Infrared Sauna
Detox and heal from the inside out.
There is nothing quite like a sweet session in an Infrared Sauna. Unlike a traditional sauna, Infrared Saunas do not heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps that use electromagnetic radiation to warm your body directly, creating an intense feeling of wellbeing.
What are the Benefits?
DETOXIFICATION of chemicals & heavy metals
Although you are not sweating as much as a traditional sauna, the infrared sauna is penetrating your skin at a deep level causing you to detox from the inside out.
ENHANCED sleep
Using an infrared sauna before bed helps prep your body for deep sleep, lowering your cortisol levels (the stress hormone).
What Is Infrared Sauna?
IMPROVED circulation
Improve your circulation naturally with an infrared sauna. Heating the body from a deep level stimulates deep circulation and mirrors the benefits of a cardio workout.
MITOCHONDRIAL boost
Penetrating your skin with the infrared light has shown to be beneficial to the deep mitochondria of the cell, allowing your cells to work more efficiently.
SKIN HEALTH & inflammation
Treating the biggest organ of the body, sessions of 20-30 mins have shown big improvements in skin tissue and lower levels of inflammation.
DECREASED stress
The infrared sauna is one of the best ways to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, leaving you feeling relaxed, and rejuvenated.

Manufactures claim that in an infrared sauna, only about 20 percent of the heat goes to heat the air and the other 80 percent directly heats your body. “These saunas use infrared panels instead of conventional heat to easily penetrate human tissue, heating up your body before heating up the air,” explains physical therapist, Vivian Eisenstadt, MAPT, CPT, MASP.

For first-time users, start with 10 to 15 minutes. You can add time each session until you reach the suggested time of 20 to 30 minutes. Saunas come with a timer, so make sure to set it. You don’t want to stay in there too long and risk becoming dehydrated.
-
Most facilities that offer infrared sauna treatments recommend using the sauna 3 to 4 days per week. If you are healthy and tolerate the four days, you can use the sauna daily. Try it and see how you feel!

Drink water. Make sure you’re hydrated before going into an infrared sauna. Drink a glass of water before your session. You can also bring water into the sauna, especially if you’re sensitive to higher heats.
Avoid using an infrared sauna if you have been drinking alcohol.
If you feel ill or have a fever, it is best to wait to use the sauna until you’re feeling better.
Using an infrared sauna will cause you to sweat a lot, so you may feel lightheaded when you stand up. If this happens, make sure you get up slowly and sit down once you leave the sauna. Drink water immediately after finishing your session and wait for your body to cool down before doing anything else.
If you have any health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, or are under medical care, get cleared by your doctor before your first session.
Certain health conditions are not compatible with saunas or steam rooms.
