- csr86In Finland we have old saying: "If liquor, tar and sauna won’t help, an illness is fatal"
- cue_the_stringsAll of these studies are always performed by Finns (or SE / DK / NO + maybe Russia).I'd love to see this (and other sauna studies) replicated by someone somewhere to the south or hotter climates in general (southern Europe, Africa, hotter parts of Asia and the Americas).
- hattmall>mitigate the adverse effects of low socioeconomic statusMakes me wonder how much of it is Sauna, vs just the luxury of having the time to go do nothing for ~30 minutes.
- gchamonlive> A total of 51 adults (...) were exposed to a 30-minute session of acute FSB at a temperature of + 73°CWoah, that seems like a lot for me. I can usually stand maybe 60ºC for like 10 maybe 15 min. I don't think I'd be able to stand 30 min under 73ºC.
- bilsbieI’ve always wondered if it raises internal body temperature? Is it basically an induced fever?
- moltarAnecdotal evidence. But since I started doing sauna regularly (once a week) I started to get sick less. I’m talking colds or flues. And the ones I did catch were much milder. Even with sick family members around I’m not catching it as often.

- apiDoes a long hot bath do the same?
