What is Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Infrared therapy is low temperature therapy. The scientific principles that are used to calculate infrared emissions from a surface or body say that lower temperatures produce higher quality far infrared heat. A traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you.
Did you know a regular sauna routine is a very pleasurable way to enhance your health? Infrared sauna therapy is beneficial for your health because its radiant heat is known to penetrate the skin more deeply than traditional saunas, better aiding in a number of restorative body processes. The infrared sauna is relaxing, rejuvenating and can even feel a little indulgent. The infrared sauna is a way of life and a commitment you can make to a healthier lifestyle and new you.
Why Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Sunlight is a combination of visible light and invisible light. The seven colors of the rainbow are visible lights, and infrared rays and ultraviolet rays are invisible lights. Infrared rays are one of the sun’s rays. Infrared rays are the healthiest, penetrate into your skin deeply and they dissolve harmful substances accumulated in your body. The infrared rays vitalize your cells and metabolism.
Infrared saunas help your body release many toxins, including heavy metals like mercury and lead, and environmental chemicals. The benefits don’t stop there. With infrared sauna technology, you can also lose weight, relax, relieve unwanted pain, increase your circulation, and purify your skin.
In the last 35 years, extensive research has been conducted by Japanese and European doctors on the therapeutic benefits of infrared radiant heat. Also, methods to induce fevers and sweating have been used for centuries to bring improved health and relief from disease.
Some clients use only our Salt Therapy Services while others combine Infrared Sauna & Salt Therapy for the ultimate wellness journey. We recommend a sauna session before your salt therapy session. The infrared sauna works to detoxify your body and open your pores, which will then allow the salt particles to absorb into your body quickly as well as cleanse the pores during your salt therapy session. Before you know it, you will be sweating and salting to a healthier you!
