The largest organ on the human body is skin. One of the most important jobs of skin is to rid our system of toxins which it does everytime you sweat. Sweating is vital to remaining healthy and most people do not do enough sweating in todays soft life to rid their systems of these toxins. Sauna's and steam rooms are a way to increase the amount of sweating. However I never spend more than 20-45 mins in one at a time, as you can overheat and pass out.

Sweating helps you lose weight, also good for your skin, opens your pores (extra good if you bring down an astringent and use right when you are done, and your pores are open)

The purpose of the dry sauna is to sweat; if your grandson breaks a sweat early on, 20-30 minutes should be fine.  Just remind him to drink lots of water, during the sauna and afterward.

Saunas are a staple in Europe? So does everyone in Europe have one? Is there a gym with a sauna in every town in every country in every home in Europe? No. No. and No.\n\nIt sucks when you get questions instead of answers when you ask a question. Maybe that means you're question has flaws. :) and I see the poor European(see answer below) has a problem with the American..Too bad. Get over it.

Go for a swim and hit the sauna too.   Sometimes put my feet up, read a good book and play my favourite music.

no way... it makes you the laughing stock of all those who see you.Instead opt for a sauna.It's deceny and dignified.\n  No stomach crunches and cut down on fatty chocholates and ice-creams.Exercise and work out so as to sweat your guts out and you'll burn calories. Sit or stand erect, that way ,your posture burns extra calories, without you havinf to do special exercises for it.

i have discovered a trick,   steam sauna.   if you have access to one that is.   i usually have sinus infections that last for a month or so,  last year one came on and i went to my gym and sat in the steam sauna for about 20 minutes a day and it was clearing up within a couple of days of that and completely cleared up within a week.

The sauna belt does not work at all. It works by evaporating water in your body, meaning quick weight loss and dangerous dehydration. The weight lost comes back when you drink water. Try regular exercise and healthy eating to lose weight.

Yes it would benifit you. My sister has C.P. and I work at a spa and the message therapist here was just telling me that it would definently benefit as far as blood circulation and things like that. \nYou should definently look into it with your local people maybe you could even get an in home message, and also your insurance would probably cover it.

It's a health administration thing. A new law was passed that no pools, saunas, or steam rooms can operate 24 hours. Pools must run 6 hours with no one in them to give the chlorine time to kill bacteria. Sauna's now need to be turned off and scrubbed out, steam rooms must be shut off and dried out. It started four years ago when a scientist/dermatologist in Austria discovered that some of his clients were getting a skin fungus and traced it back to a sauna room. He then explored others..and now you know how we are being affect. Sorry! At least you know that when you do walk into a sauna, pool, and/or steam room that it's clean!

it helps keep the system clean. water is good for you, you cannot servive w/out water. if you drink it daily, you have to use the bathroom a lot, but this is good for the kidneys. it's good for the skin, & the more water in take, the less of bad breath you have(of coarse you still have to brush, but, water helps too)

Like a sauna belt?  Those things don't work.  To lose weight, you'll need to eat less and exercise more.

Actually it is good for you. It is good for your skin, and mind. Just so long as you aren't dependant on it.

Saunas are good for relaxing muscles in your body.  They are also good for releasing toxins in your body as you sweat. This is a huge benefit. Aroma therapy in generally used for mind and sould.  Certain scents are proven to sooth, relax and calm your body- this would be a good place to do yoga for relaxation.  I'm not too sure what the benefit of a steam room would be... hmm

Aloe works good and is good for your skin and helps heal if you "rub" a little hard. And doesn't stain or make to much mess.
