What is the main purpose of the sauna? What happens to my body in the sauna?
A. What sauna basically does is that it cleanses the body through perspiration thus opening the pores of the skin and flushing out the impurities in the body through the process of sweating. What happens to your body during a sauna is that your metabolism and pulse rates increase, your blood vessels become much more flexible, and your extremities benefit from increased circulation.
