Lucky feeling!

In addition to all the physical effects, you also become happier from a day in the sauna. It is scientifically proven that your body produces the happiness hormone serotonin during a day in the sauna.

Serotonin is a body's own neurotransmitter that creates a good mood, reduces pain, deeper sleep and better memory.

Cleansing effect

The most well-known effect of sauna visits is that it helps detoxify your body, or also called detoxing.

As your body temperature rises, you sweat and waste products are disposed of faster. Your body becomes clean from the inside out.
