The infrared sauna is a sauna modality that uses infrared radiation to heat the body more directly than traditional saunas, which heat the surrounding air.
This approach has numerous health benefits:
Relaxation and stress relief
Infrared heat penetrates deeply into tissues, promoting muscle relaxation, easing tension, reducing stress, and enhancing mental well-being.
Detoxification
The sweat induced by the infrared sauna helps eliminate toxins from the body. This deep sweating contributes to healthier skin and the removal of heavy metals and other harmful compounds.
Improved circulation
Infrared heat dilates blood vessels, which can increase blood flow and improve circulation. This can be beneficial for people with blood pressure issues or circulatory problems.
