What is an Infrared Sauna and How Does it Work?

Infrared saunas offer a range of health benefits by using light to heat the body directly, allowing for effective therapy at lower temperatures compared to traditional saunas.

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared light to generate heat, rather than traditional methods like steam or heated air. Infrared light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that penetrates the skin directly, warming the body from the inside out. This process allows for a deeper, more efficient heat penetration at lower temperatures compared to conventional saunas, typically operating between 110°F to 150°F (43°C to 65°C).

Infrared saunas work by emitting infrared wavelengths—near, mid, and far—that are absorbed by the body’s tissues, promoting increased circulation, relaxation, and various health benefits. These may include detoxification through sweating, muscle and joint pain relief, improved skin health, and enhanced relaxation by reducing stress and fatigue.

Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas do not rely on heating the surrounding air, making them more energy-efficient and comfortable for those who may find high temperatures overwhelming.
