Benefits of infrared saunas

Toxin removal

Far Infrared Saunas match the frequency of the water in our cells, releasing toxins into the bloodstream and eliminating them through sweat. Harmful toxins like lead, mercury & nicotine can all be removed in the process.

Assist muscle performance & recovery

Heat energy from the sauna accelerates blood circulation and supplies more oxygen around the body. Increased blood flow reduces inflammation, relieves pain and promotes muscle recovery.

Reduce stress

Taking the time to give yourself regular sauna sessions provides a calming routine that prepares you for daily challenges and leaves you energised for family time & personal goals. Saunas provide the perfect environment for mindfulness, breath work and just ‘switching off’ from distractions, all of which help to regulate hormones and stress responses in the body.

Healthy skin

Scarring, psoriasis and eczema can all be improved with sauna sessions. Sauna temperatures do not change pigmentation or cause wrinkles; instead pores are opened, tensions relaxed and good circulation for firm, smooth skin is encouraged. Improved blood flow also pushes nutrients to the epidermis, promoting cellular growth.

Weight loss

Improve your metabolic rate with regular sessions and burn calories while you sweat. Combine with healthy eating and regular exercise to maximise your benefits!

Improved Sleep

Using an infrared sauna can also help to improve sleep quality. The heat from the sauna can help to relax the body and mind, which can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. This can be especially helpful for people who struggle with insomnia or other sleep disorders.

What Are The Top 10 Benefits of an Infrared Sauna?

1. Detoxification: When you sweat in a sauna, the body often releases toxins, resulting in a pleasant and needed detox from unwanted toxins that linger in our bodies. Environmental or air pollutants and skin-care products are common toxins excreted from the body in a sauna. According to Clearlight Saunas, toxins such as heavy metals, phthalates, pesticides, and other toxins can also be expelled from the body during a session (2020).

2. Immune System Boost: While more research is needed in this area, anecdotal evidence (patients' self-reports) in this study indicates that using a sauna regularly may decrease the frequency of catching a common cold.

3. Inflammation Reduction: While acute inflammation is necessary for many biological factors, chronic inflammation can harm long-term health, advancing aging. Heat from the infrared light penetrates deep into the body, causing blood vessels to dilate and improving blood flow. Enhanced blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to inflamed areas and promotes healing, lowering inflammation.

4. Pain Management: Pain can be reduced by improving blood flow, relieving inflammation, relaxing the muscles and joints, and increasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. Similarly, recovery time for people with muscle soreness or fatigue reduces.

5. Improved Sleep & Recovery: Many sauna users sleep better after evening sauna use. This may be explained by how the body naturally attempts to cool down after sauna use. Sleep science today shows that core body temperature must cool by 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit to fall and stay asleep throughout the night (Walker, 2022). While using a sauna at night may sound counterproductive, the body naturally cools down after, promoting healthy sleep.

6. Stress Relief: Exercise makes us feel good–it relieves our stress and promotes dopamine (the pleasure and reward chemical in our brains). Sauna use is an exercise in its own right; although it is more passive, it reduces stress. However, health professionals advise that sauna use should not entirely replace other active exercise forms.

7. Skin Health: Remember the near-infrared light (NIR) wavelength? Applying NIR on the skin in a sauna has been shown to improve skin tone and texture by increasing collagen and elastin production, a result red light therapy produces. Collagen helps keep fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin at bay. Similarly, NIR can enhance wound healing, increase skin hydration, decrease pore appearance, and clean the skin by removing dead skin cells. Interestingly, both NIR and FIR light have been shown to block a certain amount of UVB skin damage when exposed to either light source before exposure to outdoor sun.

8. Improved Heart Health and Decreased Blood Pressure: When studied in the laboratory, this therapy shows decreased blood pressure, as reported by the Cleveland Clinic (2022). As discussed, a sauna session is similar to light/moderate exercise, which means the heart has to increase blood flow. In turn, blood pressure is reduced, and circulation is improved, all of which are great for heart health.

9. Calorie Burn: Combined with diet, exercise, or other avenues, this is a great supplemental tool for your weight loss journey.

10. Improved Energy Levels: By nature, improving blood flow and decreasing stress and

inflammation plays a significant role in energy, whether you use a sauna or not. But since this therapy can accomplish these feats, daily energy levels may rise. However, if one is detoxing, many people report feeling tired after their first or second session, but this subsides as toxins are released through sweat from the body.
