What Does Infrared Sauna Therapy Do?
A traditional sauna heats the surface of your skin. A far-infrared sauna’s rays actually penetrate your body 1.5 to 2 inches during a 30-minute session.
Normally, our bodies pump 5 to 7 quarts of blood per minute. Far-infrared sauna rays increase the blood flow up to 13 quarts per minute. When you have increased blood flow there is increased oxygenation, helping the body to repair cells and tissues. Conditions such as arthritis are relieved because of the increased blood flow and oxygenation directed to the damaged areas.
Our Far-Infrared Saunas are great for: pain relief, improving blood pressure & circulation problems, detoxification, and will improve a variety of health issues due to the increased blood flow and oxygenation repairing cellular and tissue damage.

Benefits of Far-Infrared Sauna
- Detoxification - Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Far infrared heats the body directly causing a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.
- Relaxation - Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing, and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna therapy helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.
- Lower Blood Pressure - Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows that using an infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure.
- Anti-Aging & Skin Purification - The near infrared wavelength (sometimes referred to as Red Light Therapy) is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.
- Cell Health - Near infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenates the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.
- Weight Loss - Studies have shown that an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.
- Pain Relief - Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time.
- Improved Circulation - Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use—especially in the mid IR range—can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
