About the Infrared Sauna

What is Infrared Sauna

A traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, typically at temperatures between 180 – 220°F, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you, maintaining a temperature no greater than 150°F. Infrared saunas are able to provide the same therapeutic benefits as traditional saunas at a much lower temperature.

Benefits of Infrared Saunas

Infrared saunas have gained popularity in recent years due to their unique way of heating the body and the potential health benefits they offer. Here’s a breakdown of the key points you mentioned:

  1. Difference from Traditional Saunas: Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit infrared light experienced as radiant heat, which directly heats the body’s tissues rather than heating the air in the sauna. Traditional saunas, on the other hand, heat the air in the chamber, which then indirectly warms the body. Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures (around 120-150°F) compared to traditional saunas (180-220°F).

  2. Detoxification: Sweating is a natural way for the body to eliminate toxins, and infrared saunas can induce a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level. The heat generated by infrared rays can help release toxins stored in fat cells and promote detoxification.

  3. Relaxation: Infrared sauna therapy provides a gentle and soothing heat, which can be more comfortable for some individuals compared to the intense heat of traditional saunas. This can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

  4. Lower Blood Pressure: The increase in heart rate and improved circulation during an infrared sauna session can lead to lower blood pressure. Regular use has been shown to have a positive impact on blood pressure levels.

  5. Weight Loss: Infrared saunas can elevate the heart rate and metabolic rate, potentially leading to calorie burning and weight loss. However, it’s essential to note that any weight loss from sauna sessions is primarily due to fluid loss through sweating and not necessarily fat loss.

  6. Pain Relief: The deep penetration of infrared heat into tissues can help relieve various types of pain, including muscle and joint pain. It’s often used as a complementary therapy for pain management.

  7. Improved Circulation: Infrared heat can stimulate blood flow similar to the effects of exercise, which can have various cardiovascular benefits. Increased circulation can help with muscle recovery and overall well-being.
