Come enjoy our sauna! Studies show that people who enjoy a sauna 4-7 times per week have a 63% reduction in sudden cardiac death and 50% reduction in death from all causes. It is thought that sauna benefits health by assisting removal of toxins from the body. A study published in 2016 showed that sauna helps with elimination of pesticides (organophosphates) from the body. Exposure to pesticide residues is thought to be a significant risk factor for many chronic diseases.
