Sawbones: Sauna

Episode notes

Even though it’s associated with Nordic countries, the Sauna has been around in many different cultures for as long as people have been trying to get warm in a hot box. But how about health benefits? Dr. Sydnee talks about the history of saunas and spirituality, as well as the association between sweat and the perception of health – and that even though actual studies don’t say anything definite, sometimes it is just nice to get in a warm, steamy room.
