Using The Sauna Helping With Melancholy and Pain

By Caroline Dean


As each and every one of us gets to be an advanced age we all find different kinds of pain pursuing us. For some, it might be lower back pain. For yet others, it may come in the form of arthritic pains, or just general pains of an unknown origin. Hurting can be an extraordinarily difficult thing to cope with for long stretches, and may dramatically decrease an individual's quality of life. Pain is definitely known to contribute to many different varieties of depression, which may can cause a loss of income, leading into a spiral.

Both diagnosed depression and pain are the cause for a very large number of pharmaceuticals taken around the world. The financial toll of true depression is not to be underestimated. The side effects from these pharmaceuticals can vary from addiction, particularly in the case of opioids, to the gaining of weight in the case of drugs classified as anti-depressants. As a result of this, even individuals dealing with real depression or pain frequently try to avoid taking drugs entirely.

Natural remedies abound to treat these problems and problems similar to them, but a lot of them lack any real credibility. Homeopathy is just one small example. This does depend, usually, on the culture you are in, however. Many place in the world have very fundamentally different ideas on how to deal with many decidedly modern diseases. One specific alternative that is worth mentioning and enjoyed by many men and women throughout the planet, especially the nation of Finland, is use of sauna bathing.

Many physicians may suggest exercise for many kinds of conditions, because it's generally considered to be all around beneficial. Sauna, however, here in the U.S.A. at least, isn't brought up as much. The use of the sauna is useful for a variety of reasons. For one, it's passive in its use. You don't have to have fantastic mobility necessarily to enjoy its benefits. The manner in which sauna bathing aids in both pain and depression involves two important chemicals: noradrenaline and endorphins.

Use of the sauna creates a strong release of endorphins and norepinephrine both. Beta-endorphin is the chemical which most painkillers are designed to mimic. It's naturally found in the human body and releases from strenuous exercise, and sauna use. Sauna bathing is able to cause a powerful dumping of this chemical. Noradrenaline has in fact been the target of many pharmaceuticals for A.D.D., and depression as well, and it is also induced through use of the sauna.
