Infrared saunas offer plenty of benefits, including better circulation, detoxification, muscle recovery, and stress relief.

Unlike traditional steam saunas, infrared saunas use light waves to heat the body directly, instead of the air around you. This allows for deeper penetration at a lower temperature to enhance several physiological effects.

Here are some of the key benefits of infrared saunas:

• Detoxification: Promotes sweating to eliminate toxins like heavy metals and environmental chemicals through the skin.
• Improved circulation: Infrared heat stimulates blood flow, improving oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues and supporting cardiovascular conditioning.
• Muscle recovery and pain relief: Penetrating heat can reduce inflammation, ease joint stiffness, and alleviate muscle soreness.
• Skin health: Enhanced circulation and sweating can improve skin tone and clarity, and may support collagen production to reduce signs of aging.
• Relaxation and stress relief: Lower temperatures make infrared sessions more tolerable and calming compared to traditional saunas, helping to reduce cortisol levels and improve sleep quality.
• Metabolic support: Some studies suggest that infrared saunas offer a higher calorie burn through thermoregulation and a raised heart rate during sessions, potentially aiding weight management.

Infrared saunas offer a wide range of health and wellness benefits. The lower temperature and deeper tissue penetration mean that you don’t have to be uncomfortable to reap the rewards of sauna use.

Yes, infrared saunas are considered safe for most healthy people as long as they’re used properly.

Lower heat means lower risk than traditional saunas, as there’s a smaller risk of your body overheating or becoming dehydrated. However, people with medical conditions such as heart issues, chronic illnesses, or neurological conditions should consult their doctor before using an infrared sauna. They’re also not suitable for pregnant women or people who suffer from dehydration.

To make your session as safe as possible, stay hydrated, follow time guidelines, and speak to your doctor beforehand if you have health conditions or are pregnant.

There is no evidence that infrared saunas cause cancer. The light used in saunas is non-ionising and doesn’t damage DNA, making it safe for regular use in healthy individuals.

Infrared therapy has been widely studied and used in physical therapy, rehabilitation, and wellness contexts – resulting in no links to the increased risk of cancer. In fact, some patients use it to support their quality of life and manage pain or fatigue.

We recommend wearing minimal, breathable clothing or just a towel in an infrared sauna to allow the heat to penetrate your skin effectively without an increased risk of overheating.

Most people find wearing only a towel to be the most effective option, as it allows for full heat contact. It’s also more hygienic and efficient. However, if you’re not comfortable with this, you can also opt for light, breathable clothes like lightweight shorts and a sports bra, or loose-fitting, moisture-wicking activewear.

Avoid heavy or tight-fitting clothes, synthetic fabrics (these trap heat and sweat), and jewellery.

An infrared sauna works by using infrared light to heat your body directly, instead of heating the air around you. This allows for a deeper, more efficient session at lower temperatures compared to traditional saunas.

Infrared light waves penetrate the skin as soon as they come into contact with you, reaching between 4 and 5 cm into your body. This warms you from the inside out, allowing your body to absorb the infrared energy directly, increasing your core temperature and triggering a sweat response.

The benefits of using infrared saunas instead of traditional saunas include increased blood circulation, accelerated sweating for a better detox, muscle relaxation, and reduced inflammation.

Yes, infrared saunas are considered good for you when used safely and regularly. They offer a range of wellness benefits, including improved circulation, detoxification, stress relief, and muscle recovery – all of which can promote a better quality of life.

Infrared saunas are good for overall wellness, offering benefits for the body and mind. They’re safe for most people and especially helpful for muscle recovery, overall relaxation, and detoxification.

Some benefits from infrared sauna use can be felt immediately, while others develop over several sessions. Consistency is key for long-term results, like improved skin appearance, recovery, and stress resiliency.

After just one session, you can expect to see benefits such as reduced stress, relaxation, temporary pain relief, and a sense of detox.

After a week or so of regular use, you may find yourself sleeping better, smiling more and having more energy.

After three to six weeks and beyond of consistent use, you may notice skin improvements, reduced chronic pain or inflammation, and support with weight management.

Most people benefit from using an infrared sauna between 2 and 4 times a week, although the ideal usage for you will depend on your goals, health status, and how your body responds to the heat.

We recommend starting slow with one session a week to see how you get on. You may only be able to handle 5 to 10 minutes of the heat, but with consistent use, you can increase your tolerance to work up to 4 45-minute sessions a week.

While some people report that infrared sauna sessions have helped relieve their cold symptoms, they can’t cure the virus itself. Instead, they’ll support their immune systems and ease discomfort while their bodies recover naturally.

Here are some of the ways infrared saunas can help with your cold symptoms:

• Ease congestion
• Relieve body aches
• Promote sweating
• Support circulation and immune function

It’s important to note that some people find sauna sessions worse for their colds, especially if they have chills, a fever, or feel weak. Hydration is also critical for recovering from a cold, and saunas may make dehydration worse.

You can burn approximately 200 to 600 calories for every 30-45-minute session. The exact number of calories burned will depend on your body type, current weight and height, and heat intensity.

Infrared saunas can increase your core temperature and heart rate into the fat-burning zone, similar to a low-intensity cardio workout. While infrared saunas aren’t a viable replacement for exercise, they can support weight management and recovery as a part of a healthy, balanced routine.

Yes, infrared saunas can improve skin health by boosting circulation, promoting detoxification, and supporting the production of collagen. Many people report that regular use has led to clearer, more radiant skin over time.

Here’s how consistent infrared sauna sessions can benefit your skin:

• Improved blood flow: This increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to your skin’s cells, encouraging regeneration and a healthy glow
• Deep sweating: Helps to unclog pores and remove impurities like dirt, oil, and toxins, reducing blemishes and improving overall clarity
• Supports collagen and elasticity: Infrared wavelengths, especially near-infrared, may stimulate collagen production, helping with firmness and fine lines
• Reduces inflammation: Can calm skin conditions like acne or eczema by reducing systemic inflammation
• Boosts hydration: Sauna use encourages the absorption of moisturisers and serums when applied after a session

The main difference between infrared and traditional saunas is that the former heats your body directly, while traditional saunas heat the air around. This means that infrared saunas can use lower temperatures (45 – 60°C) than traditional saunas (70 – 90°C), making the experience more comfortable for most clients.

There’s also less humidity in infrared saunas, especially if using a traditional steam sauna. Some studies note that the latter also only penetrates the surface level of the skin, meaning you won’t get as many benefits as you would from an infrared sauna.

Infrared saunas heat the body directly at lower temperatures, making them more comfortable and ideal for recovery, detox, and long-term use. Traditional saunas heat the air, creating a more intense and classic sauna experience. The right option for you depends largely on your preferences and what you want to get out of the sauna experience.

Yes, infrared saunas can be beneficial for people with arthritis by helping reduce joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

Studies have shown that regular infrared sauna use can improve pain, stiffness, and fatigue in people with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Benefits are more likely to be noticeable after a few sessions, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t notice them right away.

Infrared saunas can help alleviate arthritis symptoms by offering pain relief, reducing inflammation, increasing flexibility, and relaxing muscles.

It’s important to talk to a healthcare professional before trying alternative treatments like infrared sauna sessions for arthritis to make sure it’s the right option for you.
