Infrared Sauna
There are so many incredible benefits from attending regular infrared sauna sessions. The gentle rise of your core body temperature causes a rise in your heart rate, increasing blood flow and stimulating the lymphatic, immune and cardiovascular systems.
Sweating is the body’s reaction to a raised core temperature and will jump start your immune system and help your body release toxins and unnecessary salts, improving your body’s overall health and resistance to disease.
Infrared sauna therapy can be hugely beneficial in the treatment of chronic diseases such as; Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and heart disease.
Read below for the low down on infrared sauna benefits...
Anti-aging
Infrared sauna therapy has been shown to boost collagen and elastin production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leaving you with a post-sauna glow.
The gentle infrared heat also penetrates much deeper than a traditional sauna and is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite.
Sleep
Infrared saunas provide a soothing heat that promotes relaxation and can help restore sleeping patterns as well as improve the quality of your sleep.
Turn on the blue chromotherapy light for extra sleep-enhancing properties.
Circulation
Infrared saunas produce a deep sweat, which makes the heart pump faster, increases blood flow and improves circulation. Studies have shown that regular sauna use can even lower blood pressure.
Stress Relief
Infrared saunas increase production of the happy hormones; dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin and decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol. They also allow you to take a little time out for yourself and emerge feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!
Pain Relief
The deep infrared heat stimulates circulation, bringing oxygen to tissues, muscles and joints and relieving aches and pains.
The increase in blood circulation can also assist with muscle repair and help with the reduction of lactic acid.
Detox
Infrared sauna heat increases blood flow and initiates sweating, which helps to release toxins which have built up throughout the body. Regular infrared sauna use can assist you in detoxifying your body from heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine and other harmful chemicals.
Healing
Infrared is the most effective wavelength for healing the skin. It has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and cuts. It also supports the body in healing wounds quickly, and as a result reduces scarring.
Immune System
An infrared sauna session raises your core body temperature, inducing an artificial “fever” which, although often misunderstood, is the body’s natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response. This immune boosting effect, combined with the elimination of toxins via sweating, increases your overall health and resistance to disease.
