INFRARED SAUNA
What is the difference between the traditional sauna and an Infrared sauna?
The surface of your skin is heated via convection and conduction in a typical sauna. However, infrared saunas use infrared heating panels that generate light that aids in your body's detoxification, providing users with a more thorough cleansing experience.
What is an Infrared sauna?
Although infrared light is invisible to the human eye, it emits what is known as radiated heat that penetrates deep through your tissues, muscles, and cells to provide your body with the same health benefits as the sun without harming it from UV rays. Infrared saunas provide much dryer air than conventional saunas, which makes breathing much easier. Infrared saunas are far more comfortable than regular saunas because of this kind of gradual heating.
Why do people use Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas were first created in Japan in the 1970s, and improvements have been made each since. Modern full spectrum cedar wood infrared saunas from Clearlight's Sanctuary line are available at Innerverse Float & Wellness Centre. These serene spaces can be used to help mild to moderate health issues, detoxification, immunity, and skin health.
Key Benefit of Infrared Sauna
- Detoxification: Infrared saunas increase core body temperature, promoting profuse sweating, which aids in flushing out toxins from the body. This can lead to a cleaner, healthier system and potentially reduce the burden on organs responsible for detoxification.
- Pain Relief: The penetrating heat from infrared saunas can soothe muscles and joints by increasing blood flow and promoting relaxation. This effect can be especially beneficial for individuals with chronic pain conditions like arthritis or sore muscles from intense physical activity.
- Stress Reduction: Infrared saunas create a calming environment that encourages relaxation. The heat stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good hormones, helping to reduce stress and anxiety and promote a sense of well-being.
- Improved Circulation: Infrared heat expands blood vessels, improving circulation and promoting efficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues. Better circulation can have positive effects on cardiovascular health, potentially reducing the risk of certain cardiovascular conditions.
- Skin Health: The increased blood flow and sweating in an infrared sauna can help cleanse the skin by removing impurities and dead skin cells. This process can improve skin tone, texture, and overall complexion, leaving the skin looking rejuvenated and healthy.
- Weight Management: While not a standalone weight loss solution, infrared saunas can contribute to weight management. The elevated heart rate and sweating can burn some calories, and the temporary water weight loss can lead to a slimmer appearance. When combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, it can aid in overall weight management efforts.
- Enhanced Immunity: Regular infrared sauna use may stimulate the production of white blood cells and increase the body's ability to fight off infections. By supporting the immune system, infrared saunas can be a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle and help protect against common illnesses. However, it's essential to maintain a balanced lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise for overall immune system support.
