Our blood circulation works silently<\/strong> in the background, vital for a healthy life<\/strong>. When blood flows freely and regularly, our cells receive oxygen and nutrients, our muscles regenerate more rapidly and our body is naturally energised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet we often forget it needs looking after, just like everything else. A sedentary lifestyle, stress and bad habits can diminish the efficiency of our cardiovascular system and increase muscle fatigue. In this scenario, the ancient practices of sauna and Hammam<\/strong> take on new meaning, becoming a modern-day means of prevention and wellbeing<\/strong>, stimulating circulation and instilling a feeling of deep relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat and its effect on our circulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Finnish sauna<\/strong><\/a>, the high temperature stimulates vasodilation<\/strong>: the blood vessels dilate, flow is increased and the heart receives a stimulus similar to that of moderate aerobic exercise. Studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em> confirm that regular sauna sessions can lower blood pressure, improve vessel elasticity and reduce the risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Turkish bath, with its humid steamy atmosphere, enhances these effects<\/strong>. The humidity helps distribute the heat evenly throughout the space and simulates superficial blood circulation. As a result, not only your legs but your whole body feels lighter, increasing oxygenation of the skin and strengthening the immune system. <\/p>\n\n\n

Easing tension and relaxing muscles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of heat are not limited to the heart. Our muscles<\/strong>, under constant strain or subject to stiffness that builds up throughout the day, gain great benefits from a sauna or Hammam<\/strong>. The heat penetrates deep down, it<\/strong> loosens tight muscles<\/strong>, eases joint pain <\/strong>and speeds up recovery after exercising<\/strong>. In fact a lot of research in the field of sports medicine shows that regularly taking a sauna after a training session enhances muscle recovery and heightens the beneficial effects of the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat is a very valid form of natural therapy: it relaxes, soothes and prepares the body for the many challenges it faces throughout the day. And it is an easy way of restoring elasticity and vitality to muscles, without resorting to invasive treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tradition, technology and daily wellbeing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For centuries, Nordic and Middle Eastern cultures have realised the potential of heat treatments to strengthen the body and spirit. Effe builds on this tradition with products that combine contemporary design, eco-friendly materials and state-of-the-art technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
