The Benefits of Infrared Sauna 

Infrared saunas offer a range of health benefits by using far infrared light that  heats the body directly, leading to a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level.

​

Using far infrared light (which is invisible but produces heat), rather than just heating the air in traditional saunas, this keeps the air temperature lower and more comfortable without humidity. This creates a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, providing a range of health benefits.

Key Benefits of Infrared Sauna

  • Enhanced Exercise Recovery: Infrared sauna sessions can reduce muscle soreness and stiffness by increasing blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles, and promoting natural healing processes.

    ​

  • Mood Enhancement: Regular use of infrared saunas has been shown to boost mood by stimulating the production of endorphins, commonly known as happiness hormones, and reducing cortisol levels, the body's primary stress hormone.

    ​

  • Improved Cardiovascular Health: The heat from infrared saunas mimics a cardiovascular workout, increasing heart rate and improving circulation, which can contribute to better heart health and can lower blood pressure.

​

  • Skin Health: Sweating induced by infrared saunas can help cleanse the skin, promoting a clearer complexion and improved skin tone.

​

  • Detoxification: Infrared saunas promote sweating, which can aid in the elimination of toxins from the body, supporting overall health

​

  • Longevity and Brain Health: Frequent sauna use has been associated with reduced risk of age-related diseases, including dementia and increased longevity. 

​

  • Immunity: sauna can reduce inflammation and supports detoxification, which play a key role in strengthening your immune system and lowering your risk of illness. 

​

  • Weight loss: an increase in core temperature results in an increased heart rate, increased metabolism and the mobilisation of toxins from fat cells, which can support weight loss when combined with exercise and a health diet.
