Discover the Power of Heat Therapy!

Get ready to relax and rejuvenate! Starting September 12, our Barony St John Centre is unveiling an amazing Nordic sauna experience alongside our Ice Tank Challenge—your ultimate destination for wellness!

What Makes Nordic Saunas Unique?

Imagine a tranquil space heated by lava coals, where the air is infused with the refreshing scent of eucalyptus. That's the magic of our traditional Nordic sauna! Unlike humid steam baths, this sauna features lower humidity levels that still allow for an invigorating steam experience by pouring water on the hot stones.

A Time-Tested Tradition

For centuries, Nordic saunas have been a cornerstone of health in countries like Iceland, Norway, and Finland. Some of the earliest versions date back as far as 7000 BC, utilizing natural heat springs, making them a staple in wellness for ages.

The Science Behind the Benefits

Research backs the efficacy of traditional saunas, unlike their contemporary infrared counterparts. Dr. Liam Murphy from Melbourne Functional Medicine emphasizes that traditional saunas have undergone extensive study, establishing proven health benefits including:

- Decreased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease - Enhanced brain function - Improved cardiovascular health - Healthier skin - Lower blood pressure - Strengthened immune system - Effective toxin elimination - Relief from muscle soreness - Better joint mobility - Alleviated arthritis pain - Boosted emotional health and mood

Why Choose a Traditional Sauna?

While some might swear by infrared saunas for deeper detoxification, the limited research surrounding them raises questions. When it comes to a proven track record, traditional Nordic saunas win hands down!
