Benefits and drawbacks of menstrual sauna (steam therapy)

The benefits of sauna therapy during menstruation include removing dampness from the body, promoting blood circulation, and opening pores to help expel toxins. It can also contribute to skin beautification and weight loss. However, it is best to avoid sauna sessions during your menstrual period. Sauna use should not be too frequent, as excessive sessions may lead to dehydration and negatively affect health. Undergoing sauna therapy while actively bleeding may increase menstrual flow and cause discomfort.
