The Island Sauna Portland
Muscle Pain and Recovery
For those who enjoy working out, muscle recovery is vital. Inflammation can occur when muscles are overworked or we live a life ‘on the go’.
The penetrating heat from the sauna increases blood circulation and a sense of ease.
Improved Sleep Quality
Being in the sauna stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for ‘rest and digestion’.
A one-off sauna may promote a great sleep but regular exposure will teach the body to enter this state with ease.
Dementia
It is reported that taking a sauna up to 4 times a week will reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease or dementia by as much as two thirds.
The science is the more frequent the sauna, the less likely you are to be diagnosed.
Heart Health
Being in the sauna increases the heart rate, causing the blood vessels to dilate, to open up and general circulation is increased as the body attempts to keep itself cool. There is a sense of everything flowing more freely and the effect is similar to about of moderate exercise – without moving an inch. Great for folk with limited mobility.

Anxiety Management
Cortisol is the primary stress hormone in the body. We need it to know when we are in danger but too much keeps us in a heightened state of anxiety. As we heat up, cortisol levels drop, muscles relax and the mind can return to equilibrium, a steady state. This is truly helpful in managing anxiety and the pressures of a busy life.
Detox and Feel Great
Sweating flushes out toxins and impurities that are part of the every day.
This detox process clears the lymphatic system, stimulating the body to burn fat and create space for more of the good stuff to flow. We feel more alive, with more energy and greater focus and clarity!
