Stress impacts the mind and body
Studies show that high levels of stress have great impact on the brain. From memory problems to anxiety to learning difficulties, the effects of stress on the mind are immense. Neuroscientists have shown that chronic stress can even cause differences in grey and white matter in the brain, as well as the size and connectivity of the amygdala. High levels of stress can even impact the amount of neurons found in the brain.
Sunlighten infrared saunas soothe your mind by enveloping your body in relaxing warmth. By practicing mindful meditation while in a sauna therapy session can also help with mental stress reduction.
