Who does the dry sauna regularly?

[*zap*]

Realize or know of any good things coming from this?

Thanks in advance.

I sit in a steam a few times a week. I sweat my ass off, it seems to loosen me up a bit. It can be good when you are dealing with congestion as long as you hydrate well afterwords, if you dont, it makes things worse.

Take a look at Dr. Rhonda Patrick's videos on the benefits of saunas. I really like to use one regularly and although I'm not positive it has huge impacts, it definitely makes me feel good overall.

I use the dry sauna and steam room regularly. Both seem to loosen up and also help with congestion. As I get older it really helps.

I’ve been using a dry sauna 1-2 times per week for about a month now. I follow it up with a cold shower (as cold as it goes). Also been sitting in a cold water tank once a week (water temp between 33-38 lately). I feel good! I’ll keep doing because I enjoy it.

I have a banya, which is basically a framed and sheathed and paneled shed type structure. A wood stove rest on a brick hearth with stretcher block surrounding the wood stove, excepting the doors and top. On top rest a 25 gallon stainless steel water trough. A bench on either side of the space. Two five gallon buckets, one for washing and one for rinsing a large bowl for either side.

It beats the pants off of a dry sauna. The heat and sweating action just can’t be beat. When you get too hot, sit on the floor, or spend a few minutes in the cold changing room. Nothing finer after a long day of moose hunting or running a trap line. The apartments I’m in right now have a dry sauna, and while it’s nice, it never gets as hot as I want.

I heard they don’t drop for everyone.

If you can sit on them then it’s time for the sauna.

I have a traditional sauna. I do a light circuit for a couple rounds in the AM and then hop in. In 12-15 minutes I’m drenched. I don’t like doing it at night because I get a little too wound up and it’s hard for me to sleep.

I know I feel great on the days I do it. Cognitive clarity and energy are for sure noticeably different. I run a construction company and if I’ve got any big meetings that day you can bet I’m in the sauna that morning.

I sauna 4-5 times a week for 15-30 minutes a session. I feel great and think it helps with inflammation. I too cold shower post sauna. A lot of studies out there say it helps prevent dementia/ heart disease. Also make you mentally tough imho. The sauna I frequent hovers around 195, I'll toss my earbuds in and listen to a podcast (I leave my phone outside the sauna or it will overheat but I have yet to burn up earbuds, YMMV). Not to derail the thread but does anyone do Cryo regularly?

the sauna regularly for a month now is clearing up my sinus. which is a vgt.

When you can’t sit down to crap anymore because your balls fall in the toilet water…. I’m live gone to far and it’s too late for you.

I'm lucky to have a sauna at the house. I try to use it everyday, but realistically probably 25 times per month, I miss a night here and there. I keep a blue tooth speaker in there and listen to music, usually 25-35 minutes. Most of the time I follow it up with an ice cold shower. If there's snow on the ground, I usually forgo the cold shower and I'll roll in the snow for 10-15 seconds, usually 2 to 3 times (need fresh powder for this). I get a much bigger body high from rolling in the snow than the cold shower.

In regards to benefits, I've been doing this for 2 years now and when I get sick, it's not as long or severe as those around me. It also keeps my body limber and I feel much better overall since I started this.

I've been hitting the sauna at the gym 3-4 times a week for the last couple years. Makes you feel great. I like it enough i started building one in my garage a couple weeks ago that's almost complete.

I have one at home and hit it almost every morning. Great start to your morning routine.
