Could you explain the apparent contradictions between this article and https://selfhacked.com/blog/the-science-of-detoxification-phase-3/ in which sweating for detox is said to be a myth?

Hey Aleksa, thanks for sharing all this information. It’s a great article, backed by so much research. Just wanted to add something to the dehydration bit. I typically carry a smoothie made of ginger, avocado, lemon juice and apple. I have this after drinking some water. The smoothie also aids the detox process.

Great article! However, saunas as weight loss therapy are highly controversial. Although it does help in reducing water retention, some spas have taken that concept too far. Saunas are ideal for increasing blood circulation, relaxing muscles and clearing nasal pathways among many other benefits.

In reply to Dustin.

Hi Dustin, one of the ways saunas work is via hormesis–sauna use acts as a quick, mild stressor that preps your body for larger stressors in the long run.
Check out our post about hormesis (https://selfhacked.com/blog/ideas-hormesis/) and this scientific article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5941775/) for a detailed explanation of the possible mechanisms behind the health benefits of saunas!

Maybe you can help clear this up, but this article states that sauna use both increases and lowers cortisol production. Any insight?

“Sauna use relieves pain by increasing the release of anti-inflammatory hormones like noradrenaline, adrenaline, cortisol, and IGF-1.”

“Regular sauna use has been shown to be a useful anti-stress strategy by lowering cortisol and ACTH levels [43, 30].”

Great article guys. However, I can’t find the link to the Infrared Sauna Joe recommends?

What about Bio-Mats, that is Infrared? I presume this would cause similar benefits to a sauna? I live in NYC and can’t have a sauna in the condo but the Bio-Mat is conducive to my environment.

The problem with steam rooms is you are breathing chlorine, fluoride, and other toxins unless they have installed a good filtration system.

Do IR saunas cause heat shock protein production or is that only traditional saunas? Is it one or the other when it comes to IR benefits vs. traditional benefits? My gym has what looks like an electric heater of some kind in theirs. I could buy a portable IR sauna for far infrared waves, but am I sacrificing the benefits of heat shock proteins?
