Health Benefits

It's fascinating how different temperature therapies can positively impact our health. Here's a breakdown of the benefits of infrared saunas, traditional steam saunas, and cold plunge therapy:

Infrared Saunas:

Infrared saunas utilize infrared lamps to warm the body directly, rather than heating the surrounding air. This results in a deeper, more penetrating heat, often at lower ambient temperatures than traditional saunas.

• • Key benefits include:
    • Detoxification through sweating.
    • Improved circulation.
    • Muscle relaxation and pain relief.
    • Potential benefits for cardiovascular health.
    • Skin purification.
    • Because the heat is more direct, some people find it more comfortable than traditional saunas.
  • The deeper penetration of the infrared heat can be very relaxing, and provides a calming experience.
    
    

    Traditional Steam Saunas:

    • Traditional steam saunas heat the air with a stove or heater, and water is poured over hot rocks to create steam.
    • Benefits include:
      • Improved respiratory function.
      • Relaxation of tense muscles.
      • Skin cleansing through profuse sweating.
      • Stress reduction.
      • The high humidity of a steam sauna can be very soothing, and can help to open up the sinuses.
    • The combination of heat and humidity can be very relaxing.
