Benefits

The many social benefits for sauna-goers include relieving a person’s stress, providing a connection to the traditions of an ethnic past this complex and fast-paced new world, and offering a community center for people to gather together and enjoy themselves. But the greatest benefits of saunas are the health benefits. From the father of medicine, Hippocrates, who said that a “steam bath helps to cure diseases when all other means are helpless,” to modern thinkers such as Nobel Prize winner August Krogh, who discovered the benefits of steam in opening up the body’s capillaries and increasing blood flow, the health benefits of saunas cannot be denied. These benefits include a reduction of a person’s stress level and the removal of unwanted materials from the body via the sweat glands. The heat and sweating also improve the work of kidneys, which serve to remove excess water from the body. Other benefits include an improvement in the smoothness of skin as pores open up and oils leave the skin, a bolstering of the immune system, and an increase in circulation, which leads to better digestion and better blood flow to vital organs and joints.
Hippocrates said, “Give me a fever and I can cure any disease.” Come into the Russian Banya of Dallas and let us heal your body and mind by stimulating a “fever” in our saunas that feels incredible and relaxing at the same time!
