The Incredible Benefits of Sauna Therapy
I believe all saunas can be healing sanctuaries. The heat lifts your spirits mentally and emotionally as well as being incredibly nourishing for your soul. Adding good company into the mix makes the healing benefits of sauna more potent and magical, as we get to connect with one another, without distractions, we can be our authentic selves and that’s when conversations run deep.
Sauna is also a wonderful tonic for the skin especially when combined with one of The Little Heat Retreat’s organic clay face masks or exfoliating body scrubs. There is so much more to sauna than just increased relaxation, and reduced stress.
Book a session at The Little Heat Retreat and discover the transformative power of this ancient practice.

The Benefits
Relaxation and Stress Relief
The sauna heat helps to relax muscles and reduce tension. It can also lower the body’s levels of the stress hormone cortisol, reducing stress and anxiety.
Connecting with People
The Celestial Sauna and Drop-In Sauna sessions are beautiful ways to connect with other like-minded people. Your words may inspire others, or you may be inspired. You may make new connections. If you feel called to come along, follow your feelings!
Improved Skin Health
The heat and sweating associated with sauna help improve skin health by opening up pores, increasing blood flow, and promoting a brighter and healthier complexion. Body scrubs are a great way to remove dead skin cells and encourage skin rejuvenation. Regular sauna sessions can even help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. What’s not to love about that?!
Anti-Ageing Benefits
Deep heat helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. These two factors are significant contributors to the ageing process. By reducing them, saunas can help slow the ageing process and keep people looking and feeling younger for longer!
Boosts Endorphins
Saunas have been found to increase levels of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers and mood boosters. Embracing the cold shower can also help boost endorphins. Flowing from the hot to the cold has so many health benefits.
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Saunas can help to improve cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and blood flow.
Enhanced Immune Function
Sauna use has been found to boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, which help to fight off infections and illnesses.
Detoxification
Sauna bathing can help detoxify the body by increasing sweating and eliminating toxins and other harmful substances.
Pain Relief
Sauna use can effectively reduce pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain conditions.
