@adytum_official: Janssen et al. (2016) published in JAMA Psychiatry conducted a randomized, double-blind study on 30 adults with major depressive disorder. A single session of whole-body hyperthermia raising core body temperature to 38.5°C (101.3°F) produced significant antidepressant effects that were apparent within one week and persisted for six weeks. The heat activates the raphe nuclei, stimulating serotonin synthesis through the same system targeted by SSRI medications. Effect sizes were large across all time points. The study included a sham control condition to account for placebo effects. Additional research shows heat exposure also triggers beta-endorphin release and increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by up to 66%. #MentalHealth #depressionanxiety #SelfCare #sauna #wellness

Can I just sit in my car for an hour when it’s hot out?

Interesting… our hot yoga room is at 105 and I crave my time in that space

Honestly I think it has more to do with circulation and getting rid of low level infections as well as heavy metals. All reasons this would work.
