Infrared Sauna
What is an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to create heat. A traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you.
Saunas cause reactions, such as heavy sweating and increased heart rate, similar to those elicited by moderate exercise. Infrared saunas produce these results at lower temperatures than do regular saunas, which make them available to people who can’t tolerate the heat of conventional saunas.
Does it have health benefits?
Several studies have looked at using infrared saunas in the treatment of chronic health problems: such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and rheumatoid arthritis. They have found some evidence of benefit. Nevertheless, larger and scrupulous studies are necessary to confirm these results.
On the other hand, no adverse effects have been reported with infrared saunas. So if you’re considering trying a sauna for relaxation, an infrared sauna might be an option.
Detoxification
Sweating is a way to burn calories and get rid of toxins. Far infrared sauna benefits the body by heating it directly causing a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat
The benefits don’t stop there. With infrared sauna technology, you can also lose weight, relax, relieve pain, increase your circulation, and purify your skin.
Relaxation
Traditional saunas work at high temperatures, Infrared saunas provide soothing heat that promotes relaxation and improve sleep.
Lower Blood Pressure
Infrated saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows that using an infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure.
Anti-Aging & Skin Purification
The near infrared wavelength (sometimes referred to as Red Light Therapy) is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.
Cell Health
Near infrared therapy stimulates blood circulation and more oxygenate cells. It means more toxins flow from the cells to the skin’s surface. It aids in muscle recovery and strengthens the immune system.
Weight Loss
An infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while relaxing! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate and metabolic rate; causing the body to burn more calories.
Pain Relief
Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Improved Circulation
Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise.
Wound Healing
Near infrared therapy greatly enhances the skin’s healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increases to repair wounds and prevent infection.
Full spectrum infrared sauna sessions allow you to forget about the stress of the day and receive a treatment that will make you feel revitalized.
