Feeling Hot?
When you get sick, your body often develops a fever. While high fevers are a cause of concern, it's not necessarily because of the fever itself – it's because of the toxins your body is trying to fight off.
A fever is your body's natural defense mechanism to rid it of the germs and toxins that make you sick. A sauna “induces fever” by temporarily raising your body temperature in a controlled environment.
By inducing fever, your body is able to ward off more invading organisms than normal. Therefore, induced fever by sauna boosts your immune system, making you less susceptible to colds, flu, and other illnesses.
Because raising your body temperature for a prolonged period can damage your body, make sure you only stay in a sauna for 20-30 minutes at a time.
