infrared sauna

 

An infrared sauna is a wooden cabin equipped with infrared heaters designed to improve the body's overall health and well-being, relieve stress, promote deep sleep and more. Infrared saunas offer similar benefits to traditional steam saunas, without the extreme heat. Proven health benefits from infrared saunas include relieving stress, relieving muscle and joint pain, improved circulation, and cleaning out skin pores.

WHAT IS INFRARED?

​

Infrared is a safe wavelength of light (or energy) which we feel as heat. Infrared heat is all around us. You can feel it from sources like fire and heated sand on the beach. The largest source of infrared heat is the Sun. It is invisible infrared wavelengths that make the sun feel warm (ultraviolet UV wavelengths are what makes it bright). Just as visible light has a range of wavelengths, so does infrared light. The infrared spectrum consists of near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far (FIR) infrared waves, each with distinct characteristics and frequency ranges. Scientists have established that infrared waves are beneficial to the human body as they increase the thermal energy in the body.

​

WHAT DO INFRARED SAUNAS WORK?

​

Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared heaters to warm your body directly. These heaters use ceramic or carbon panels instead of conventional heat to emit infrared waves to easily penetrate human tissue and heat your body instead of the air. As your body absorbs the infrared heat, this increases thermal energy, inducing a deep and relaxing sweat. Because infrared heat waves penetrate more deeply than warmed air, you experience a more intense sweat at a lower temperature. In fact, infrared saunas usually operate between 46 to 57 degrees while traditional saunas can get up to 85 degrees or more.

​

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INFRARED SAUNA OR STEAM SAUNA?

​

The main difference between infrared saunas and traditional saunas is how they use heat. Traditional steam saunas use a single heater that heats the air and that hot air heats the user. In contrast, infrared saunas use advanced infrared heaters to warm your body directly. As your body absorbs the infrared heat, this increases thermal energy, inducing a deep and relaxing sweat. The infrared environment is cooler than traditional saunas, allowing you to stay in the sauna longer to enjoy the benefits.
