Heat’s Impact on the Human Body

Date: 2025-03-04, 21:00
Organizer : Lithuanian Bath Academy

A Webinar for Sauna Enthusiasts and Professionals

Body reaction to heat

A sauna master must adjust sauna procedures to the needs of each client, adjusting heat, steam, water temperature, and session duration accordingly. Sauna work is a live process, like a ship captain making impromptu decisions, and there is no time to check answers on the Internet—one must watch the subtle cues of a man's condition and adjust the procedure in a split second.

This webinar is all about understanding how sauna heat dynamically affects the body—how the internal temperature rises, the circulation changes, and skin pores open. Subjects vary from how the sauna acts on joints, muscles, and the respiratory system to why dizziness occurs and how it affects immunity and hormonal balance. Sweating, detoxification, how heat acts on internal organs like the liver, and how it affects the nervous system will be discussed with the newest scientific research.

We will explore how heat works with the body, from circulation and detoxification to immune function and relaxation. Heat exposure—through sauna therapy or other thermal methods—triggers essential physiological responses, such as sweating, increased circulatory flow, and intensified cardiovascular function. The effects of this are to purge the body of harmful toxins, stimulate the immune system, and preserve joint and muscle health.

Aside from the physical gains, heat plays an essential role in promoting mental wellness. Sauna use promotes relaxation, relieves stress-related conditions, and provides a feeling of balance. Classical sauna rituals, including herbal-infused therapies and contrast treatments, even amplify the effects, balancing ancient knowledge with modern science.

Key topics we will cover

  • Body temperature dynamics in sauna
  • Cardiovascular benefits
  • Heat as a natural defender
  • The Sweating and detoxification
  • Skin thermoregulatory functions
  • Contrasts
  • Sauna steam and breething
  • Impact on the endocrine system
  • Nervous system in sauna
  • Mental welness

This webinar is designed for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between the human body and sauna heat. Whether you are a sauna enthusiast, a professional sauna master, a sauna owner, or in the wellness business, these insights will help you provide a better sauna experience.

 

All of this requires a deep understanding of the fundamental physiological principles of the sauna—and the creativity to apply them wisely.

Join us and take your sauna knowledge to the next level!
