Traditional Sauna (Contrast)

Benefits

  • Sauna use can lead to increased heart rate and circulation, similar to the effects of moderate-intensity exercise. Regular sauna sessions may contribute to improved cardiovascular health by enhancing blood flow, lowering blood pressure, and supporting heart function.

  • Sauna exposure, particularly heat acclimation, can increase heat tolerance and endurance in hot conditions. This effect may benefit athletes and individuals training in heat.

  • Sauna sessions can promote relaxation and stress reduction by triggering the release of endorphins and promoting a sense of well-being. Regular use may help manage stress and improve mental resilience.

  • Sweating in a sauna can facilitate the removal of toxins and metabolic waste products from the body through the skin. This detoxification process may support overall health and well-being.

  • Heat from saunas can help alleviate muscle tension and reduce pain associated with conditions like muscle soreness, arthritis, and chronic pain.

  • Sauna use, especially in the evening, can raise the body's core temperature, which subsequently drops after leaving the sauna. This drop in body temperature may promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

  • Sauna-induced sweating can cleanse the skin by opening and unclogging pores, potentially reducing acne and promoting clearer, healthier skin.

FAQ Related to Sauna

  • Also known as, a norwegian/wet sauna, it uses a heater (electric) to heat the air in a cedar wood-paneled room. The air temperature in traditional saunas ranges from 160 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. We keep ours around 185-190 F. The superheated air is what heats your body through the process of conduction.

  • We offer 30-minute or 60-minute traditional contrast therapy sessions, with an additional 10 minutes in the service room after your session to shower and get dressed. This means a 30-minute session lasts approximately 45 minutes, and a 60-minute session lasts about 75 minutes. This allows you to fully enjoy the service and comfortably prepare afterward.

    We recommend alternating 1-3 minutes in the cold plunge with 10-15 minutes in the sauna, repeating this cycle until your session time is complete.

    Timers will be provided to notify you when your session ends, followed by 10 minutes for showering and changing.

  • This treatment is not recommended for individuals who are sensitive to extreme temperatures, have circulatory conditions, open sores, are pregnant, or have a pacemaker. If you are unsure whether this treatment is suitable for you, we strongly recommend consulting with your primary care physician beforehand.
