For centuries, healers have turned to warmth to help ease their patients’ pains. The ancient Greeks and Romans were particularly fond of their laconicas, literally translated as “sweating rooms.” Heat—and the sweat that comes with it—has long been a means of getting rid of impurities, soothing aching muscles, and cleansing the skin. For generations, medical practitioners have advocated spending time in a sauna as a way to ease their patients’ discomfort, improve their circulation, and even alleviate their stress and anxieties. Far be it from us to argue with history.

But traditional saunas aren’t for everyone. Yes, all saunas are hot, but sitting in one shouldn’t be uncomfortable or painful.
