Regular sauna bathing is regarded as a beneficial kind of “jogging” for the heart and blood vessels.   Your metabolism is boosted and circulation is increased helping to flush toxins.  Sauna bathing can also be beneficial for pre/post workout relaxation, help relieve allergies and sinus congestion and  help relieve arthritic pain.  When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, sauna bathing can burn as many as 300 calories during each session, which is equal to running 2-3 miles.  It activates the nervous system and stimulates the production of endorphins, which are said to be able to alleviate pain and enhance the body’s feeling of well-being.
