That does not show that baths deliver greater long-term health benefits: the comparison involved 20 healthy adults and measured short-term responses, not disease prevention or lasting outcomes.
What the direct comparison measured
In a 2025 randomized comparison, 20 healthy adults—10 women, with a mean age of 24 ± 4 years—completed three single-session conditions at least a week apart. The protocols differed in both temperature and duration, so this was not an equal-dose comparison.
| Condition | Protocol | Core-temperature increase at the end of heating | Cardiac-output increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot-water immersion | 45 minutes at 40.5°C | 1.1°C (95% CI 0.9–1.3) | 3.7 L/min (95% CI 2.9–4.4) |
| Traditional sauna | Three 10-minute bouts at 80°C | 0.4°C (95% CI 0.2–0.6) | 2.3 L/min (95% CI 1.8–2.8) |
| Far-infrared sauna | 45 minutes at 45–65°C | Approximately 0.0°C (95% CI −0.1 to 0.2) | 1.6 L/min (95% CI 1.2–2.1) |
Researchers also measured blood markers and immune-cell populations. After immersion, interleukin-6 rose slightly (+0.386 pg/mL; 95% CI 0.093–0.680), and selected immune-cell populations changed at 24 and 48 hours. These are short-term biological measurements; the study did not show improved immune protection or fewer illnesses. Study record.
Why the larger response does not prove greater health benefits
Core temperature and cardiac output describe immediate responses to heat exposure. A larger change in either measure is not, by itself, evidence of better health. The study tested one session in young, healthy volunteers; it did not compare repeated routines, measure disease events, or establish lasting benefits.

#1 Best Overall
- The high-power steamer can quickly generate steam and shorten the preheating time. You can set the temperature and time on the steamer or with the remote control. X-Vcak home sauna has dry burning and leakage functions, allowing you to enjoy the sauna with more peace of mind.

- You can move the sauna tent to your room, living room, bathroom or other places for use. If you need to take the steam tent to a further location, it can also be folded for easy portability. With this portable sauna, you can steam at home anytime and anywhere, saving time in going to the steam room.
Longer-term evidence is also not enough to rank baths against saunas. A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis included 20 randomized trials of several forms of passive heating—including hot-water bathing, sauna, hot yoga, and local heating—with interventions lasting 2 to 15 weeks. The pooled analysis found no significant effect for most assessed outcomes, including flow-mediated dilation, pulse-wave velocity, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, fasting glucose, HbA1c, cholesterol fractions, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein. Because the review combined different heating methods, it does not show that bathing and sauna are equivalent or settle which is better. It does show that the acute comparison cannot establish long-term superiority. Review record.
What another small comparison adds
A separate 2025 randomized study involved 14 healthy young men completing 20-minute steam-sand, hot-water-bath (about 41°C), and sauna (about 80°C) conditions. Core temperature rose most with hot water, but mean and diastolic arterial pressure fell during recovery in all three conditions, with similar changes between conditions. A stronger temperature response therefore did not translate into a greater measured recovery blood-pressure change in that comparison. Study record.

How to read a bath-versus-sauna comparison
The result depends on what was measured and how the heat was delivered. Water temperature, air temperature, duration, breaks, and how much of the body is exposed all affect the comparison. So do the outcome and timeframe: an immediate change in temperature or cardiac output is different from a repeated-exposure measure, and both differ from a clinical outcome such as illness or disease. The available studies support a narrow conclusion about acute responses under specific protocols, not a general health ranking.
