Because of all the drinking that we all do and all the hangovers, some of us have started doing saunas, its a very good hang over cure. I was never into them until i read up on the benefits of sweating in hot air and then jumping in ice cold water.
There are a few myths about sweating out toxins, but in reality the blood circulation is greatly improved, which does help carry away the toxins. I go on a daily basis now, due to drinking alot and trying to get myself up to scratch.
I have been taking berocca vitamins every day, mainly because it contains B vitamins will help protect the liver.
Anyway, after trying several saunas, this new sauna popped up and if anyone sees my facebook, i go there daily, because I get so relaxed and feel almost high from the release of chemicals.
