Traditional saunas heat the air to very high temperatures (80–100°C), which in turn heats the body. Infrared saunas heat the body directly at lower air temperatures, producing a deeper sweat at a more comfortable ambient heat. Many people find infrared saunas easier to tolerate for longer sessions.

Infrared sauna sessions are associated with improved circulation, muscle recovery, stress reduction, detoxification through sweating, improved sleep, skin health, and potential cardiovascular benefits. Regular use is popular among athletes and wellness enthusiasts.

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared heat to detoxify your body, promote healing, boost your mood and more. Unlike traditional steam and dry heat saunas which work at very high heats, infrared heat lamps are effective at lower temperatures, which makes the sauna experience more comfortable. The lamps use electromagnetic radiation (which is different to risk-posing UV radiation) to heat your body.

Some therapists recommend that you use an infrared sauna up to 4 times a week, but you should factor in your health and tolerance levels. If in doubt, ask your therapist.

Infrared saunas are considered low risk, however you should take care to drink plenty of water before and after your session to help keep you hydrated and to prevent dizziness or overheating. Avoid using an infrared sauna if you have a heart condition.

Similar to other sauna experiences, you’ll want to go in make-up free and wearing as little as possible. You’ll sit or lie down on a bench or on a mat on the floor and within about 15 minutes, you’ll start to sweat. The warmth should help relax your muscles and boost your circulation. Your session is likely to last between 30-60 minutes.
