SHOULD I USE A SAUNA IN SUMMER? Even if it is summer, the sauna can still help you burn calories, lose weight, improve your cardiovascular health and respiratory function, and of course, it relaxes muscles and allows body and mind to rejuvenate. So no matter how hot it gets this summer, don’t let the heat dissuade you from taking a nice relaxing time at The Cave. Raised body temperature from the heat of the sauna should be followed by a cooling shower. It will leave you feeling relaxed and balanced, and will actually make the heat of the summer easier for your body to handle.

Physically, nothing is more reinvigorating than a deep, healthy sweat every day. Tension fades. Muscles unwind. Mentally, we emerge relaxed, revived and ready for whatever the day may bring. The body responses to gentle, persistent heat by improving the blood circulation and releasing the endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s all-natural "feel good" chemical, and their release provides a truly wonderful "after sauna glow.”
