I was surprised to learn a few years ago that saunas might actually have significant health benefits.

See the references below from The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), and Dr. Patrick who has interviewed the original researcher.

I explicitly said "sauna-detox myth", i.e., the myth that you can "detoxify" your body through sweating.

I’m surprised to hear that you believe this to be a myth. The only sources claiming this to be a myth seem to be popular news sites referencing each other in a circular fashion. Here’s a detailed study on the matter: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3312275/
