Saunas may be good for blood pressure?!?

Just a couple of days ago, a New York Times article reports that Finnish study suggests that regular sauna visits can reduce the risk for high blood pressure. Here's what they found:

"Compared to those who reported one sauna session a week or less, those who took two to three sessions were 24 percent less likely to have hypertension, and four to seven visits a week reduced the risk by 46 percent." 

Wait... so saunas feel great and are good for you, too? [Drops computer, fires up the wood sauna]
