I was browing the internet trying to find out what the sauna is good....now I know its good for detox, relaxation, circulation and respiration...but I also read that you burn calories because your heart rate increases....does that hold any truth?

Not worth mentioning. Simply lose some water weight which you will quickly regain. In fact, using the suana on a continuous basis can cause the body to retain water.
