Saunas and their influence on the immune system
Saunas are beneficial. They strengthen the immune system, relax muscles, relieve pain and improve sleep. However, each type of sauna has a different effect. The decisive factor is your own needs.
Heat gently stimulates the body. Blood circulation increases. Muscles relax. Airways open up. The immune system and metabolism become more active. Many people sleep more deeply after a sauna and wake up feeling more refreshed.
Finnish sauna: the hot classic
The classic sauna (80 to 100 °C) uses dry heat. It triggers heavy sweating and helps with tension and back pain. Joints also benefit. Those who like heat will find deep relaxation here. Those with circulatory problems, not so much. Installation, energy consumption and lead time are medium to high, depending on the model.
Steam sauna: beneficial for the respiratory tract
Moist heat (40 to 55 °C) cares for the mucous membranes and makes breathing easier. It soothes irritated skin and is suitable for people who want warmth but not heat. However, a steam sauna requires more maintenance and a longer lead time.
Bio sauna: mild and relaxing
The bio sauna (50 to 65 °C) combines light humidity with moderate heat. It cares for the skin and respiratory tract and allows for longer sessions. With aromatherapy, it has a particularly calming effect. The effort and energy required are moderate.
Infrared sauna: gentle and versatile deep heat
Infrared cabins (35 to 45 °C) heat the body directly. The therapeutic radiant heat penetrates deeper than sauna heat, relieves tension, alleviates joint pain and can help with rheumatism. It strengthens the immune system and lymph flow without straining the heart and circulation. Many people use them to improve their sleep or to regenerate after sport. All you need is a power socket, the cabin is ready in a few minutes and is energy efficient.
Conclusion
All types of sauna promote health. Each one has a different effect. Those who love heat choose the Finnish sauna. Those looking for mild warmth will find well-being in the bio sauna. Those who want to relieve their respiratory tract will benefit from steam. Those who want therapeutic and versatile deep heat should opt for the infrared sauna. The decisive factor is not the technology, but your own needs – and regularity.
