What Is Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Infrared Sauna Therapy is a non-invasive wellness treatment that uses infrared light to gently heat the body from within, promoting detoxification, relaxation, and overall health. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas penetrate deeper into tissues, helping your body sweat out toxins, improve circulation, and rejuvenate at a cellular level.
Infrared saunas are widely used for detox, weight management, relaxation, and recovery, making them a popular choice for anyone looking to enhance their overall wellness naturally.
How It Works
During an infrared sauna session, specialized infrared heaters emit light waves that penetrate deep into the skin and underlying tissues. This process gently raises your core body temperature, stimulating sweating, circulation, and metabolism.
The heat promotes increased oxygen delivery to tissues, boosts cellular energy, and accelerates the body’s natural detoxification process. Sessions are comfortable and relaxing, 30 minutes, and can be used alongside other wellness or recovery therapies for enhanced benefits.
