Sauna use may help remove toxins from the body, particularly for individuals with elevated toxin levels from environmental exposures.

“While sauna is commonly referred to as a detox intervention, research on the subject has been limited, especially as it pertains to eliminating toxins from everyday life exposures. Research so far focused on sauna's potential to help detoxing heavy metals, and some abuse drugs in the contexts of long term occupational exposures. Moreover, most research on detox did not use the Finnish sauna protocol, most well studied for chronic disease prevention, especially cardiovascular disease.”
