Did it stop progressing, or did the sauna reverse the scar tissue?

It only stops progressing. According to my doctor, the scar tissue is impossible to reverse. Luckily, It didn't affect my cardiovascular ability. I can still surf big waves like a normal surfer.

I recently saw an article about reversing fibrosis in mouse studies using an FDA-approved drug, e.g.: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/08/210823170126.h...
If I google "pulmonary fibrosis reversal" a number of things come up although they all appear to still be in the research phase. Never say never.

Thank you :))!
I was suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis for almost a year in 2019. I was devastated both physically and mentally.
Two months before COVID, after watched Laird Hamilton's interview about Sauna, I started to do Sauna 20mins-25mins and practice meditation every day after a workout. After doing it for three months, I fully recovered from the IPF.
