Saunas
The Dragontree features traditional Finnish saunas to enhance your
therapeutic experience. Saunas and other methods of inducing sweating
have been used throughout the world by many cultures for their health
benefits.
Saunas helps cleanse the body of toxins. They open and unclog the pores
of the skin and support suppleness. The heat warms and relaxes muscles
and joints and is a great addition to massage. Saunas assist the body,
as a fever would, to overcome infections. Finally, a dry sauna can help
counteract the effects of living in a cool, damp environment. Portland’s
rainy weather and the mold it supports have a defi nite negative impact
on many locals, contributing to such symptoms as achiness, persistent
sinus infections, phlegm, and fatigue. Our saunas help raise your core
temperature and dry out this accumulated dampness.
Women in their first trimester of pregnancy should abstain from using a
sauna, and should limit their use to just a few minutes at a time in the
second and third trimesters. Those with high blood pressure and heart
disease should exercise caution in the use of saunas. Saunas can also be
unsafe for those who have consumed drugs and/or alcohol. A 30-minute
sauna session is included with all full body massages and facials.
