Sauna Benefits\n\nHeating of the tissues enhances metabolic processes. Greater cellular energy production facilitates healing. Viruses, tumors and toxin-laden cells are weaker than normal cells. They tolerate heat poorly. Raising the body temperature causes infections to heal more quickly. Hyperthermia or fever therapy help combat infections and even cancer. Our bodies develop fever when ill to enhance metabolism and help kill germs. \n\nSaunas enhance circulation and oxygenate the tissues. They open the nasal passages and assist the sinuses to drain. A major eliminative organ, most people's skin is very inactive. Many do not sweat. This may be due to synthetic or tight clothing that does not breathe. Sedentary living and sun damage also inactivate the skin. Hundreds of chemicals affect the skin from lotions, soaps, creams and deodorants. Other are cleaning solvents, detergent residues and chemicals from bathing water.\n\nRepeated use of the sauna slowly restores skin elimination. Toxic chemicals and metals can be removed faster than with any other method. It is a daily habit that pays many dividends. Steam baths, sweat lodges, vigorous exercise and hot tubs are more extreme and less effective.

Sweating is the body's cooling mechanism.  You burn calories whenever your body is using any energy at all, including when you're just sitting.  So sweating does burn calories, but not a significant amount at all.  The reason you lose weight if you sweat a lot is usually that you've lost water, which is a dangerous way to lose weight and is quite temporary.  If you are working out and sweating, that is when you are burning a significant amount of calories.

No, water helps you lose weight.  If you have pockets of fat that you can't get rid of, despite exercise and eating healthily, it could just be due to not consuming enough water.  Therefore, make sure you have 8 glasses per day.  Also, if you have a glass of water with your meal, it makes your feel full sooner and you eat less.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Infared saunas rock.  That's the technical term of course!  Seriously, my mom has one that's a stand alone, 4 person, dry, infared sauna and it is amazing.  The heat penetrates to 1 1/2 inches within the body stimulating internal organs and warming you from the inside out.  You sweat like crazy (which is great for detox and to relieve stress from the cleansing organs) and don't have to sit in a room full of lung burning steam.  As far as individual injury, isolated area infared treatment, I have heard great things about it as well.  I know a lot of the athletes are using it these days becuase it aids in the speedy recovery of injuries.

Of course it help because you lose a lot of water so if you do 30-45  per day you will lose weight. The best way to burn fat is when your heart beating is getting faster and its good to slow down gradually and they go faster again. On good treadmill you have a specific fonction for that and it works, I lost my 15 pounds over ;) and eat good.

You do NOT have to "drink lots of water" to lose weight!!  That's a myth.  No basis in science.

There are many ways to cleanse your skin of impurities. Saunas and steam baths allow you to eliminate heavy metals through your perspiration.\n\nA sauna is dry heat. A steam is wet heat. Dry heat is actually better for deep muscle relaxation and tends to be a bit more sanitary. Wet heat is preferred by some because it causes more of a sweat and opens the pores more. Both are very therapeutic

You shouldn't lose any real weight (fat or muscle) just water and waste.  You might temporarily lose pounds, but since it would be water you should look better over all.

In the first instance yes-you would lose water weight through sweating-BUT you will put that weight back on as soon as you drink again, which is often recommended after spending time in a steam room to prevent dehydration.  It wont help you lose body fat, only physical exercise and a balanced diet can do that.

You are increasing your blood flow while in sauna, so it is possible that you lose a little bit of fat. But the effect is very small, it is mostly water you are sweating out.

There is no such thing as spot-reduction when it comes to losing weight.  It is a myth, and don't believe anyone telling you otherwise.  If you are going to lose weight on your legs, you will lose it everywhere else also.  That said, running is probably the best exercise because along with losing weight you will be building the muscles in your legs and core (lower abs and back) which will give you a healthier, and slimmer, appearance.
