Colds and viruses flourish in the colder months, and it is especially important to support the body’s immune system during this time. And one of the ways you can do this is by using a sauna.
The body, exposed to the heat of the sauna and steam, will produce white blood cells faster – and this increases its ability to fight disease and kill viruses.
Saunas are also an effective treatment for sinus infections – they can relieve the stubborn symptoms of sinus disease that result from a cold or allergies.
The best results can be observed when such a bath is enriched with essential oils, such as eucalyptus.
With this action, steam is able to clear congestion and help get rid of mucus in the respiratory tract.
