During a sauna, the temperature of the skin reaches 104 Fahrenheit and the internal body temperature reaches 100.4 Fahrenheit. This puts the body in a fever state which boosts the immune system, producing antibodies and white blood cells that fight off infection.
These steam baths are also used in the treatment of chronic pain and chronic fatigue. They help to alleviate muscle pain and relax tired muscles. Make sure to stay hydrated after a session in the sauna. You can lose up to a quart of water during a 20-minute sauna. Without replacement, such a high water loss can lead to fatigue and nausea. Therefore, drink fresh juice or water before, during and after your sweat session. Of course, It's important to consult with your physician first.
