A sauna session promotes the production of sweat as it results in deep sweating. However, it does not help you to lose weight; it only temporarily removes water from the body in the form of sweat. The heat from the sauna bath makes your body sweat and sweating, in turn, can make you lose fluid. It is also important to hydrate yourself after a sauna session as dehydration causes your body to retain water weight which does not help in shedding the extra pounds.

Saunas help to flush toxins through the sweating process. When we do not actively work out daily, we do not sweat much daily, but deep sweating has many health benefits including increased blood flow. The deep sweat benefits are possible to achieve through regular sauna sessions. During a sauna bath, the heat causes the core body temperature to increase in turn causing an increased blood circulation with the heat reaching the skin surface. The nervous system stimulates sweat glands which then produce sweat. Sweat reduces all toxins absorbed from just being present, working, and commuting from our homes to our offices, basically by being in our daily environments, for example, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, and mercury.
