Page 2 of 3 Your total resistance improves:
The cold shower after sauna will not make you sick and feels even pleasant since your body has acquired so much warmth and wants to get rid of it. This way your body is exposed to large fluctuations in temperature. If you do this regularly, you will build a natural resistance against it, which will protect you when encountering those fluctuations in temperature in daily living. By arousing much warmth in the body - such as an artificial fever response – your defence against viruses and bacteria is reinforced and the production of white blood cells is stimulated. Because of this, your immune system improves. If you would compare the number of colds that you have each year, you will see that this number drastically declines as soon as you become a regular sauna visitor. Even your resistance against influenza increases noticeably.
Stress and fatigue disappear and you become a vital person: Because your body warmth is raised, your blood vessels are widened which improves the blood circulation and as a result, the functioning of your organs improves. Or in other words, energy is stored in your body. You get a relaxed feeling and you sleep more easily after a sauna session.
Helps to treat bronchitis: Sauna has a positive influence on diseases concerning mucus formation in the bronchial tubes.
 Helps asthma patients:
Asthma attacks are caused by excessive muscle tension in the small trachea branches. Sauna relaxes exactly those muscles! After regular sauna visits, the number of asthma attacks decreases, also because the nerve system is favourably influenced. Sauna also stimulates the adrenal glands to produce more cortisol, which reduces the reactions that trigger the asthma attacks.
Helps diabetic patients: A common misunderstanding is that sauna would demand too much energy of diabetic patients, and that is not correctly. The energy to warm up the body comes from the infrared radiation. You do not have to strain yourself. Diabetic patients have an increased chance of developing arteriosclerosis. Sauna helps enormously because it widens and shrinks the blood vessels and this keeps them smoother and more resitant to arteriosclerosis.
Infrared sauna also ensures a better control of blood pressure and cholesterol: If your blood pressure is too high or too low, you can certainly also benefit from infrared sauna. It is, however, important that you know that you must stick to the rules. In the sauna your blood pressure will decrease because the blood vessels expand. When taking your cold shower, exactly the inverse happens. When you have high blood pressure, your pressure will decrease in the sauna stronger to a greater degree than people with normal blood pressure, and the other way round. If you don’t use the sauna according to the rules, then your blood pressure will fluctuate too strongly. Therefore pay attention: you must relax yourself, you must cool down yourself according to the directives after each sauna session. Summarising, we can say it the following way: sauna is healthy, also for your blood pressure, but using the rules in a correct way is important.
