Hi All, Kat here from The Neighborhood Sauna Hillary’s. So I went to see my Psych for ADHD treatment this morning and he was very happy I worked at the sauna and have access to session whenever I can. He has requested I make an effort to have sessions as much as possible because of its amazing benefits for mental health and ADHD. So I thought I would share the benefits and why it is good for my fellow neurodivergent friends and anyone that needs some brain love 🫶🏽 (which let’s be honest, all of us could do with some of that) Getting to sauna on a regular basis (15-20mins) not only releases dopamine, that happy buzz to keep our brain motivated, but it also raises Norepinephrine by 86%. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter that helps with focus, attention and mood. I’m always harping on about how the sauna “detoxes cortisol” but the controlled heat exposure actually releases endorphins with lowers cortisol and makes up feel good and calm. The new research is showing supporting heat therapy and adhd states doing it 2-4 times a week can help improve cognition, memory and brain relaxation, which are all things that can be a struggle for those diagnosed. And finally, which I’m sure a lot of view that sauna regularly agree with, is that the contrast therapy of hot and cold really helps your sleep cycles and health promoting more of that juicy restorative deep sleep we love so much 🙌🏽 Anyway, I was having a little bit of a read to motivate me to get in that sauna on a more regular basis and this information is definitely encourage this so I thought I would share it here. Hopefully I’ll see you in the sauna 2-4 times a week ❤️ ✌🏽 🔥
