Your sanctuary awaits: sauna use may help manage common symptoms of menopause.:

  • Alleviates hot flashes and night sweats: Regular heat exposure can help regulate the body's internal thermostat, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of hot flashes.

  • Reduces anxiety and improves mood: By activating the parasympathetic nervous system and releasing endorphins, saunas can lower stress hormones like cortisol and ease mood swings.

  • Soothes joint pain: Heat increases blood flow to muscles and joints, which can help relax tense muscles and relieve aches associated with menopause.

  •  Boosts skin health: Declining estrogen levels during menopause can cause the skin to lose collagen. Infrared saunas may help stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
