Infrared saunas work by heating your body directly, which differs from regular hot rock or steam saunas that heat the space around you.
This different heat distribution results in a lower temperature, allowing you to enjoy longer Infrared Sauna sessions.
Regular sauna use has been shown to improve overall health given the many different benefits regular users experience.
Deep Sleep
Because the heat of an infrared saunas increases your heart rate, your parasympathetic nervous system is activated, which works to slow your heart rate down. When you parasympathetic nervous system is activated, you relax which helps you to get into deep sleep.
The in-sauna light therapy can also help you sleep. Turning your sauna light to red can help to balance the circadian rhythm (which also helps us relax) and can also promote the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
Stress Management
Infrared saunas are a fantastic way to help you relax. Because infrared light heats the body directly, you can enjoy lower, much more comfortable temperatures so you can really just sit back and enjoy the experience.
Muscle Recovery
Near-infrared light has been shown to increase cell mitochondrial (the powerhouse of the cell) efficiency which makes our body more effective when it comes to rebuilding and repairing muscle. The increase of oxygen and blood flow into the muscles helps to improve circulation, which brings vital nutrients and enzymes to the muscles helping them to rebuild, repair and recover.
Sauna sessions can help you to stretch more deeply after a workout and reduce lactic acid in the muscles.
Reduce Pain
As circulation begins to increase in any painful or inflamed areas, the oxygen-rich blood enters the muscle and circulates the joint, creating relief from the pain. This circulation helps move out any debris from the area and helps minimise the build-up of inflammatory marker within the muscle or joint.
Weight Management
During your sauna session, your blood vessels dilate, heart rate and circulation increases as your body works to carry more oxygen into the joints and muscles. You will notice you are breathing more heavily during a hot sauna session, on a regular basis this can mimic jogging or running. This proves to be an effective way of providing cardiovascular conditions on the body which is why many people find it is are a great way to aid weight loss.
Detox
Infrared is a safe wavelength of light (or energy), which we humans feel as heat. These wavelengths penetrate deep into the skin. Taking an infrared sauna raises your core body temperature, which has been shown to increase immune system function. Infrared works by heating the body directly, warming us safely to create a cardiovascular workout on the body whilst removing heavy metals and toxins.
