Using exposure to heat and cold to improve health is nothing new. Almost all civilizations have incorporated some form of it over the centuries. What is new, is our understanding of how and why it is so beneficial — the phenomena of hormesis or hormetic stress.
Hormesis is the biological process that describes the way our bodies adapt to certain types of stress. This adaptive response triggers biochemical pathways to repair, rebuild and re-set. It leads to improvements in resilience, immunity and general physical and mental wellbeing. Hormetic adaptation is central to the benefits of intensive exercise, fasting and certain nutrients.
Exposure to controlled levels of heat or cold is one of the most effective ways to harness the power of hormesis. And with purpose-made hormetic technology like Found—Space infrared saunas and ice baths it has never been easier incorporate these therapies into your lifestyle.
Deliberate heat expose with Infrared sauna activates expression of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP), also called stress proteins. They act like a cellular SAS force, coordinating, reorganising and stabilising cells. They can also stop viruses from reproducing and regulate inflammation. Regular sauna use has also been show to increases white blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil, and basophil counts.
One of the ways our immune system kills off pathogens is to raise our body temperature with a fever. Infrared sauna also raises core temperature mimicking the natural healing response. One study by the British Medical Association found that people who take regular saunas reduce their incidence of colds and influenza by 65%. Another six-month study found that people who engaged in regular sauna baths had significantly fewer colds than the control group over the same time period.
Regular sauna may reduce the risk of age-related decline in immune function. It does this by inducing a protective response that helps to maintain healthy communication between cells and tissues, reducing the chances of infection or other age-related illnesses.
The Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease (KIHD) Study, which has been following 2,315 middle-aged Finnish men for more than 20 years, found that those men who frequented saunas the most (four to seven times per week) had a significantly lower risk of sudden cardiac death, fatal coronary heart disease, and fatal cardiovascular disease compared to those who visited saunas less frequently. The study found that increased sauna use was also associated with a 40% reduction in all-cause mortality.
Infrared sauna can benefit cardiovascular health in a similar way to exercise. Our heart rate has been shown to increase up to 100 beats per minute during a moderate-temperature sauna sessions and up to 150 beats per minute during hotter sessions. This is similar to the increases observed during moderate and intensive physical exercise.
A study in 1628 men and women followed for 15 years, found that having regular sauna (4-7 sessions/wk) compared with 1 sauna session/wk was associated with an approximately 62% reduced risk of incident stroke.
One of the most common questions we get asked is, why do I feel so good after sauna?
Both clinical and anecdotal evidence shows that sauna helps us to relax, lifts our mood and our sense of well-being. Our bodies respond to the penetrative heat of infrared sauna by increasing production of several hormones and neurotransmitters that are responsible for the pleasurable and soothing effects of a sauna, and improving mood, focus and attention. Plus, regular sauna can help regulate the stress hormone cortisol.
Sauna bathing is associated with reduced risk of developing age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease (KIHD) Risk Factor Study, which has been following 2,315 middle-aged Finnish men for more than 20 years, those who used the sauna 4–7 times per week had a 66% lower risk of developing dementia and a 65% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, compared to men who reported using the sauna only once weekly.
In a randomised controlled trial of depressed individuals, those who received 4 weeks of sauna sessions experienced reduced symptoms of depression and participants in another randomised controlled trial who received a single session of heat therapy experienced an acute antidepressant effect that was apparent within 1 week of treatment and persisted for 6 weeks after treatment.
Deliberate heat exposure with regular sauna sessions can increase metabolism. This is the rate at which our bodies burns stored energy to keep us alive and allow us to move and function. One Finish study showed the metabolic rate increasing 25-33% during the sauna session and remaining elevated for several hours afterwards.
Ending each exercise session with a sauna will not only increase total calories spent, but helps our bodies to recover and repair. Infrared sauna can moderate the inflammation and pain associated with delayed on-set muscle soreness (DOMS). And then there's the well-documented evidence for sauna improving our quality of sleep, a vital component in healthy weight management.
Our skin is the body's largest organ, accounting for about 16% of our overall body mass. Skin protects us from infection, pollutants and UV rays, allows us to feel pain and pleasure and helps regulate our temperature.
Our skin also has an important role in eliminating harmful metabolites from our bodies. When we perspire, sweat glands help to expel metabolic waste such as urea and ammonia and stops these compounds from building up to harmful levels in our bodies.
The sauna industry loves the word detox. Some companies claim their saunas can eliminate toxins and heavy metals through the skin. Science generally disagrees. Although some studies have found occurrences of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury in sweat, we think most detox claims are a bit of an overreach.
Our bodies are actually very efficient at detoxification via the kidneys, liver and immune system. What we can be confident about is that regular use of sauna increases blood circulation and vasodilation which helps these vital organs and systems do their job.
