Sauna Therapy

Far Infrared & Traditional Finnish Sauna

We have both a Traditional Finnish sauna (with hot rocks - seating 8 ppl) in the back yard, and a Far Infrared Sauna (seating 2 max) inside in the ‘sun room’.

For thousands of years, saunas have been an integral part of wellness practices in Scandinavia, Russia, and among North American Indigenous communities. In Russia and Finland, there’s a saying: "Every day you take a sauna is a day you do not age."

Sauna therapy promotes detoxification by stimulating perspiration, helping the body eliminate toxins. While often misunderstood as a symptom of illness, fever is actually a natural healing response—activating the immune system while inhibiting bacterial and viral growth. Many of us have experienced the deep sense of relief and renewal that follows a fever passing. Saunas create a similar physiological response, often referred to as an "artificial fever."

Extensive research, particularly in Russia, Scandinavia, and Japan, highlights the numerous benefits of sauna therapy, including:

  • Enhanced circulation and detoxification

  • Strengthened immune function

  • Improved oxygenation of tissues and cells

  • Support for weight loss and post-exercise recovery

  • Better sleep quality

  • Nervous system regulation and stress reduction

  • Lower incidence of chronic ailments

Whether through traditional Finnish heat or far infrared technology, sauna therapy offers profound support for both body and mind.
