Benefits
-
Regular infrared sauna sessions can stimulate collagen production over time.
This will result in fewer wrinkles, better skin color tone, and more supple and smoother skin.
-
The intense, short-term heat from an infrared sauna helps raise the body's core temperature, which causes blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow.
This enables the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to support cellular repair and regeneration.
-
Infrared saunas can provide relief from body aches or discomfort caused by inflammation or injury, accelerating healing.
Reduce chronic pain caused by conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
-
Effectively reduce oxidative stress.
Stimulates the mitochondria, which are the power generators of cells that boost ATP production and helps the body overcome cellular degeneration from oxidative stress.
-
The Infrared light can cut through 3-4 cm into the fat tissues, muscles, and nerves serving these muscles, becoming effective in helping reduce lactic acid buildup in the neuromuscular system.
Speeds and improves the recovery process during a strenuous physical activity.
-
Increases serotonin levels in the brain, leading to mood enhancement.
What is an infrared sauna?
Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly.
“These saunas use infrared panels instead of conventional heat to easily penetrate human tissue, heating up your body before heating up the air,” explains physical therapist, Vivian Eisenstadt, MAPT, CPT, MASP.
An infrared sauna can operate at a lower temperature (usually between 120˚F and 140˚F) than a traditional sauna, which is typically between 150˚F and 180˚F.
Manufacturers claim that in an infrared sauna, only about 20 percent of the heat goes to heat the air and the other 80 percent directly heats your body.
