Infrared Saunas

Infrared saunas use light to directly heat the body instead of the air around you, offering a more comfortable and effective sauna experience.

While beneficial for overall wellness, always consult with a healthcare provider for guidance on using infrared sauna therapy for specific health conditions.

For optimal benefits, regular use is recommended, but starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing duration based on personal comfort and health goals is advisable.

Infrared saunas are generally safe for most people. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or pregnant women should consult a healthcare professional before use.

Comfort is key in an infrared sauna. Most people prefer to wear minimal clothing, such as swimwear, to allow the infrared light to penetrate the skin directly. However, it’s important to choose what makes you comfortable and ensures privacy.

Yes, many users report an improvement in sleep quality after incorporating infrared sauna sessions into their routine. The relaxation effect induced by the heat can help to regulate your body’s natural sleep cycle, promoting deeper and more restful sleep.

Infrared saunas and steam saunas offer different experiences. Infrared saunas use light to directly warm your body, which can penetrate deeper into tissue, offering targeted muscle relaxation and detoxification. Steam saunas heat the air around you and can help with respiratory issues by humidifying the air you breathe.

After an infrared sauna session, you might notice immediate effects such as a relaxed state of mind, reduced muscle tension, and a feeling of rejuvenation. Some people also report a healthy, glowing appearance to their skin due to increased circulation.

Hydration is crucial when using an infrared sauna. The process of sweating can lead to fluid loss, so it’s important to drink plenty of water before and after your session to stay hydrated.

Infrared saunas can support your body’s natural detoxification process by encouraging sweat production. Sweating allows your body to expel toxins more efficiently. The deep penetration of infrared heat helps to break down stored toxins in fat cells, which are then eliminated through sweat.

Individuals with medical implants should consult with their healthcare provider before using an infrared sauna. While infrared heat is generally safe, the effect on certain implants may require caution or specific guidelines to follow.

It’s recommended to wait at least 1 to 2 hours after eating before entering an infrared sauna. Using the sauna on a full stomach can be uncomfortable and may affect the body’s ability to reach optimal temperatures for detoxification and relaxation.

The use of infrared saunas by children should be approached with caution. If allowed, sessions should be shorter and at lower temperatures. Always supervise children closely and consult a paediatrician for personalised advice.

While infrared saunas can complement a weight loss program by boosting metabolism and burning calories through increased heart rate, they should not replace regular exercise and a healthy diet. Consistent use, as part of a balanced lifestyle, may aid in achieving weight loss goals.
