Sauna saved my life in some way.
I was suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis for almost a year in 2019. I was devastated both physically and mentally.
Two months before COVID, after watched Laird Hamilton's interview about Sauna, I started to do Sauna 20mins-25mins and practice meditation every day after a workout. After doing it for three months, I fully recovered from the IPF.
- cma 5y agoDid it stop progressing, or did the sauna reverse the scar tissue?
- allenleein 5y agoIt only stops progressing. According to my doctor, the scar tissue is impossible to reverse. Luckily, It didn't affect my cardiovascular ability. I can still surf big waves like a normal surfer.
- keshet 5y agoI recently saw an article about reversing fibrosis in mouse studies using an FDA-approved drug, e.g.: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/08/210823170126.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/08/210823170126.h... If I google "pulmonary fibrosis reversal" a number of things come up although they all appear to still be in the research phase. Never say never.
