There are days when we don’t feel on top form, but we should never feel constantly sluggish, uncomfortable and fatigued. For anyone who is, it’s time to regain your sense of well-being and reap all the benefits of traditional sauna use.
Studies indicate that saunas can boost the production of human growth hormone (HGH), vital for muscle and tissue repair.
Saunas have the potential to diminish delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and tension, thereby accelerating the post-workout recovery rate and better priming athletes for subsequent workouts.
The warm environment promotes the release of anti-inflammatory compounds, contributing to pain reduction and increased flexibility.
According to a study, sauna therapy demonstrated a decrease in indicators of oxidative stress, a potential contributor to inflammation. Consistent therapy over time could yield life-improving benefits, positively impacting overall well-being.
Heat therapy induces the release of endorphins, aiding in pain relief and muscle soreness, while promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality.
A sauna session can have a significant impact on sleeping patterns.
By elevating your core temperature in the sauna or steam room just before bedtime, stepping out allows your body to rapidly cool down, facilitating a temperature drop that readies you for a restful, deep sleep. The combination of warmth and solitude also promotes relaxation and unwinding.
The elevated temperatures in quality saunas (around 80 degrees) are estimated to promote cardiovascular well-being. In a sauna, the heart rate may increase up to 100 beats per minute during moderate temperatures and up to 150 beats per minute during hotter sessions, mirroring the increases observed during moderate exercise.
In a study involving 19 healthy adults, the effects of a single 25-minute sauna session were found to be comparable to those of moderate physical exercise in terms of cardiovascular measures. Similar to the benefits of exercise, consistent sauna use generally results in improved blood pressure, endothelial function, and left ventricular function, while also reducing inflammation.
Frequent use of saunas and steam rooms can produce a remarkable effect on the skin and its overall appearance. The combination of steam, elevated temperature, sweating, and improved circulation stimulates collagen reproduction, providing significant benefits to the regeneration of skin cells while deeply cleansing and rejuvenating your skin.
Steam rooms offer profound stress relief through various avenues. The warmth, seclusion, and elevated temperature collectively relax the muscles, enhance circulation, and stimulate the release of endorphins.

Using a traditional sauna is an experience that leads to utter relaxation. The session involves brief passive exposure to bursts of intense heat. The rise in body temperature, mild hyperthermia, triggers thermoregulation, leading to perspiration to restore balance. Blood flow to the skin will increase by 50 – 705, and 0.5kg of sweat is lost on average. Hormesis, a protective response, is activated, leading to health benefits such as cellular repair, improved sleep quality, muscle relaxation, and more.
Stop the feelings of fatigue and stress and open up a world of complete muscular and full-body relaxation with frequent sauna utilisation. Contact us at TH7 Sunshine Coast to book your traditional sauna sessions.
