While we  at Olympic Hot Tub Company haven’t published any scientific studies on sauna benefits, we can tell you what our customers are saying after they purchase a Finnleo sauna from us.

For one thing they  report better skin. Many of our women owners have been asked if they’d had face lifts!

Stress relief was the top benefit, but a strengthened immune system was a surprise benefit for most. Most of our customers reported a decrease in colds and flu or said they haven’t been sick since they bought a sauna and started using it.

“A quiet time together, a get away from it all, a place to unwind” are all mentioned as sauna benefits. And, for those with arthritis or any joint or muscle pain, having a place at home to ease those aches & pains was a real bonus.

You can benefit, too.  You can add a Finnleo sauna to your home for less than the cost of a good cup of coffee a day! Most people mention better health as their top New Year’s resolution.  Installing an in-home sauna is the easiest way to improve your health and keep that resolution.

Hand reflexology is not as well known as foot reflexology, but the principles are the same. There are points on the hands that correspond to areas of the body. The following diagram shows those areas.

LEFT PALM

HOW TO GIVE A HAND REFLEXOLOGY MASSAGE: Gently massage each point in turn starting at the head (around the thumb area) and working down across the neck, throat, and chest down to the feet. Hand reflexology has an advantage over foot reflexology because it can be performed anywhere.

There are useful techniques to learn for the treatment of simple every day complaints. (Never use it if there is likely to be an under lying injury, or medical condition.)
Here are a few:

HEADACHE:
If you have a headache you may find that stimulating the top of the thumb and the part below which represents the neck area will help relieve your headache.

EARACHE:
Stimulate the little finger and the ring finger of each hand in turn.

STOMACH UPSET:
Gently massage the heel of the thumb and the area across the center of the hand. If there is pain, stop immediately because this may indicate something deeper that requires medical treatment.

LOWER SPINAL PAIN:

The point where the center of your hand joins your wrist can be stimulated to give relief from lower back pain.  This is a perfect antidote to backache caused by sitting at a computer for too long. Always seek medical advice if you don’t know what the problem is.

Try hand reflexology in the sauna or hot tub. It can’t hurt, feels good and who doesn’t like to hold hands with your partner??  Let me know how it goes!
