==Evidence== Sauna was found to be beneficial for antihistamine-resistant [[urticaria]], an [[autoimmune disease]].<ref name="saunaurticaria2014">{{Citation| issn = 1565-1088| volume = 16 | issue = 3| pages = 182β183| last = Magen | first = Eli | title = Beneficial effect of sauna therapy on severe antihistamine-resistant chronic urticaria| journal = The Israel Medical Association journal: IMAJ| date = March 2014 | pmid = 24761711}}</ref> A 2015 study found that frequent sauna usage lowered men's risk of fatal [[cardiovascular disease]] and premature death from other causes. The study's conclusion reports, "Increased frequency of sauna bathing is associated with a reduced risk of SCD, CHD, CVD, and all-cause mortality. Further studies are warranted to establish the potential mechanism that links sauna bathing and cardiovascular health."<ref>{{Cite journal| title = Association between sauna bathing and fatal cardiovascular and all-cause mortality events| date = Apr 2015 |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25705824/|journal=JAMA internal medicine|volume=175|issue=4|pages=542β548 | last = Laukkanen | first=Tanjaniina | author-link = | last2 = Khan | first2 = Hassan | author-link2 = | last3 = Zaccardi | first3 = Francesco | authorlink3 = | last4 = Laukkanen | first4 = Jari A. | authorlink4 = |doi=10.1001/jamainternmed.2014.8187|pmc=|pmid=25705824|access-date=|issn=2168-6114|quote=|via=}}</ref>
