Key Health & Wellness Benefits of Saunas
Whether you’re using a sauna for recovery, relaxation, or everyday wellness, the physical and mental benefits are real—and backed by research. Here’s a closer look at how saunas support your overall well-being:
Improved Circulation
The heat from a sauna session causes your blood vessels to widen, which increases blood flow throughout the body. This enhanced circulation helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs. Over time, regular sauna use may also support lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health—making it a simple, effective habit for heart-conscious users.
Stress Relief & Mental Clarity
Saunas create an environment that promotes calm—quiet, warm, and free of distractions. The heat triggers the release of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals, while also reducing cortisol, the stress hormone. Many sauna users report feeling mentally refreshed and emotionally balanced after each session, even if just for 15–20 minutes.
Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief
Sauna heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, helping to relax tension, ease soreness, and reduce inflammation. This makes saunas especially helpful after workouts, sports, or long hours spent on your feet. For those with chronic pain or stiffness, regular sauna use may offer ongoing relief without medication.
Detoxification
As your body sweats, it naturally expels impurities like heavy metals, environmental toxins, and waste products through your skin. While your liver and kidneys handle most detox work, sauna-induced sweating adds another layer of support—giving your body a chance to reset and rebalance from the inside out.
Healthier Skin
Sweating helps unclog pores and remove surface-level buildup, leading to clearer skin over time. Saunas also boost circulation to the skin, which can improve tone, elasticity, and overall appearance. Infrared saunas are particularly gentle on the skin while delivering these benefits, making them a great option for those with sensitive or dry skin.
Better Sleep
A sauna session in the evening can help you wind down more naturally. The drop in body temperature after leaving the sauna mimics your body’s normal sleep signal, helping you fall asleep faster and experience deeper rest. Many users find it easier to stick to a healthy nighttime routine when sauna use is part of it.
Choosing the Right Type of Sauna
Saunas aren’t one-size-fits-all—and that’s a good thing. Whether you prefer high heat, gentle warmth, or something in between, Tylö saunas offer a range of options to match your lifestyle and wellness goals. Here’s a breakdown of what to consider:
Traditional Saunas
If you're looking for that classic, high-heat experience, a traditional sauna is the way to go. These saunas use heated rocks to create a dry heat that can reach 180°F or more. They're great for deep sweating, intense detox, and a meditative escape.

Reflection™ Series

Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas work differently—they use gentle infrared waves to warm your body directly without significantly heating the air. Sessions typically run at 120–140°F, making them ideal for users who are heat-sensitive or focused on circulation, skin health, and relaxation.
