    I've never understood that. If you just sweat, all your doing is losing water weight...but it's probably good for your skin, especially if you live in a dry climate.

    Just found this: http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0353.html
    Maybe it's worth a try?

    thanks for your reply :) so, i guess it's the water weight-loss they're after or yeah, maybe for the skin.

    I used to go to the sauna after a workout to de-stress. It does help with the pores in the skin, but I never stayed more than 10-15 mins. :)

    Sauna is a good way for your body to get rid of toxins, helps the kidney's and the liver's workload. Good for your heart,helps your immune system. As far as weight loss it doesn't help much, it's only water weight and you get that back when you drink.
    After workout it's a good way to relax and gets rid of the waste product created by exercise, as a result you will be less sore.
    You can google the benefist of sauna and you'll be suprised. I love it.
