SaunaSitting in a sweat bath could be the most vigorous activity you've had all day. The heat produces an artificial fever and urges every organ of the body into action. While outwardly relaxed your inner organs are as active as though you were jogging or mowing the lawn. At the same time, you are being cleansed from inside out by the skin, your body's largest organ, and its exoretion, sweat. Sweating is as essential to our health as eating and breathing. It accomplishes three important things: rids the body of wastes, regulates the critical temperature of the body at 98.6 degrees F, and helps keep the skin clean and pliant. It is common knowledge that many bacterial and viral agents do not survive well at temperatures higher than normal body temperature. It is also possible that damaged cells repair themselves quicker in fever conditions due to the increased metabolic rate. Recovery from illness then becomes easier and quicker.
