Considerations Talk with your chiropractor before using sauna therapy for health purposes, especially if you are preg-nant. Your chiropractor understands your unique health history and can assess your readiness for this treatment approach. Some good general rules sauna users should employ include avoiding alcohol and medications that may limit sweating, staying in the sauna for no more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time, drinking two to four glasses of water after each sauna session and avoiding sauna therapy if feeling ill.

and creating feelings of well being.Many people use the sauna to help reduce stress levels. The sauna’s heat helps relax your body, including tight muscles and the sauna is a place to unwind and find relief from stress in other aspects of your life. Improved blood flow and oxygen supply relaxes both your body and your mind, leading to feelings of well-being and a sense of rejuvenation. An article published in the journal Physiology states that the principle reason for sauna’s continuing popularity is its ability to evoke pleas-ant feelings of deep relaxation.2Cardiovascular HealthBenefits The health-positive effects of saunas may extend well beyond relaxation and feelings of well-being. A 2009 studied published in the journal W X Y X Z [ X Y\ X ] [ ^ _ ` a _ b [ c [ X Y states that there is at least some evidence that far-infrared saunas may help normalize blood pressure and treat congestive heart failure.3 Another study published in 2001 in the d ] e f [ c X Y g h i f Y X ^ h jk e Z [ c [ Y e notes that sauna bathing is safe for most people with coronary heart disease with stable angina pecto-ris or old myocardial infarction or heart attack.4 This study also notes that sauna therapy may not be appropriate for individuals who have unstable angina pectoris or severe aortic stenosis or narrowing of the aortic artery.Individuals who have experienced a recent myocardial infarction should also avoid sauna therapy.

Addtional Health Benefits Additional health benefits of sauna therapy may include the soothing of joint aches and pains, the cleansing of skin and flushing of toxins from the body and the promotion of deeper sleep. According to a 2011 review article published in the d ^ Ñ e f Y X Ñ [ Ò ek e Z [ c [ Y e Ó e Ò [ e Ô Õ d g h i f Y X ^ h j W ^ [ Y [ c X ^Ö a e f X × e i Ñ [ c b , people who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic fatigue, chronic pain or addictions may also benefit from sauna therapy and that existing evidence supports the use of saunas for environmentally-induced illness.5
