Sauna

What is the benefit of using a sauna room or sauna suit?

Does it make you lose weight. I read somewhere that a session in the sauna is like running for 30 minutes. Is this true. How long should you sit in a sauna?

1. 1. temporary weight loss due to water loss 2. some level of muscle relaxation 3. stress relief I think 20 minutes is the limit unless its not too hot.
2. im sorry that just sounds rediculous to me. maybe if your exercising while in a sauna, that sounds more realistic for burning cals. i heard it just removes water. its more like peeing than it is running. hear, drink a whole bunch of water till you have to be. sit in a sauna 4 30 mins and then see if u have to pee afterwardss. HEY! WHATa great science experiment!
