With the exception of the New World, it is not as if Saunas are anything of a novel idea. Before there was "science" there was common sense and intuition.
European and Asian cultures have been utilizing the therapy for centuries, notably the Russians, Turks, Asians and Europeans - Romans and Greeks. They were creative enough to design the therapy as a combining of socialization, hygiene and the mentioned medicinal benefits. They also made it available to the masses. Westerners come along an suddenly there is a need to prove efficacy to establish belief of benefits. Nenah Sylver <nenahsyl...@verizon.net> wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan B.

Sweating moves the junk that has been dumped into the bloodstream, out through the sweat glands. There are hundreds and hundreds of studies (some of them 100 years old) showing the efficacy of sweating. When I was doing research on my book on sauna therapy, I was given a sauna cabinet. My hands-on experience made me a convert. The science backs up my experiences.
