The Healing Effects Of Infrared Sauna
An infrared sauna uses light to create heat and is sometimes called a “far-infrared” sauna, with “far” describing where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. The traditional style of sauna will use heat to warm the air, and this warmed air, in turn, warms your body, while an infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the surrounding air.
The reactions you will experience from any kind of sauna is going to be similar to those you are familiar with when exercising; sweating and an increased heart rate, for example. What makes an infrared sauna different here is that these same results are produced at lower temperatures than a regular sauna, thus making it more appealing to those who don’t care for or can’t tolerate the higher heat of the conventional style.
The health benefits and healing effects of an infrared sauna are:
- A deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level where toxins reside. Sweating is the body’s way to heal and stay healthy.
- An infrared sauna will promote weight loss by detoxifying your body and burning calories as your body works to cool itself. You will increase an increase in heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate, which may help your body to burn up to 600 calories.
- The infrared heat will penetrate tissue, joints, and muscles, relieve minor aches and pains, and can help relieve chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Professionals in healthcare often incorporate infrared sauna heat therapy into treatment to speed up recovery time in addition to managing pain.
- Infrared heat can greatly benefit both amateur and professional athletes. Its heat penetrates muscles and increases blood circulation, assisting the muscles in their repair. It also helps in the reduction of lactic acids, which allows tight and tired muscles to relax. If the athlete has experienced a strain or a sprain, an infrared sauna session can be very beneficial when paired with the administration of cold and compression.
