An infrared sauna offers a unique and modern take on the traditional sauna experience. Unlike a regular sauna that heats the air around you to warm your body, an infrared sauna uses infrared light to directly penetrate and heat your skin. This gentle warmth feels more soothing, allowing for a more comfortable and deeply relaxing experience at lower temperatures. It’s a great option for those who enjoy the detoxifying and rejuvenating effects of a sauna without the intense heat.
Infrared saunas use infrared light to gently heat the body, offering various health benefits. They help boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells and improve blood circulation by expanding blood vessels, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to tissues. The heat also stimulates the release of endorphins, reduces lactic acid build-up in muscles, and can aid muscle recovery. Additionally, infrared heat has been shown to kill certain bacteria and parasites, while the body’s efforts to cool down during the session burn calories, supporting weight loss.
Proponents of hyperthermia, or fever therapy, suggest that raising the body’s temperature using infrared energy can help fight infections and even assist in cancer treatment by weakening harmful cells. This idea is supported by the fact that the body naturally radiates infrared energy to aid tissue repair, and using an infrared sauna enhances this natural healing process.
