Sauna are hazardous to individual with High or low blood pressure and heart disease, and individuals under the influence of alcohol or drugs and pregnant women should avoid saunas. Don’t take a sauna when you are ill, and if you feel unwell during your sauna, step out. Use of a sauna for 10-15 mints will increase your heart rate up to 75%. The result is the same as physical exercise and increased cardiac load, equivalent to a brisk walk. Heat also causes blood vessels in skin to expand and become more flexible and increase circulation to the extremities, which brings nutrients to subcutaneous and surface tissue. Frequent Sauna bathing may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other forms of Dementia.
