  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coaTPhfwp8Q&amp;t=271">4:31</a> for the mistake! Basically that anything above 190F is too hot and can actually increase dementia risk, so stay under that.

  Rhonda is a scientific treasure. I watch/listen to her whenever I can and hope to support her efforts in more concrete terms in the very near future. Thank you for having her.

  In Indian Ayurvedic centers, they have you sit in a sauna/steam box with your head outside of it. It isn’t as fun and immersive, but feels much safer.

  I have been using my Finnish Sauna for over 12 years now. My wife just bought us the wool sauna hats. They are amazing. It protects your head and hair from the higher heat.

  Hello from Finland. Sauna is all about humidity, not just temperature! The key is to have the temperature low enough so that you can increase the humidity quite a lot (throw water on the stones) without feeling too hot.<br><br>If your sauna is at 90 C (194 F) then you are in a hopeless hot&amp;dry situation. Cool it down to 70-75 C, then increase humidity.

  The actual reason saunas increase life expectancy/decrease disease is because your skin is your 3rd kidney. In 95% of the population peoples kidneys are not working/filtering. When you’re in the sauna (sweating) you activate kidney function. Which in turn decreases disease and increases life expectancy.

  I was in a sauna at my fitness center in the states. The temp was probably around 160 degrees. There was a woman in the sauna that said to me, &quot;Is this as hot as it gets?&quot; I told her yes and asked her where she was from, &quot;Finland: she said lol.
