Some people like the sauna, others can't stand it. But we feel the anti-sauna people haven't tried an infrared sauna yet. Those who have an infrared sauna in their homes swear by them. But what? What's so special about an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna is a special type of sauna that uses light to create heat. In a traditional sauna, heat is used to warm the air, which then heats the body. This is the main reason why many people can't handle a traditional sauna - it's too much to handle. However, in an infrared sauna, light heat the body directly without warming the air.
Infrared saunas use infrared lamps to warm the body, penetrating deeply. In return, the body detoxifies gently. Since the body is directly heated, you can stay longer in an infrared sauna to reap the benefits.
Our skin is the largest organ and is the main way we eliminate toxins from our system. Aka, we sweat it out. By sweating via an infrared sauna session, the body can activate its sweat glands and eliminate toxins. However, infrared offers more than just detoxification. So what are the benefits of infrared saunas?
It's important you know the benefits of infrared saunas and get the most out of them. Whether you have a health condition or not, infrared saunas help rejuvenate the body, giving it the support it needs to function optimally.
Relaxation: infrared saunas can help relax the body and works even better when you meditate during your session.
Weight loss: infrared penetrates deeply into the body, helping stimulate weight loss via burning fat and detoxification.
Stimulates collagen: infrared light helps rejuvenate and stimulate the body's energy source, helping the creation of new cells and healing damaged ones. Through this stimulation, the body's collagen production is activated.
Releases toxins: since your skin sweats out toxins, an infrared sauna helps the sweat glands activate, and the body eliminates the toxins within.
Relieves pain: whether you're an athlete or someone who suffers from muscle soreness and joint pain, infrared saunas help. One study found that infrared saunas decrease muscle soreness and increase recovery from strength training.
Improves sleep: infrared light helps sync the sleep/wake cycle, helping people recover from sleep disorders such as insomnia.
Aids fatigue: people have been struggling with chronic fatigue and even more so since the pandemic. One study found that people with chronic fatigue benefited significantly from infrared sauna sessions.
