Saunas?

Does anyone here have any experience with Pd and how spending time in a sauna would affect it? In all my research I've not heard one squeak about this, and seeing the broad kinds of subjects discussed here, it seems strange it never gets mention.

UNBEKNOWN TO ME i HAVE HAD PARKIES FOR YEARS AND IN ALL THAT TIME i HAVE SPENT HOURS IN SAUNAS IN MANY COUNTRIES. THE VERY BEST ONES ARE FAR INFRARED( not sure of the spelling) I would only use the far infrared. You will find what I recommend is CORRECT.Everyone should do their own research.

I use the sauna every week after a dip in my local lido (unheated) unfortunately i can't swim anymore but the sauna makes it all worthwhile.

I've used and continue without incident to use both my dry sauna and a steambath utilizing essential oils into the atomization of the steam process. It has not had any adverse effects that I have noticed. In fact I think it has helped with my overall attitude and my drying skin for sure.

Infrared is the best AND you can buy a personal one for around $100! It sweats out toxins and evaporates so no sweaty mess. Then coldish warm shower right after.

I go to the sauna 4 or 5 times a week. It is round the corner, costs only 15 euro a month and it is a gym as well.I can come as much as I like. It makes me somewhat more relaxed, have some less tremor afterwards. Nice before I go to bed and I donot have to take showers anymore in my own home. See how that works on the long run. I also do yoga, cycling, walking and TRE
