Drip Sauna House

Want to protect your tan and have less risk of burn this 4th of July?

A red light session before a long day in the sun may help.

Near-infrared light pre-conditions the skin against UV damage — researchers call it photoprevention. Your skin gets a head start before the sun hits it.

NIR wavelengths activate protective pathways in skin cells that reduce the inflammatory response to UV exposure. Less inflammation. Less burning. More time in the sun before your skin starts to protest.

And water? Water is a chromophore too. At 970nm and beyond.

The catch — and this is very dr!p — it only works at the right dose. Too little does nothing. Too much causes the opposite effect. Which is exactly what hormesis predicts.

This is the science behind why we built what we built.

This weather. Seriously.

We know somewhere it’s always 180F 🔥

There’s often a tension between ‘science’ and ‘enjoyment’ with sauna.

There shouldn’t be.

Measurement? Playfulness? They both validate why sauna feels great.

Our customers love the löyly so our favorite technique is to swirl the water slowly on the rocks.

Why?

Sauna rocks have a high specific heat capacity, but too much water in one area can cool down that rock.

Lower heat. Less steam. More water 💧👎

Steam is maybe the best part of a Finnish sauna. It feels like you’re melting stress away. The better it feels, the better you feel.

Discomfort is an inevitability.

But, choosing it on your own terms can create positive benefits.

Science fact: you can actually grow the part of your brain associated with doing hard things.
It’s called the anterior mid-cingulate cortex.

Research shows it increases in size when you regularly do things you don’t want to do — and shrinks when you consistently avoid discomfort.

Discomfort isn’t the enemy. Avoiding it is.

Cold water and heat stress are two of the most accessible forms of deliberate discomfort available to you. Not because they’re trendy. Because your brain and body were designed to adapt to them.

Every session at dr!p is a deposit into that account.

You don’t need new parts. You need more stress.

Heat stress at the right dose = upgrade

Same with cold. Same with light.

It applies to all natural hormetic stressors.

You already know it to be true with physical stress (exercise).

You’re just missing the others.
