About Infrared Sauna

Infrared Sauna therapy helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep-tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session. Unlike traditional Saunas, our infrared Sauna uses special heaters to generate infrared rays to penetrate the skin and stimulate whole-body cellular detoxification deeply. The infrared energies from the Sauna heaters augment the body’s healing mechanisms, allowing toxins and pollutants stored in fat cells to be dissolved and washed away through natural body functions.

Detoxification improves immune system health by increasing the production of white blood cells and killer T-cells. Other benefits include relief from pain, chemical sensitivity, brain fog, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, anxiety, depression, and heavy metal poisoning. Infrared light can also penetrate human tissue, producing anti-aging health benefits.

 






health benefits of using infrared sauna

Unlike the traditional sauna, which relies on heating the body by radiating surfaces in the sauna room, infrared saunas use infrared heat to emit infrared heat directly absorbed by the skin. This difference in heating methods unleashes the total healing properties of infrared saunas by heating the body directly and not just warming the air.

LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
When in an infrared sauna, your heart rate increases and pumps blood faster through your body. Infrared saunas have been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure, like aerobic activity that increases blood flow. Studies have shown that two infrared sauna sessions a week, like two 30-minute weekly workout sessions, can reduce blood pressure.

IMPROVED CIRCULATION
The heat distributed through the body while in an infrared sauna produces an increase in blood flow similar to the increase seen during exercise. Blood flow can be stimulated to up to twice the speed experienced at rest, resulting in improved circulation with minimal exertion.

WEIGHT LOSS
In much the same way as the infrared sauna helps you lower your blood pressure, it also has been scientifically proven to lower your weight. A typical session in an infrared sauna can torch as many as 600 calories. Doesn’t it seem possible to burn that many calories while relaxing? Science confirms it. As your body works hard to cool itself, your heart rate elevates, and your metabolism boosts. This causes your body to destroy calories and help you lose weight.

Pain Relief Infrared waves deeply penetrate and heal muscles, joints, and soft tissue that regular massage can’t touch. Studies have shown that infrared saunas effectively reduce pain for fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other chronic pain conditions. It is also hugely effective in speeding recovery time in injured individuals and athletes.

ANTI-AGING
We’re all looking for the fountain of youth; you don’t need to look further than an infrared sauna. The infrared heat penetrates and rejuvenates the epidermis and the dermis layers of the skin, allowing healing and increasing collagen growth. Because of the increase in collagen and the healing properties of the infrared waves, wrinkles are reduced, pores minimized, and result in overall improved skin tone.

CELL HEALTH
As blood circulation increases, more nutrients and oxygen are pumped to the cells in the body. The improved blood flow and oxygen-enriched blood optimize the body’s ability to shed toxins and refresh nutrients, allowing the muscles to better recover from strain and injury.

WOUND RECOVERY
In addition to internal injury sustained to the muscles, infrared saunas also speed up and improve the healing of physical wounds. Science has proven that infrared saunas hasten and improve wound healing by promoting faster cell regeneration and reducing the risk of infection in part due to the improved immune system.

DETOXIFICATION
Our body’s immune system is based on a biochemical process, which is a fancy way of saying that the chemicals in our body directly impact our immune system. One of the most efficient and healthy ways to detoxify our body and improve our overall health is through sweat. The infrared sauna allows the body a relaxing way to sweat out the toxins in the body.

RELAXATION
Don’t forget that stress significantly impacts your overall health and wellness. Stress and anxiety cause and worsen several medical conditions and mental conditions and lowers the body’s immune system, making it more susceptible to other disease. Relaxation is critical to maintaining a healthy and balanced life. Infrared Saunas provide a gentle and soothing heat that is therapeutic and powerful. And the relaxation goes beyond the Sauna. Infrared Saunas increase the amount and the quality of sleep.
