Sauna

What is a jacuzzi or sauna used for?

There is a sauna (steam room) and a jacuzzi at the gym I go to. Mostly I only see people in these places socializing, but is there an actual use for these places? What are they good for other than socializing, and if there is a purpose for them, how long is the recommended usage time for sitting in either?

7. well people use saunas to sweat. sweating clears the pores, and helps with respiratory problems. jacuzzi i guess is more for romance and frolic?
8. relaxation
9. It suppose to be for relaxing the muscles and detoxing. But if you analyze it it is really gross. People go there and sweat and then someone else comes and sits in their sweat and sweat then the cycle continues. It's really gross.
10. Used to look at hot chicks.
