How a Sauna May Help You Detoxify
Raising your body’s temperature helps it kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.
Dr. Lawrence Wilson has done tons of research and testing with saunas. In his book, Sauna Therapy for Detoxification and Healing, he wrote that heating your body several degrees causes increased circulation as your body fights to stay at its basal temperature. This helps dislodge toxins, especially from areas that are hard to reach (like teeth, bones and sinuses).
Liver and kidney functions may also improve by taking saunas.
How a Sauna Benefits Your Immune System
You may have heard that taking a sauna creates an artificial ‘fever’.
Your immune system is always active, but a fever causes it to kick in to high gear.
What follows is an increase in your body’s production of disease fighting allies like white blood cells and antibodies.

How a Sauna Benefits Blood Circulation
As your body increases sweat production to keep cool, your heart works harder pumping more blood at a greater rate. This actually provides many of the conditioning benefits of aerobic exercise.
Please understand that saunas cannot replace exercise, but the heat does provide an environment that causes a profound cardiovascular response.
Dr. Andrew Weil is a highly respected holistic practitioner and true expert in health and wellness.
In an article that he wrote, he said that the sauna heat pumps up blood circulation near the skin and enhances sweating.
He quoted the Finns as saying that a sauna can elicit about a quart of sweat an hour.
Dr. Weil encourages sweating because it helps your body rid itself of harmful material and improves circulation.
Good Blood Circulation Helps:
- Transport nutrients throughout your body
- Eliminate toxins
- Improve heart, liver and kidney function
- Improve virtually every function in your body
Enhanced Respiratory System
Steam saunas open up the airways, stimulate discharge of mucous from the throat and lungs and prevent mucous membranes from drying out. All of these factors allow individuals to breathe easier.
Strengthened Immune System
The steam in a steam sauna opens up pores, allowing the skin to sweat out toxins that could cause illnesses. The high temperature of a steam sauna causes an artificial fever, which sends a ‘wake-up call’ to the immune system and increases an individual’s white blood cell count.
Improved Skin
Steam opens up the pores of the skin, allowing impurities and toxins to flush themselves out of the body. The steam also hydrates and moisturizes the skin, making steam saunas particularly beneficial to people with dry skin.
Increased Blood Circulation
The heat in a steam sauna causes blood vessels to expand, which, in turn, increases blood circulation. This increased circulation is thought to provide many of the conditioning benefits of cardiovascular exercise.
Eliminated Toxins
Steam saunas induce perspiration, which is how the body purges itself of toxins and impurities. The heat of the steam causes the body’s temperature to rise, which can help kill any virus, bacteria, fungus and parasite in the body.
Relaxed Muscles
The heat from the steam warms and relaxes tense muscles. This relaxation helps to reduce stress levels, revive mental clarity and improve overall physical and emotional health.
