An infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly, rather than heating the surrounding air like a traditional sauna. This allows for a more comfortable experience while still delivering deep-penetrating heat.

Infrared saunas may help with detoxification, improved circulation, muscle relaxation, pain relief, weight loss, skin health, and stress reduction. The deep heat promotes sweating, which aids in eliminating toxins from the body.

Unlike traditional saunas, which use steam or heated air to warm the body, infrared saunas use infrared light waves to penetrate the skin directly. This provides the same benefits at a lower temperature, making it easier to tolerate for longer sessions.

Yes, infrared saunas are generally safe for most people. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, such as cardiovascular issues or low blood pressure, should consult their doctor before use. Staying hydrated and limiting session time can help prevent dehydration or overheating.

For general wellness, 2-4 sessions per week are recommended. However, some people use them daily for specific health benefits. Beginners should start with shorter sessions (10-15 minutes) and gradually increase the time as their body adjusts.

Before your session, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and wear lightweight, breathable clothing or a towel. Afterward, cool down gradually, continue hydrating, and consider taking a lukewarm shower to rinse off sweat and toxins.
