Sweat Your Way to Wellness: The Incredible Health Benefits of Saunas |
Your level of sweating is greatly diminished in the fall as many outdoor activities are put on hold until next spring.
A weekly sauna visit (no more than 15 minutes in the heat please!) encourages you to sweat, thus remoisturizing your skin and bringing back the healthy glow of summer.
Cold causes muscles and tissue to contract and pull inward, making it extra hard for fluids and nutrients to circulate throughout your many tissues and organs. This tightness includes the smooth muscle tissue of your colon, making bowel movements more difficult.
A weekly sauna reminds your muscles, arteries and intestines to open and relax to allow blood and bowel movements to flow smoothly.
Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
STRONG VASODILATOR A vasodilator is an herb that widens the blood vessels by the relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, thereby increasing circulation systemically or to a local area.
Sit in the Sauna may be beneficial for these symptoms. The suitability of any herb supplement for a condition is highly dependent on the individual. Please see your doctor before using this herb supplement to treat a medical condition.
