The surprising benefits of sweating through the heat

Why use a sauna in the warmer months?

While it might seem counterintuitive to step into a hot sauna when the sun is already blazing outside, traditional sauna use during hotter months is not only beneficial — it’s brilliantly aligned with how our bodies adapt, regulate, and thrive.

Here’s why:

Improved Heat Tolerance
Regular sauna sessions actually help your body acclimate to warmer temperatures. By training your body to manage internal heat more efficiently, you’ll find it easier to stay cool and comfortable during summer heatwaves or travel to hot climates.

Better Hydration Awareness
Using the sauna in summer encourages more mindful hydration. Sweating regularly can improve your body’s ability to retain essential minerals and electrolytes — and prompts you to nourish yourself with water-rich foods and fluids.

Deeper Rest + Sleep
Warmer nights can disrupt sleep. Sauna use (especially in the late afternoon or early evening) triggers a natural drop in core temperature afterwards, promoting deeper relaxation and more restful sleep — even on sticky summer nights.

Nervous System Reset
Summer can be full of stimulation — longer days, social plans, travel. Sauna offers a quiet, intentional space to slow down. The steady heat helps soothe your nervous system, reduce cortisol, and bring you back to centre.

Glowing Skin, Naturally
With consistent use, sauna supports circulation and lymphatic flow, which helps the skin detox more efficiently — keeping your summer glow fresh and balanced (especially helpful when heat and sweat lead to breakouts or congestion).

Keeps Wellness Routines
Grounded
It’s easy to fall out of rhythm in summer. Sauna rituals provide a grounding, familiar practice that brings you back to your body, no matter how your schedule shifts.

So yes — sauna in the summer makes a lot of sense.
Pair it with a dip in our icy plunge pool or a cold shower, some quiet breathwork, and a calming herbal tea, and you’ve got the perfect balance of fire and flow.
