What is Infrared sauna and the Benefits
Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared energy to warm your body directly.
An infrared sauna can operate at a lower temperature (usually between 120ËšF and 140ËšF) than a traditional sauna, which is typically between 150ËšF and 180ËšF.
​
RELAX
Infrared sauna therapy helps you relax while getting an invigorating deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed, rejuvenated & renewed.
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas provide a gentle, soothing therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation & improved sleep.
​
DETOX
Infrared sauna heat increases your blood circulation to help stimulate the sweat glands, releasing built up toxins in the body which can then be eliminated by the liver and bowel. Regular infrared sauna sessions can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of accumulated highly toxic metals such as lead, mercury, nickel, alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid, and other organic and inorganic compounds.
​
BURN CALORIES
Yes, you will lose water weight in a session, but you’ll burn additional calories at rest which can help support weight loss.
​
RECOVER FASTER
The deep heat that occurs during an infrared sauna session helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, so they regenerate faster.
The heat from the sauna also helps to reduce inflammation on nerve endings and muscle spasms as muscle joints and fibers are heated. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, for greater flexibility and range of motion.
​
BOOST IMMUNITY
Each 30-minute infrared sauna session raises your core temperature inducing an artificial fever. A fever is the body’s natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as seen in the case of infection. This enhanced immune system, combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes via intense sweating, increases your overall health and resistance to disease.
​
REJUVENATE SKIN
The profuse sweating achieved during your 30-minute infrared sauna session carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin cells. This leaves the skin glowing and immaculately clean.
Increased circulation draws your skin’s own natural nutrients to the surface. As a result, you will see improved tone, elasticity, texture and fresh color. Increased circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts.
Plus – cellulite reduction is an added benefit!
​
IMPROVE SLEEP
Not only are infrared saunas relaxing, but the chromotherapy Perspire included in each session has sleep inducing benefits as well. Blue, for example, is a mentally relaxing color that has a pacifying effect on the nervous system encouraging great relaxation. It is ideal for sleep problems.
Over time, these therapies will improve natural melatonin and other sleep related hormone levels to help you get better rest naturally.
