Outdoor Oasis

Sauna

Saunas have been around for over 10,000 years and most of them are indoors. However, an outdoor sauna allows you to enjoy the view of your backyard. The  therapeutic benefits of a sauna have stood the test of time. The exposure to heat from a sauna is great for improving circulation and cardiovascular health, relaxing your muscles after a tough workout and sweating out toxins.

The most popular sizes of saunas are 4×4 and 5×7. We have saunas for just one person all the way up to seating of 8. The prices range from $6,000 to $15,000 most of the time. Check out some of our sauna options below. 

According to an international study done in 2018:

  • Frequent sauna bathing is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, 
  • People taking a sauna 4-7 times a week were 61% less likely to suffer a stroke than those taking a sauna once a week. 
  • The more frequently saunas were taken, the lower was the risk of stroke. Compared to people taking one sauna session per week, the risk was decreased by 14% among those with 2-3 sessions and 61% among those with 4-7 sessions. The association persisted even when taking into account conventional stroke risk factors, such as age, sex, diabetes, body mass index, blood lipids, alcohol consumption, physical activity and socio-economic status. The strength of association was similar in men and women.
  • According to the researchers, mechanisms driving the association of sauna bathing with reduced stroke may include a reduction in blood pressure, stimulation of immune system, a positive impact on the autonomic nervous system, and an improved cardiovascular function. In a recent experimental study, the same group of scientists also showed that sauna bathing has acute effects on the stiffness of the arterial wall, hence influencing blood pressure and cardiac function parameters.
