood in just a 20 minute session. 

 

4) Sleep

Naturally, you sleep better when you feel more relaxed. Saunas assist in that process by giving you the foundation to ease into a nighttime routine.  

Consistent use of a home sauna combined with 8 hours of sleep can reduce symptoms of  depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Get your sweat and your 💤  in! 

 

5) Brain Function 

Normal use of a sauna enhances blood circulation throughout the body, especially your brain. It’s a tool that can help you focus better, as well as form better relationships with others. 

 

Along with the gym and a well-balanced diet, it's safe to say adding a sauna into your daily routine will have lasting benefits. If this makes you excited to buy a sauna for your home in Ontario or Quebec, feel free to contact us on our website or social media.
