Benefits of a Sauna
saunas are not just about the connection with community,
they have some amazing health benefits too.
Improves sleep quality & relaxation
Regular sauna use promotes deeper, more restful sleep by relaxing the body and reducing stress levels. The calming heat helps ease muscle tension, allowing you to unwind and prepare for a better night’s sleep.
Supports your heart health
Sauna sessions can benefit cardiovascular health by improving circulation and reducing blood pressure. The heat causes blood vessels to dilate, enhancing blood flow and promoting heart health over time.
Supercharges your cells
The heat exposure in a sauna stimulates cellular repair and regeneration, enhancing overall cellular function. This boost can lead to increased energy levels and improved metabolic processes.
Improves circulation
The warm environment of a sauna increases blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissues. This improved circulation can aid in muscle recovery and overall vitality.
Boosts your immune system
Regular sauna use may enhance the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells. This boost can help your body fight off illnesses and promote overall health.
Increases your brain power
Sauna sessions can enhance cognitive function by improving blood circulation to the brain. This increased flow supports mental clarity, focus, and overall brain health, making you feel sharper and more alert.
The Sauna Ritual
Each sauna session at Salma Sauna lasts one hour, thoughtfully designed to maximize your wellness experience.
You'll enjoy invigorating sauna sessions interspersed with short breaks of 5 to 10 minutes, allowing you to cool off and refresh with a dip in the ocean or an ice bath.
We welcome you every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, offering hourly time slots for groups of up to six people per session. Join us for an unforgettable journey of relaxation and rejuvenation by the beach!
