Infrared Sauna

Infrared saunas use infrared light (specifically far-infrared) to heat your body directly, rather than heating the air like traditional saunas, which can lead to a more comfortable and intense sweat experience. ​

• Temperature:

  Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures (around 110-135°F or 43-57°C) compared to traditional saunas (150-195°F or 65-90°C). 

• Benefits:

  This direct heating can lead to a more intense sweat, which may help with detoxification, muscle relaxation, and pain relief. 

• Types of Infrared:

  Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, and there are different types: near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR). 

  • Near-Infrared: Penetrates the skin surface and is often used for wound healing and increased immune function. 

  • Mid-Infrared: Penetrates deeper into the soft tissue, improving circulation and reducing inflammation. 

  • Far-Infrared: Penetrates the deepest, reaching muscles and joints, aiding in detoxification and relaxation. 

• Sweating and Detoxification:

  The deep sweating induced by infrared saunas is believed to help the body eliminate toxins through the skin. 

• Comfort:

  Because the body is heated directly, infrared saunas can be more comfortable for some users, especially those who find the high temperatures of traditional saunas uncomfortable. 

• How it works:

  Infrared saunas utilize infrared heaters (often ceramic or carbon panels) that emit infrared waves. 

• Direct heating:

  These waves penetrate the skin and body tissues, directly heating the body instead of relying on heating the air first.
