Infrared Saunas as a Treatment for Depression?
It's obvious to us regulars that spending time inside a warm sauna is a refreshing, relaxing escape from the stresses of day-to-day life that are so hard to leave behind. But could sauna use be effective for treating depression? In some cases, the answer appears to be "yes":
In 2005, a study was published in Psychosomatic Medicine in which a group of 28 mildly depressed patients with appetite loss and subjective symptoms were studied. Half the patients were given a sauna treatment every day, while the other half were given bed rest. Patients given sauna treatment showed significant improvement in somatic complaints, as well as hunger and relaxation scores compared with the control group. As well, the plasma ghrelin and daily caloric intake improved in the sauna group significantly more than in the control group.
As with many of the benefits of infrared saunas, once again, science is in agreement with the intuitions of practitioners.
Study: Masuda A, et al. Repeated thermal therapy diminishes appetite loss and subjective complaints in mildly depressed patients. Psychosomatic Medicine. 2005 67 (4): 643-47.
