What Is An Infrared Sauna?
For centuries, saunas have been a staple in various cultures and civilizations for their supposed health benefits. Traditional saunas use heated air to create a warm environment. In contrast, an infrared sauna, a relatively modern innovation, utilizes infrared light to heat your body directly. It's a unique experience that provides a deeper, more intense warmth.
How Does it Differ from a Traditional Steam Sauna?
Infrared and traditional steam saunas differ in how they generate and transfer heat to the body. Infrared saunas use infrared lamps or panels to emit gentle, penetrating heat that directly warms the body from the inside out while the air inside the sauna remains relatively cool. On the other hand, traditional steam saunas use heated rocks or electric heaters to warm the air, creating a hotter and more intense heat experience. Steam saunas produce steam, increasing the humidity, while infrared saunas are considered "dry saunas" as they don't add moisture to the air.
Potential Benefits of Infrared Saunas
Improved Circulation
As the infrared heat penetrates more deeply than warmed air, it helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, improving circulation. Increased blood flow may help speed up the body's natural healing process.
Detoxification
Through sweating, your body naturally flushes out toxins. The intense heat of an infrared sauna induces deep sweating, encouraging a thorough and efficient detoxification process. Detoxification occurs through the body's natural mechanisms, promoting a healthier, toxin-free body.
Pain Relief
People with chronic pain, including those with arthritis and fibromyalgia, often find comfort in the warmth of an infrared sauna. It can help reduce muscle soreness and relieve joint pain by increasing circulation and promoting relaxation.
Better Sleep & Relaxation
An infrared sauna session can also aid in promoting better sleep by helping the body's level of melatonin (the sleep hormone) to increase. Also, saunas are a quiet space to relax and destress from daily life.
Heart Health
Some studies suggest that regular infrared sauna use could reduce cardiovascular disease risk. For example, Infrared saunas promote vasodilation, which is the dilation of blood vessels. When the body is exposed to infrared heat, the blood vessels expand, allowing for improved blood flow throughout the body.
It's essential to note that while infrared saunas may offer these potential benefits, they should not replace conventional medical treatment for specific conditions.
