Many sauna beginners have anxieties such as, "I want to experience the feeling of being in a sauna, but it seems like a test of endurance and difficult," or "I don't like cold baths or the heat, so I can't take the first step." However, by choosing the "correct way to use a sauna" based on scientific evidence and selecting a "high-quality space," saunas can be a safe and ultimate relaxation experience for everyone.

Standing in a quiet alleyway in AsakusaSAUNALAND ASAKUSAThis is a sophisticated private spa space designed to gently escort beginners on their first sauna experience. This time, we will provide a detailed explanation of sauna knowledge and techniques based on medical and physiological evidence, ensuring that beginners will never make mistakes.

[Scientific Evidence] Why do we "get into the zone" in saunas? The bodily mechanisms that beginners should know.

The deep sense of refreshment, known as "totonoi," experienced in a sauna is not merely a figment of the imagination. It is based on a clear physiological response that occurs when the body is subjected to alternating hot and cold stimuli.

The switching of the autonomic nervous system and the pumping effect of blood vessels produced by alternating hot and cold baths.

Alternating between the "heat" of the sauna and the "cold" of the cold plunge pool is a form of hot and cold bathing.(A health method that involves alternating between applying heat and cold stimulation)This activates the autonomic nervous system to its maximum potential. Under high temperatures, the sympathetic nervous system (tension mode) becomes dominant, causing peripheral blood vessels to dilate. Immediately afterward, immersing oneself in cold water causes the blood vessels to constrict rapidly. This rapid pumping action dramatically promotes blood circulation throughout the body, accelerating the elimination of fatigue-causing substances.

The relationship between "beta-endorphin," which relieves brain fatigue and leads to beautiful skin, and "core body temperature."

When you get out of cold water and rest your body in the fresh air, your parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation mode) suddenly becomes dominant. At this moment, your brain releases beta-endorphins, which bring about feelings of euphoria, and serotonin, which stabilizes your mood. Furthermore, the dilation of blood vessels allows oxygen to reach every corner of your skin, activating heat shock proteins (HSPs) that repair damaged cells. This is the scientific basis for reducing brain fatigue and creating clear, beautiful skin.
