Learn more about how you can sweat your workout.
What Is an Infrared Sauna?
Unlike traditional saunas, which use steam or another heat source to warm up the air, infrared saunas directly target your body by sending beams of infrared light into your tissue. Infrared light is found in the spectrum of sunlight but is devoid of harmful UV rays, giving you all the delicious benefits of a long sunbathing session without the harmful side effects.
Benefits of an Infrared Sauna
From ultimate relaxation to real-deal changes in your body’s major systems, spending time in an infrared sauna has myriad benefits for your health and well-being.
One of the biggest beneficiaries of sauna use is your circulatory system. Using an infrared sauna has been shown to improve heart health by stimulating the body in the same way rigorous exercise does, allowing your heart to grow stronger and pump blood more efficiently without putting stress on other parts of your body.

Detoxification
If you’re familiar with traditional saunas, you’re likely aware that sweat is the name of the game. Sauna aficionados flock to their favorite spas to feel the toxins in their body ooze out through their pores, leaving them feeling clean and fresh both inside and out.
An infrared sauna has been said to dig deeper and provide more comprehensive detoxification than traditional saunas. In terms of numbers, spending time in a typical sauna will cause your body to release 97% water and 3% toxins. Comparatively, an infrared sauna session allows your body to sweat out 80% water and a whopping 20% toxins.
Weight Loss
In addition to detoxifying your cells, an infrared sauna session burns calories at an astonishing rate. Although you may feel like you’re just sitting there, your body is actually working as if you’re performing a strenuous physical activity like rowing or jogging. You can burn over 600 calories in just one session in an infrared sauna, making it a highly effective weight-loss solution.
Cleansing Muscles
Muscle soreness is a common side effect of exercise, but too much pain and stiffness can make it difficult to keep up with your daily activities.
Fortunately, a stint in the sauna can help alleviate soreness by cleansing muscles affected by rigorous exercise. The mid-strength wavelengths emitted by an infrared sauna reach the muscle layer, increasing circulation and blood flow and helping to relieve soreness and cramping in your muscles. You’ll be back in the gym for your next weightlifting session before you know it.
