Sauna therapy could slash antibiotic use in chronic lung disease

This study tests whether frequent sauna baths can reduce or eliminate bacteria that cause stubborn lung infections in people with conditions like COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis. Researchers will track how long participants go without needing antibiotics and whether the bacteria are cleared. The trial aims to enroll 150 adults who have had repeated positive cultures for certain bacteria despite antibiotic treatment.
