dry saunas help eliminate microplastics in blood + sperm
High-heat dry saunas make you sweat heavily, which may help your body excrete small molecules associated with plastic exposure (like BPA and phthalates) through sweat.
some studies have detected these chemicals in sweat at higher levels than in urine, suggesting sweating may help eliminate them from the body.
Heat exposure like in sauna or steam rooms)
causes vasodilation widening of blood vessels increasing blood flow, and the hydrostatic forces from heat + humidity can help support lymphatic movement and fluid exchange. This can boost circulatory and lymphatic activity by ~20-30%*, similar to moderate aerobic activity, improving cardiovascular health and recovery.
How it may support “detox”
Sweating mobilizes some chemicals that the liver has processed like BPA and phthalates into sweat.
Sauna heat increases heart rate and blood circulation (like light exercise)
Increased lymph movement helps clear metobalic waste from tissues (indirect effect)
