A recent article in the journal Neurology reported that those who take frequent saunas have a reduced risk of stroke. The researchers established baseline habits of sauna bathing in a group of 1628 Finnish men and women aged 53-74, then followed them for nearly 15 years. Those who were classified as “frequent” sauna users were much less likely to have a stroke than those who did not use them at all; the association was still seen even after correction for other known risk factors for stroke, and
after adjustment for socioeconomic status and for physical activity levels. The same group of researchers found that sauna use was associated with a reduced risk of respiratory conditions.
Induced sweating may be a valuable way of ridding the body of some types of toxins, as suggested by the “Blood, Urine and Sweat” studies by Dr. Stephen Genuis and colleagues. While at one time it was rare for Americans to have saunas in
their homes, infrared saunas have become more affordable. Please visit the website for some specific suggestions.
Dr. Isaacs will be out of town from May 16-May 20. Her mother’s ashes will be buried on May 18 in West Virginia. If you are a current patient, please contact the office with any routine matters before or after that date. If you have any urgent issues, leave a message with the office or answering service and she will return your call.
