WHY SAUNA IS SO GOOD FOR YOU

Using controlled heat exposure with regular infrared sauna sessions has many proven benefits for the body and mind, mostly due to the phenomena of hormesis or hormetic stress adaptation.

sweat it out

Our skin is the body's largest organ, accounting for about 16% of our overall body mass. Skin protects us from infection, pollutants and UV rays, allows us to feel pain and pleasure and helps regulate our temperature.
Our skin also has an important role in eliminating harmful metabolites from our bodies. When we perspire, sweat glands help to expel metabolic waste such as urea and ammonia and stops these compounds from building up to harmful levels in our bodies.

about that word 'detox'

The sauna industry loves the word detox. Some companies claim their saunas can eliminate toxins and heavy metals through the skin. Science generally disagrees. Although some studies have found occurrences of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury in sweat, we think most detox claims are a bit of an overreach.

Our bodies are actually very efficient at detoxification via the kidneys, liver and immune system. What we can be confident about is that regular use of sauna increases blood circulation and vasodilation which helps these vital organs and systems do their job.

Fire up that metabolism

Deliberate heat exposure with regular sauna sessions can increase metabolism. This is the rate at which our bodies burns stored energy to keep us alive and allow us to move and function. One Finish study showed the metabolic rate increasing 25-33% during the sauna session and remaining elevated for several hours afterwards.

keep everything moving

Ending each exercise session with a sauna will not only increase total calories spent, but helps our bodies to recover and repair. Infrared sauna can moderate the inflammation and pain associated with delayed on-set muscle soreness (DOMS). And then there's the well-documented evidence for sauna improving our quality of sleep, a vital component in healthy weight management.

heat up and chill out

One of the most common questions we get asked is, why do I feel so good after sauna?
Both clinical and anecdotal evidence shows that sauna helps us to relax, lifts our mood and our sense of well-being. Our bodies respond to the penetrative heat of infrared sauna by increasing production of several hormones and neurotransmitters that are responsible for the pleasurable and soothing effects of a sauna, and improving mood, focus and attention. Plus, regular sauna can help regulate the stress hormone cortisol.

sauna is good for the brain

Sauna bathing is associated with reduced risk of developing age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease (KIHD) Risk Factor Study, which has been following 2,315 middle-aged Finnish men for more than 20 years, those who used the sauna 4–7 times per week had a 66% lower risk of developing dementia and a 65% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, compared to men who reported using the sauna only once weekly.

improve mental health

In a randomised controlled trial of depressed individuals, those who received 4 weeks of sauna sessions experienced reduced symptoms of depression and participants in another randomised controlled trial who received a single session of heat therapy experienced an acute antidepressant effect that was apparent within 1 week of treatment and persisted for 6 weeks after treatment.

reduce tension headaches

Regular sauna improves headache disorders. In one study, 37 people with chronic tension-type headache were randomised to undergo regular sauna sessions or advice and education for a period of 8 weeks, and sauna therapy was found to substantially improve headache intensity.

cardio-health

the benefits are heartfelt

The Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease (KIHD) Study, which has been following 2,315 middle-aged Finnish men for more than 20 years, found that those men who frequented saunas the most (four to seven times per week) had a significantly lower risk of sudden cardiac death, fatal coronary heart disease, and fatal cardiovascular disease compared to those who visited saunas less frequently. The study found that increased sauna use was also associated with a 40% reduction in all-cause mortality.

the stationary workout

Infrared sauna can benefit cardiovascular health in a similar way to exercise. Our heart rate has been shown to increase up to 100 beats per minute during a moderate-temperature sauna sessions and up to 150 beats per minute during hotter sessions. This is similar to the increases observed during moderate and intensive physical exercise.

reduced risk of stroke

A study in 1628 men and women followed for 15 years, found that having regular sauna (4-7 sessions/wk) compared with 1 sauna session/wk was associated with an approximately 62% reduced risk of incident stroke.

Heat-Shock Proteins

Deliberate heat expose with Infrared sauna activates expression of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP), also called stress proteins. They act like a cellular SAS force, coordinating, reorganising and stabilising cells. They can also stop viruses from reproducing and regulate inflammation. Regular sauna use has also been show to increases white blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil, and basophil counts.

mimicking the immune response

One of the ways our immune system kills off pathogens is to raise our body temperature with a fever. Infrared sauna also raises core temperature mimicking the natural healing response. One study by the British Medical Association found that people who take regular saunas reduce their incidence of colds and influenza by 65%. Another six-month study found that people who engaged in regular sauna baths had significantly fewer colds than the control group over the same time period.

better immunity as we age

Regular sauna may reduce the risk of age-related decline in immune function. It does this by inducing a protective response that helps to maintain healthy communication between cells and tissues, reducing the chances of infection or other age-related illnesses.

The Hot & Cold of Hormetic Stress

Using exposure to heat and cold to improve health is nothing new. Almost all civilizations have incorporated some form of it over the centuries. What is new, is our understanding of how and why it is so beneficial — the phenomena of hormesis or hormetic stress.

the adaptive response

Hormesis is the biological process that describes the way our bodies adapt to certain types of stress. This adaptive response triggers biochemical pathways to repair, rebuild and re-set. It leads to improvements in resilience, immunity and general physical and mental wellbeing. Hormetic adaptation is central to the benefits of intensive exercise, fasting and certain nutrients.

The Role of Hormetic Tech

Exposure to controlled levels of heat or cold is one of the most effective ways to harness the power of hormesis. And with purpose-made hormetic technology like Found—Space infrared saunas and ice baths it has never been easier incorporate these therapies into your lifestyle.

More heaters = More light = Quicker benefits

Your body will receive more red light and full spectrum infrared light in a Nu-a than any other sauna. This was achieved by installing as many as ten Sentiotec® Full Spectrum Infrared heaters in the Nu-a IV.

More light emitted means more light landing on your body which maximises the health benefits you’re after in less time. More light also reduces heat up times and reduces the initial time to sweat.

You feel hotter, quicker.

Low-emf,-full-spectrum

Analogue, Full Spectrum Light.

Our Sentiotec® designed heaters combine red light therapy, near infrared, mid infrared and far infrared to maximise health benefits in as short a time as possible.

Using a proprietary heater casing design, Nu-a Full Spectrum heaters also emit a wider angle of light than other full spectrum heaters. This means more of your body is bathed in light and heat.

Warranty

High Heat Density

How hot a sauna feels is a measured by heat density. Nu-a has some of the highest heat density figures of any Found—Space sauna.

We believe that saunas should be able to make you really hot. Although not all infrared saunas do this.

Anything over 850 W/m³ is a nice, hot sauna.

Nu-a feels really hot due to thicker timbers, additional heaters and laminated glass.

Nu-a heat density per unit:
Nu-a II 1131 W/m³
Nu-a III 922 W/m³
Nu-a IV 873 W/m³
