It’s exciting to see the growing body of scientific evidence emerging to support many therapeutic modalities. Countless ancient therapies—and even old wives’ tales—have been carried through the ages because of their consistent anecdotal results. When those results are validated by modern science, credibility increases, research expands, and the general public becomes more open to exploring alternative and complementary approaches to health.

A great example of this is the rise in popularity of the sauna across North America. Some dismiss sauna use as a passing fad, yet around the world it has long been an essential cultural staple. Saunas have been used for thousands of years. The Finnish people, in particular, don’t need scientific studies to confirm what they have known through lived experience for generations.

That said, it is genuinely exciting to see scientific research now validating not only sauna use, but also complementary modalities such as breathwork and cold exposure.

Stay tuned as Integrated Wellness Hub gathers current research and emerging studies to support today’s evolving health trends and therapeutic practices. We will also continue to explore and thoughtfully challenge the boundaries of certain effective modalities that have been overlooked or buried for political or cultural reasons, as they begin to re-emerge into mainstream awareness.
