Hi, we’re Andrew and Amy. We live on the Isle of Arran with our little girl, Wren. This is our first ever business venture - a family business - and how we earn our living.
We’ve been planning Stonesthrow Sauna for a long time and are really excited to share it with you. We look forward to seeing you soon!
We are Stonesthrow Sauna
Sauna is good for you!
There is loads of evidence that a sauna - and a post-sauna cold dip - is great for both your physical and mental health.
The Global Sauna Survey conducted in 2019 found that people who used a sauna between 5 and 15 times a month reported greater general mental well-being than those who used less frequently, or not at all. The same survey showed that 83% of people had better sleep after a sauna.
A separate study showed that middle-aged men who used the sauna 4-7 times a week reduced their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 65% (compared to going just once a week). And a 2005 paper showed that sauna use once a day for a month reduced symptoms of depression and increased appetite and reduced anxiety. Additionally, the post-sauna cold-dip also has benefits. It’s been shown that a cold-dip of around 18 minutes, can improve your mood immediately after getting out of the water.
Need more convincing that a sauna is a great idea?! Come along and join us for a session and see for yourself!
