Infrared Sauna Benefits
Anti-Inflammatory
By gently heating your tissues with infrared rays, these sauna sessions promote increased circulation and oxygenation, which can aid in reducing inflammation throughout the body. This therapeutic heat penetrates deep into your muscles, joints, and organs, helping to soothe chronic conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Cardiovascular Health
During a session, the infrared heat increases heart rate, similar to that experienced during moderate exercise, resulting in a cardiovascular workout without physical exertion. Infrared helps improve blood circulation, allowing for better oxygenation of tissues and organs throughout the body.
Assists with Deeper Sleep
The deep, penetrating heat of the sauna relaxes the body and mind, promoting calmness and easing the transition into sleep. Raising and gradually cooling down your core body temperature mimics the natural drop in temperature before bedtime, helping you achieve a deeper, more restorative sleep state.
Pain Reduction
The deep heat generated by the infrared rays penetrates deep into the muscles, joints, and tissues, promoting relaxation and alleviating pain. Infrared sauna sessions can help reduce inflammation, relieve muscle soreness, and ease joint stiffness by increasing circulation and oxygenation to the affected areas.
Lose Weight
When you step into an infrared sauna, the gentle heat raises your core body temperature, leading to an increased heart rate similar to that experienced during a moderate-intensity workout. This elevated heart rate stimulates metabolism, promoting calorie burning and potentially aiding in weight loss efforts.
Muscle Recovery
Infrared sauna therapy accelerates muscle recovery by increasing blood flow to your muscles, delivering oxygen and nutrients for repair. Infrared light has also been shown to promote cell autophagy, a critical process our body undergoes to ensure cells are renewed and restored or killed off.
