Heat has been used for healing long before saunas were invented. The ancient Greeks and Romans built public baths over hot springs and on manmade fire furnaces. In East Asian history, stones were heated by fire and placed on the body to deliver the healing powers of heat.
Today, scientists understand the mechanism behind the therapeutic benefits of heat immersion. When the body is exposed to temperatures of 102.2 degreesHeat shock proteins are a type of stress protein — molecules that regulate the body in response to external stressors like extreme temperatures. As soon as your body is exposed to heat, the production of these proteins skyrockets.
Far from being a new trend, heat therapy is an age-old practice people have done for thousands of years. Thanks to saunas and electric heating pads, you don’t have to rely on hot springs or volcanic caves to reap the benefits of hot shock proteins. When activated by a rise in temperature, these proteins will support your immune system, have an anti-aging effect on the brain, and speed muscle recovery from exercise.
