A Sauna can kill viruses

The virus cannot survive high temperatures.

Why Sauna is good protection against viruses

As the body is exposed to the high heat of a steam room, more white blood cells are produced, which help to fight off illnesses and kills viruses.

“Studies show that viruses replicate best at a cool 32°C – that’s five degrees lower than regular body temperature – so, a sauna can stop viruses,” says Professor Ronald Eccles, director of Cardiff University’s UK Common Cold Centre
