What Is an Infrared Sauna?
An infrared sauna uses infrared light waves to create gentle internal heat by penetrating the body directly, rather than just heating the surrounding air. Infrared light is a natural part of our environment:
- It’s the warmth you feel from the sun on your skin.
- It’s naturally produced by our bodies during cell healing processes.
Infrared technology has been widely studied since the 1950s and has practical applications, such as keeping premature babies warm in NICUs for decades.
Why Infrared Saunas Are Unique
- Breathable Comfort: Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas create dry heat, making it easier to breathe.
- Lower Temperatures: The benefits are achieved at a more comfortable range of 95-145°F, meaning you can even leave the sauna door open and still experience the benefits.
This modern twist on saunas provides a relaxing and effective way to improve health and well-being. Let me know if you’d like to dive into its specific benefits!
