Is there any benefit to doing either a dry or wet sauna?
Please only reply if you are certain of the benefits. I want to make sure this is healthy and what it achieves for me physically.
Thanks! :happy:

Saunas aid in muscle recovery and in relieving toxins from the body. It is not however, a weight loss tool. If you use them, you should go in no more than 15-20 minutes, and drink several cups of water before and after to make sure you don't get dehydrated.
They are especially good to use to deal with muscle soreness from working out.0 -
Thanks, that is what I had basically deduced from what I have read. There is a lot of crap out there talking about other health benefits, but in my scientific mind I couldn't put my head around it.0

They're also really really nice! (that's a benefit as far as I'm concerned!)
I miss my old gym purely for the steam-room.0 -
