An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared heating panels to emit radiant heat, which is absorbed directly by the skin. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared saunas warm your body directly, allowing for a more comfortable experience at lower temperatures (typically between 120°F and 150°F or 49°C and 65°C). Infrared sauna usage has numerous health benefits such as relaxation, improved circulation, detoxification (heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine, chlorine) reduction in pain and inflammation, immune system boost (increasing heat shock proteins), lowering blood pressure, nerve regeneration, weight loss, improved sleep, chronic fatigue, brain derived neurotropic factor and improved skin health.
