It was Chilly in Santa Clarita, but it was Over 170 Degrees Here
Last month, a freezing SCV saw frosts multiple mornings - but at The Sweat Shack in Old Town Newhall and Saugus, guests were still sauna'ing like the Finns in the steamy Kuuma sauna, where temps can climb over 170 degrees.
There's good reason to snuggle into a steamy sauna. The Finnish people are among the healthiest in the world - and most partake in steam sauna like The Sweat Shack's Kuuma sauna multiple times a week.
Frequent sauna users have shown to have a reduced mortality rate from all causes by a whopping 40 percent. And sauna use has been correlated to improved immune function, reduction in auto-immune symptoms, improvement in heart and lung function and much more.
The best reason to sauna? That's up to you and your health and wellness goals. But guests of The Sweat Shack share glowing reviews about stress and anxiety reduction; smoother, clearer skin; better-quality sleep; an increase in energy and sense of wellbeing and so much more.
