Benefits of an Infrared Sauna
Detoxifying your body is important, and sauna bathing can be a great way to do just that. Using the heat produced you can increase perspiration, which helps remove toxins and impurities from the body. Furthermore, infrared heat causes fat cells in the body's tissue to vibrate, facilitating the release of heavy metals and toxins, which are then expelled through the skin, kidneys, and other organs that function specifically for detoxification.
Detoxification
The soothing infrared heat of the Sauna relaxes muscles and reduces tension, allowing your body to drift off into a calm and 'rest and digest' state. Take some time to completely immerse yourself in stillness, while stimulating your body's production of endorphins. Feel more energised, cope better with stress and improve overall focus and productivity.
Stress and Fatigue Reduction
When you increase your heart rate through dry sauna sessions, metabolic waste like lactic acid is broken down and blood flow to the affected areas is improved significantly. In addition to that, due to the enhanced circulation from dilated blood vessels, toxins and impurities are removed from the body leading to a more effective healing process while reducing joint pain, muscle aches and stiffness.
Muscle Aches, Stiffness and Joint Pain
Weight loss can be an arduous process but using a sauna regularly could provide some help. The body sweats in an infrared sauna, enabling it to get rid of unused fluids which is beneficial for weight loss. Additionally, an increase in calorie burn through accelerated metabolism provides weight loss benefits as well.
Weight Loss and Increased Metabolism
Sweating has long been known for its skin benefits, and saunas are taking this to the next level. Not only do they help to improve skin health through increasing blood flow and oxygenation while promoting cell growth and repair, but they also aid in the skin's removal of toxins and impurities - leaving it clearer, healthier and less prone to skin conditions such as acne and scarring. Furthermore, regular sauna use can result in complete skin rejuvenation as sweat removes dead skin cells, allowing the skin to look smoother, brighter and more youthful.
Skin Condition
The infrared wavelength penetrates deep into the skin's fat cells, causing them to vibrate which helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite. This also increases circulation and further helps dilate blood vessels, which boosts overall skin health. And with regular use of its detoxification pathways like the lymphatic system, liver and kidney, toxins will be released from the body to further reduce or prevent cellulite from forming.
Appearance of Cellulite
Raising your core body temperature mimics a fever – your body’s natural defence mechanism for fighting illness. Stimulating this immune response helps to accelerate white blood cells and causes an uninhabitable environment for bacteria, viruses and infections, reducing the risk of a weakened immune system. It also further encourages toxin and impurity removal from the body which ultimately leads to a stronger immune system.
Immune System Boost
If diabetes is an ongoing challenge for you, taking regular infrared sauna sessions could provide diabetes support. In 1980, a study found that two 25-minute sauna sessions can lead to a 110% increase in insulin absorption. Saunas also improve insulin sensitivity, which means your body's cells are better able to take up glucose from the bloodstream than diabetes type two sufferers. Heat shock protein is triggered with saunas, reducing blood glucose levels and promoting fat loss - another diabetes type two risk factor. All in all, regular sauna therapy could be the key to helping you control diabetes both safely and effectively.

Infrared therapy is a type of treatment that uses infrared light to promote healing in the body. Infrared light is not a form of the visible light spectrum, but we feel it as heat because the energy emitted from infrared light stimulates the water in our bodies to generate energy, which is what you feel as warmth. While infrared radiation does not emit visible light, it is a part of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum.
Infrared radiation has been used for centuries to treat a variety of health conditions and more recently has become popular as a way to improve overall health. Don’t let the term radiation fool you, infrared is non-ionising, meaning that it is not harmful.
Infrared therapy works from infrared waves that have emitted infrared radiation, called infrared light, being absorbed by the body and converted to thermal energy. Infrared light passes through your skin and into fat cells, breaking down the triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This process is called lipolysis, and it allows your body to rid itself of toxins stored in fat cells.
While a traditional sauna may have a warmer temperature measurement, they do not provide as many health benefits.
Traditional saunas can be uncomfortable and difficult to breathe in due to temperatures reaching upwards of 80°C-105°C, while infrared sauna cabins have lower temperatures and are a more comfortable alternative, directly heating the body’s deeper tissue.
Some added health benefits of infrared waves are that it targets the release of toxins in fat cells and has been shown to increase metabolism over regular use.
In an infrared sauna, you receive all of the health benefits of high temperatures without exposing yourself to the damaging, extremely hot air of a steam sauna. Infrared therapy is a better choice for those who are looking to improve their overall health and well-being.
