You sit in dry heat (usually somewhere between 80–100°C), sweat a bit, and come out feeling like someone’s pressed your reset button.
What’s it good for, then?
1. Helps with aches and pains
Got stiff shoulders? Achy back? Legs that feel like you’ve climbed Ben Nevis (but really just walked the dog)? The heat helps your muscles relax and eases the tension in your joints.
2. Gets your blood moving
The heat gets your circulation going, which helps your body recover faster. It’s like giving your insides a gentle nudge to get back to work — without needing three coffees to do it.
3. Clears your head
Literally and mentally. The warmth helps open up the airways if you're feeling a bit bunged up, and the peaceful atmosphere gives your brain a chance to stop whirring for five minutes.
4. Helps you sleep better
After a sauna session, your body’s nice and relaxed, which makes it easier to drift off. You might even snore like a content Labrador — but that’s someone else’s problem.
5. Boosts your mood
Sauna time gives you a break from screens, stress, and the general chaos of life. You step out calmer, clearer, and maybe even a bit smug that you’ve done something good for yourself.
Straightforward and effective – just how we like it
In Finland, saunas are part of daily life — and they might be onto something. No fluff, no faff, just sit down, warm up, switch off, and let your body thank you later.
So next time you’re feeling knackered, stressed, or just fancy a bit of peace and quiet — get yourself in that sauna. Towel, water, and maybe a quiet “ahhh” when you sit down — that’s all you need.

Right then. Let’s talk about cold water therapy — or as we like to call it up here in Yorkshire: “jumpin’ in’t freezing water and pretending it’s good for you.”
