What are the benefits of an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared lamps to warm your body directly, rather than heating the air around you. Some of the benefits of using an infrared sauna are:
- Better sleep: The heat and relaxation of an infrared sauna can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly¹.
- Relaxation: An infrared sauna can help reduce stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms your body and mind¹.
- Detoxification: An infrared sauna can help you sweat out toxins, such as heavy metals, chemicals and pollutants, that accumulate in your body over time¹³.
- Weight loss: An infrared sauna can help you burn calories and boost your metabolism by increasing your heart rate and blood circulation, similar to moderate exercise¹².
- Relief from sore muscles: An infrared sauna can help ease muscle pain and stiffness by improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the tissues, as well as reducing inflammation¹².
- Relief from joint pain: An infrared sauna can help alleviate joint pain and arthritis by reducing swelling, inflammation and stiffness, as well as stimulating the production of collagen and synovial fluid¹².
