Common Questions
What is infrared sauna therapy?
Infrared sauna therapy uses infrared heaters to emit radiant heat which is absorbed directly into the human body. Unlike traditional saunas which heat the body indirectly via air or steam, infrared saunas directly warm the body, allowing for deeper tissue penetration and a more intense sweating at lower temperatures.
What are the health benefits of infrared sauna therapy?
Infrared sauna therapy offers numerous health benefits that can profoundly impact your overall wellness. By using advanced infrared technology, our sauna sessions promote deep detoxification, enhance circulation, and support skin health. Regular sessions can also provide relief from muscle pain and joint discomfort, aid in weight management, and accelerate recovery from physical exertion. Additionally, the targeted light and heat therapy helps reduce symptoms associated with aging, such as wrinkles and skin blemishes, and can be instrumental in the management of chronic conditions like varicose veins and cellulite. This holistic approach not only alleviates physical ailments but also promotes emotional relaxation, helping to quell stress and improve your emotional well-being.
How long is a typical sauna session?
A standard session lasts 30 minutes. However, session length can be adjusted based on personal comfort levels and specific health goals. New users are often advised to start with shorter sessions and gradually increase their exposure.
How often should I use the infrared sauna to see benefits?
The frequency can vary based on individual health goals and response to the therapy. Generally, starting with 2-3 sessions per week is beneficial, with many users incorporating sessions more frequently as they get accustomed to the therapy.
Is infrared sauna therapy safe for everyone?
While infrared sauna therapy is safe for most people, those with certain medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and pregnant women should consult with a healthcare provider before beginning sauna therapy. If you feel ill or uncomfortable during a session, it is recommended to stop and exit the sauna.
What should I wear in the sauna?
For comfort and hygiene, it is recommended to wear minimal clothing, such as a swimsuit, during sessions. Towels are also recommended both for sitting on and for wiping away sweat.
Do I need to bring anything with me for a sauna session?
It’s advisable to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during and after your session. You may also want to bring an extra towel and a change of clothes if you plan to sweat heavily.
Can I use the sauna for weight loss?
Infrared sauna sessions can be a complement to a weight loss program, as they can help burn calories through increased heart rate and body temperature. However, they should not be solely relied upon for weight loss and are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
What should I do after a sauna session?
After a session, it is important to rehydrate immediately. Drinking water or electrolyte drinks can replenish lost fluids. It’s also recommended to cool down gradually and, if possible, take a lukewarm shower to cleanse the skin and remove toxins expelled through sweat.
