Infrared Sauna

How does it work?

Now more than ever, paying attention to your health is imperative. Using a infrared sauna to boost and strengthen your immune system may help reduce the chance of getting sick in the first place. The idea behind infrared therapy is to heat your body directly with infrared heat. In a traditional sauna you are just sitting in a hot room. In an infrared sauna, the heat is heating your body directly and 20% of the heat is heating the air. You want to heat your body core, meaning your front core and your back core. Your body absorbs the infrared heat and reacts to it.

 

The gentle infrared heat raise your core body temperature and stimulates your metabolism, lymphatic system, immune system and your cardiovascular system. Your body’s response to that is to sweat profusely. In addition to the infrared heat triggering a profuse sweat, the water in our bodies also resonates with far infrared heat and this also helps with the detoxification process. 

Using your infrared sauna can boost your immune system in many ways:

  • Infrared Saunas create an artificial fever by raising your core body temperature. That is your body's natural immune response to viral and bacterial illness.

  • Infrared Saunas stimulate the production of white blood cells, your body's natural defense against bacteria and viruses.

  • Infrared Saunas help eliminate toxins in your body. With this lower toxin load, your body will work more efficiently at fighting bacteria and viruses.

Infrared Sauna Studies

Studies show that spending time in a sauna can boost the immune system. Here are some of the studies for your information:

Infrared Sauna Safety

Infrared heat is completely safe and all objects give off and receive infrared heat. In fact, it is so safe, hospitals use similar heaters to warm newborns. Infrared is a part of nature and essential for life. The human body gives off and receives infrared in the far infrared band. When a mother rubs a babies stomach to relieve pain, it is the infrared heat from her hand that is causing the healing effect. Our sauna has been tuned to give off far infrared in this same range for maximum absorption by your body and for maximum therapeutic benefits.
