Sauna has positive effects on the organism due to changes of heat and cold. Due to the higher temperature blood flows to the skin, subcutaneous area and muscles increases and toxins are secreted through the skin. Temperature of the body increases approximately by 1°C, temperature of the skin approximately by 10°C and you lose 20 – 30 grams of sweat every minute. Heartbeat increases while you sweat and comes back to the normal after cooling down. Regular sauna enhances resistance against stress as well as stimulates the immune system. It acts as a prevention of headaches caused by incorrect vein pressure regulation. Changing of hot and cold phases strengthens veins. Heart is beating faster, but its effort is reduced by extensive vein circulation in the skin. There is no need to fear extreme heart pressure. Skin blood flow is increased by 900%, heartbeat by 50%. Body temperature decreases to its normal value after cooling down. Sauna purifies the skin and stimulates production of new cells. Respiratory system is moisturized during sauna and bronchi is supplied with mucus. To stimulate immune system one or two sauna per week are recommended.
Pregnant women without complications can also take sauna. It can help to alleviate swollen feet and hands caused by retaining water in the organism. Other positive benefits are detoxification and increased blood circulation. The risk of thrombosis is lowered because of reinforced blood circulation. Sauna reduces stress and has calming effect on the organism. To ensure the body is used to changing temperatures, it is ideal to start taking sauna before getting pregnant.
