The benefits of a sauna on our health and well-being
A sauna relieves muscular pain, rheumatism and eliminates toxins
When in contact with the heat, the dilated vessels bring more oxygen to the joints and promote the elimination of toxins in the body. The heat also relaxes muscular tensions.
The sauna speeds up recovery time after physical effort and increases physical performance
Sweating removes toxins and increases blood flow to tired and tense muscles, thus increasing recovery time and relaxation.
Regular sauna sessions increase tolerance to heat, which in turn significantly improves sports performance, maintaining high energy levels over a long period of time.
A sauna for radiant skin and hair
Under the effect of the heat, the pores of the skin dilate, eliminating toxins and dead skin through perspiration. The skin becomes softer and more supple.
After a while, our scalp (sebaceous gland) releases a natural reaction improving the softness and shine of our hair.
A sauna for a stronger immune system and less stress
Sauna sessions promote the production of white blood cells and antibodies, thus protecting us against infections. By boosting our immune system, they protect us from chronic stress.
The blood pressure and cardiovascular system are stimulated, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Sauna helps with weight loss and toxins
Sweating helps purify the liver and kidneys and promotes weight loss as the metabolism increases and therefore burns more calories.
For the most efficient way to reduce cellulite, we recommend the following treatment:
Combine a sauna session with a special lymphatic drainage balneotherapy session. Then finish with a massage from Camille to enjoy maximum benefits.
A sauna is a moment of well-being
The heat releases endorphins that help with sleep and relaxation.
The sauna improves both physical and psychological well-being. A moment where you can truly let go, with countless health benefits.
