When we sweat out of all our pores during a sauna session, it is our skin that benefits the most. Because the heat in the sauna does our body a lot of good: the skin no longer dries out so quickly, is optimally supplied with blood and, last but not least, our immune system is also strengthened in the long term. Reason enough, therefore, to take a closer look at the subject of saunas.
A touch of warmth, the scent of wood and the pleasant feeling on the skin – the sauna has been a place of relaxation and recreation for centuries. But in addition to relieving stress and promoting blood circulation, the question also arises: can the sauna also help against rough skin?
“The sauna is the poor man’s pharmacy,” as the Finnish proverb goes. To call the sauna a pharmacy or even a holistic form of therapy is by no means an exaggeration. It is good for body and soul and health complaints can be improved. Here, regular visits to the sauna achieve the best effect. The ideal is to visit at least once a week.
Sauna sessions have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system and the body’s defenses. In addition, our skin benefits in many ways from the hot and cold stimuli. Should people with neurodermatitis therefore also go to the sauna regularly?
A visit to the sauna is really good for the circulation. If you do it regularly, you can even relieve your high blood pressure – and a lot more. Then why not combine the pleasant with the useful.
