A single 30-minute Finnish sauna session can lower blood pressure and improve arterial compliance in individuals with at least one cardiovascular risk factor.

“And sitting in a sauna it's really good it's sort of like a an aerobic exercise mimetic in a way it's really good for vascular compliance lowering blood pressure lowering inflammation everything”

“but he's then since published some some clinical trials where he's looked at for example the arterial comply and of course blood pressures that's one of the main things that's effective is blood pressure but also just like the ability of the arteries to like expand and contract in response to pressure like that's improved which is really important”

“Just a single sauna session lowers blood pressure, improves heart rate variability, and improve arterial compliance.”

“People with a high risk for heart disease improved artery function and blood pressure after a single 30-minute sauna session (163.4 degrees F, 10-20% humidity).”

“long-term sauna use has been shown to improve blood pressure andth thelial function and ventricular function”

“I think there some interesting findings, some acute changes after sauna use. [Rhonda]: After just a single session? [Jari]: Yeah, single session, in vessel and vessel function. [Rhonda]: Oh, wow. [Jari]: And also heart rate. There is a gradual increase in heart rate during the sauna, single sauna session.”

“it's no surprise it should be no surprise that long-term sauna use has actually been shown to improve blood pressure it's been shown to improve left ventricular function it's been shown to improve vascular compliance and also endothelial function”

“in fact just a single exposure to a thirty minute Finnish sauna is able to lower blood pressure in about it was about a hundred people or so in this study that had at least one cardiovascular risk factor and after doing the thirty minutes on a session blood pressure was lowered and also arterial compliance was improved”
