When you’re feeling under the weather, the idea of relaxing in a warm sauna might sound appealing. Saunas can help promote relaxation, improve blood circulation, and temporarily relieve muscle aches or nasal congestion. The heat encourages your body to sweat, which may provide a soothing effect and make you feel more comfortable. However, whether a sauna is good when sick depends on your symptoms.
