If you’ve never experienced an infrared sauna session before you don’t know what you’re missing. The benefits of infrared technology go far beyond weight loss and detox through sweating. Saunas can also be a great supplement to exercise in helping the body run smoothly by making you sweat. (If you don't sweat the first few times in the sauna, don't panic, not everyone has the same response.)

Infrared saunas allow you to relax, relieve unwanted pain, increase circulation and purify your skin. Best of all, since the heat created is radiant heat, it reduces that hot air sensation you get in a normal sauna and is a great alternative for those who don’t like steam.

Infrared Sauna Therapy utilizes different infrared wavelengths to provide varying health benefits. 

​

• Near-Infrared is the shortest wavelength but penetrates the deepest. It has the distinct property that it is not captured by the water of the body allowing it to penetrate the deepest into the body and very effectively heat your body core.  It also does not cause the “resonant frequency” associated with far infrared so using near-infrared alone is not the best way to detoxify. Near-infrared is associated with photobiomodulation which directly produces energy within the cells through ATP stimulation. Not surprisingly, near-infrared helps wound healing and increases cellular repair. 

​​

• Mid-infrared wavelengths are also captured by water molecules while increasing circulation through vasodilation, bringing oxygen to areas needing healing, increasing heart rate and overall metabolism.

​

• Far-infrared is the closest to the wavelengths of heat given off by our own body. Far infrared is readily captured by the water molecules in the body and releasing its energy. Our bodies actually give off far-infrared wavelengths at about 9.4 microns. Since far-infrared wavelengths feel very natural and normal to us, our energy is enhanced and strengthened.
