Combatting SAD with Sauna & Heat Therapy
Alaska's long winter nights can trigger seasonal depression. Regular sauna use simulates summer circulation, increases endorphins, and provides a light-filled sanctuary during dark months.
Neurochemical release from heat exposure
Sauna heat triggers a massive release of beta-endorphins and dynorphins. This down-regulates cortisol levels and raises baseline dopamine, helping stabilize mood.
Simulating high-circulation states
Sauna increases heart rate to 120-150 bpm, mimicking moderate exercise. This pushes oxygenated blood to the brain, relieving lethargy associated with SAD.
