Absolutely - it is nothing like a shower. Your skin releases sweat and your airways clear up because you breathe the hot air in and out. As you sit there and wait, your mind calms down too, much like it would during a proper work out. A sauna visit warms you up down to the core especially in a cold winter climate. For several hours afterwards you feel warm, even when out about in the cold. It’s like that nice hot feeling after a shower sticks around for several hours instead of half an hour.
