Shit, it's hot --> must move heat from body --> blood flow increases --> helps recovering from delayed onset muscle soreness
It's like low intensity cardio. If you haven't felt your heart beating harder, it wasn't hot enough.
Also, it's relaxing, gets you clean and a great place for socializing.
Minimum temperature is 60C (140F), otherwise it's not a sauna. I've found 65-70C to be most pleasuring: I can stay in and relax for a longer time and not feel woozy. Something like 100-120C (212-248F) isn't that bad really if you don't throw any water. In the army I was once in a 130C sauna and it was almost unbearable. You had to pour water on your constantly or your hair would get painfully hot.
