Reduce Symptoms of Depression 

Research has found that regular sauna bathing actually has measurable positive effects on seratonin levels in our blood. Seratonin is the “happiness hormone” that effects our mood and behaviour. Having low levels of this hormone causes symptoms of depression.

“Lowry has identified a group of neurons in the brain that releases increased amounts of serotonin in the body when the body temperature is elevated. Serotonin is a so called endogenous neurotransmitter that affects our mood and our behavior. Almost all antidepressants work by activating our serotonin system.” TyloHelo Blog
