Infrared sauna therapy has a whole host of health benefits, as infrared light has the ability to penetrate skin tissue and offer natural healing and preventative health properties.

Detoxification

The skin is one of our largest organs, and one of our primary pathways for elimination. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural methods of detoxification. This can help strengthen the body’s immune system by purging it of heavy metals and toxic chemicals while sparing the liver and kidneys some of that work. This helps our body function more efficiently overall.

Relaxation

The warmth of the sauna helps to relax the muscles and ease the stress of the moment. Also, taking the time to engage in mindful meditation during a sauna session can help encourage relaxation and stress reduction.

Weight loss

Studies have shown that sauna therapy helps the body maintain healthy levels of cortisol. Also, as body temperature rises, this causes an increase in heart rate, metabolism, and detoxification pathways, leading to an increase in calories burned. Infrared sauna therapy can be a good way to give yourself a passive cardiovascular workout without the physical stress that the body experiences during exercise.

Pain relief

By increasing circulation, infrared sauna therapy can help to decrease pain by delivering more oxygenated blood to muscles and joints, and aid in the removal of waste products from those areas.

Blood pressure reduction and improved circulation

Infrared sauna therapy induces deep heating within the body, which in turn causes the heart to pump faster and blood vessels to expand, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving circulatory health.
