Traditional sauna vs infrared sauna in Byron Bay
Traditional saunas create a hot environment, with temperatures ranging from 80°C to 95°C. The air is dry, but humidity increases when you pour water on the heated rocks. As the hot air surrounds you, your body temperature rises swiftly, often causing you to sweat heavily within 10 to 15 minutes. In contrast, infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures, typically between 50°C and 65°C. Instead of heating the air, they use infrared light to warm your body directly. If you’re curious about the differences between traditional and infrared saunas, we’ve covered everything in more detail.
Each sauna type offers unique benefits. Infrared saunas provide a milder experience, ideal for those sensitive to intense heat. In contrast, traditional saunas offer a powerful cardiovascular workout and induce significant sweating quickly. For instance, a long-term Finnish study, which tracked 2,315 men over two decades and was published in JAMA Internal Medicine, utilised traditional saunas. If you’re aiming for muscle recovery after intense workouts or seeking cardiovascular advantages highlighted by research, the traditional sauna is your best bet.
