Sauna bathing is well tolerated, safe, and has therapeutic value, according to a study published in The American Journal of Medicine for most healthy people, as well as for most patients with stable coronary heart disease.
The authors of a study from Finland and the Division of Cardiology, Washington Hospital Center, Washington D.C examined the benefits and risks of sauna bathing for healthy adults and children, as well as for patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, and congestive heart failure.
Also this study shows that a normal person can easily sweat off 250 grams of sweat in a sauna which equals to 200 to 300 calories. The most important factor is that while the weight of the water lost can be regained by rehydration with water, the calories will not.
