Sauna Induced Hyperthermia

Meaning

Sauna Induced Hyperthermia is the controlled elevation of core body temperature achieved through deliberate exposure to high ambient heat within a sauna environment. This therapeutic application of heat stress is precisely managed to induce a transient state of hyperthermia, triggering a systemic physiological response without causing irreversible cellular damage. The practice is clinically leveraged for its effects on cardiovascular function, stress hormone modulation, and the activation of beneficial cellular defense mechanisms. It is a form of passive heat therapy used to enhance recovery and promote allostatic load reduction.
