Sweating out the Small Stuff: The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
You may also have concerns about dehydration, or even have medical limitations when it comes to using a traditional sauna.
Infrared sauna is a perfect alternative—and many find they enjoy infrared therapy much more than the traditional option. As opposed to warming the air around you in order to heat up your body (as most saunas do), an infrared sauna warms your body directly.
This means you’ll be able to enjoy the same, if not better, results of a standard sauna without having to feel like you’re baking yourself.

1. Safe Cleansing of the Body
One of the biggest benefits of infrared sauna therapy is that it provides excellent overall body cleansing without the health risks of crash diets.
In fact, infrared saunas are able to eliminate about seven times more toxins than standard saunas.
If you’ve been feeling run-down, overly fatigued, stressed, or even if you’ve noticed unusual cravings, head to an infrared sauna ASAP. A little self-care every now and then is essential, to not only stay physically healthy, but just as important, your mental well-being.
2. Natural Pain Relief
This means that infrared therapy can help to release and relax stiff and sore muscles and can even shorten your overall recovery time while keeping inflammation levels low.
Studies have found that, especially for those working on endurance and strength training, infrared therapy is an effective form of pain relief.
3. Clearer Skin
How does it work?
Instead of sweating due to extreme heat—which causes pimple-producing oils to litter the skin—the gentler infrared heat effectively cleans out your pores. Many people who break out after using traditional saunas, or those who have sensitive skin, find that they don’t break out once they make the switch to infrared therapy.
Infrared therapy allows the heat to penetrate much deeper into your skin than normal, making the removal of solvents, nicotine, sulfuric acid, and other toxins easier.
The same study referenced above also found that after a few weeks of infrared sauna therapy, the skin’s collagen production and overall elasticity both increased. This means firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, and less visible fine lines.
4. Improved Cardiovascular Health
Additionally, regular use of saunas of any kind has been shown to increase the user’s overall lifespan.
5. A Higher Metabolism
So, how does it cause weight loss?
When your heart rate increases, your body will have to go into overdrive to keep you cool, pump blood through your system, and manage the faster heart rate. In addition to giving you the same experience as a long run or workout class, all this extra work increases your body’s metabolism.
