An infrared sauna differs from traditional saunas in that they heat using infrared light to heat your body directly.
If you prefer lower temperatures but with body-penetrating heat, an infrared sauna may be your best sauna choice.
Studies looking at using infrared saunas have found some proof that saunas may help in the treatment of long-lasting health problems. Conditions studied include high blood pressure, heart failure, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, headache, type 2 diabetes, and arthritis.
A sauna can also reduce inflammation, promotes better sleep, help in flushing toxins out of the body, improve skin health, and boost the immune system. Additionally, it can help with weight loss and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

The Rich History of Saunas
Saunas offer soothing warmth and a revitalizing experience.
Sauna has a rich history dating back to ancient times. There’s evidence they originated somewhere in northern Europe around 2,000 BC!
Since then, the practice of using heat to induce sweating and relaxation is found in cultures all over the world, from the Native American sweat lodges to the Turkish hammams. In Finland, saunas have been a central part of daily life for centuries, being used for both social and therapeutic purposes. The word “sauna” itself is Finnish, and the country boasts over three million saunas for a population of just five million people.
Saunas are enjoyed by people of all backgrounds for their numerous benefits for both physical and mental health, including improved circulation, detoxification, and stress relief.
