The benefits of saunas

Hello everybody,

Here's another thing that works wonder for me: saunas.

It's well known in Scandinavian countries that saunas are great for the health in general, and for the skin in particular. But I find it particularly true for the skin of my residual limbs.

My skin is more delicate, often dry and itchy there, particularly around the scars. But it always looks and feels miles better after a hot sauna. And back when I still had phantom pain, it also did calm down the pain considerably.

If you don't live up north where saunas are commonplace, look for Turkish baths, hammams or Roman steam baths in spas and large beauty centers. Honestly, it's well worth trying out if you never have.
