A recent study from the Nordic Wellness Institute reveals that wearing a specialized sauna hat can increase the benefits of detox sessions by up to 30%. Researchers found that the headgear helps maintain stable core temperature while allowing the body to sweat more efficiently.

“Proper head protection is crucial for safe sauna use,” says lead researcher Dr. Johan Bergman. “Our tests show that felt sauna hats help regulate blood circulation and prevent overheating, making sessions more effective and comfortable.”

The study specifically highlights the advantages of using a sauna hat during infrared sauna sessions, where targeted heat penetration is key. Wellness centers worldwide are now recommending quality head protection as part of their standard sauna protocols.
