Sauna Enhances Short-Term Immunity
A recent Finnish study showed that sauna sessions lead to a temporary increase in the number of white blood cells that protect the body against infection, with the level of these cells rising for about 30 minutes after the session and disappearing after approximately half an hour. This means that the effect on immunity is not sustainable in the long term. The researchers confirmed that this effect is similar to the physiological response during moderate physical activity. However, sauna use cannot replace health-promoting methods such as exercise, a healthy diet, and vaccinations. They called for broader research to study the effects of regular use on immunity and overall health.
