What is an Infrared Sauna?
Unlike a traditional sauna that uses steam or dry heat from stones, an infrared sauna uses infrared light-waves from heat lamps to create the heat. Traditional saunas can reach temperatures around 200°F, leaving users feeling uneasy, or they may even have difficulty breathing comfortably. An infrared sauna remains at a more comfortable temperature, between 100° and 150°F, allowing users to enjoy the sauna for longer and reaping even more benefits.

Because infrared light is able to penetrate our skin deeper than heat from a traditional sauna, the benefits it provides are greater. Infrared light can increase our heart rate, making one session in the sauna similar to a cardio workout; it can help boost metabolism and fat loss; provide deep tissue relief; can help us sweat out toxins by opening up the pores in our skin; and can help repair muscles faster. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury, if you’re looking for an additional aid in losing weight, or if you just want a more comfortable way of relaxing, a near, mid, and far infrared light sauna can be just the thing!
What to Expect From Your Infrared Sauna Session
As with any workout or a session relaxing in the sauna, it’s important to keep your body well hydrated. Because your body is losing moisture through sweat, make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your session. While you can experience benefits with shorter sessions, spending 25 to 45 minutes in the sauna can help with in a variety of ways. Music of your choice or a favorite TV show is provided! You can also bring a book and just relax.
