Sweating the details: Sauna's potential health benefits
A group of international researchers is working to bring rigorous scientific study to the health benefits of saunas and heat therapies. Despite surging public interest and wellness trends, scientists note a lack of high-caliber evidence to support medical recommendations. Researchers aim to bridge the gap between age-old traditions and modern evidence-based medicine by exploring how the body reacts to extreme heat. Understanding thermoregulation could help validate heat therapy for preventing and treating chronic health conditions.
