An infrared sauna uses infrared wavelengths of light to heat your body directly without warming the air around you. It does not get as hot as a traditional sauna and does not use steam. This makes it more accessible to people who can’t tolerate the heat of a conventional sauna.
Infrared is helpful in the treatment of chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, headache, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, stress reduction, detoxification, weight loss as well as aesthetic effects of brighter, clearer, healthier-looking skin.
