*Always drink water during and after your sauna session.  

 IMPORTANT TIPS! If you're new to sauna sessions, there are a few things you can do to make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable. 

• Stay hydrated: It's important to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your sauna session to stay hydrated.
• Listen to your body: If you start to feel dizzy or lightheaded, it's important to listen to your body and leave the sauna room.
• Two towels, free of charge, are to be used to sit on during your session or to wipe away sweat.
• Start slowly: If you're new to sauna sessions, start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the length as your body adapts to the heat.

Research shows the physiological process of sweating has long been regarded as “cleansing” and of low risk.
Sweating deserves consideration for toxic element detoxification. 

What is infrared sauna therapy?

Infrared sauna is a relaxing therapy that facilitates an invigorating and detoxifying deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session. 

Unlike traditional saunas, full spectrum infrared saunas use special heaters that directly penetrate into the body.

The infrared energy augments the body’s healing mechanisms, allowing toxins and pollutants stored in fat cells to be dissolved and washed away through natural body functions. 

Because infrared light has the ability to penetrate human tissue, this sauna, in turn, produces a host of ANTI-AGING health benefits as well as relief from chronic pain.

Infrared sauna has also been scientifically proven to encourage WEIGHT LOSS.

A typical session in an infrared sauna can torch as many as 300-600 CALORIES. 

As your body works hard to cool itself down, your heart rate elevates and your metabolism increases, causing you to burn calories without strenuous exercise. 

*Bring your own water, a change of clothes if you want, and your set!

Detoxification

One of the BIGGEST infrared sauna health benefits is it’s ability to increase your blood circulation and stimulate the sweat gland, releasing built-up toxins in the body.  

Generally, when this happens it will show up as little black spots on your towel. It doesn’t necessarily look black when the sweat is on your body, but it will when it dries.

(Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury in Sweat: A Systematic Review; Margaret E. Sears, 1 , 2 ,* Kathleen J. Kerr, 3 , 4 and Riina I. Bray 3 , 4)

The infrared energy augments the body’s healing mechanisms, allowing toxins and pollutants stored in fat cells to be dissolved and washed away through natural body functions. 

What’s in your sweat? 

The sweat which you excrete in traditional saunas is made up of 99% water and 1% toxins. Where as in an infrared sauna it is around 90% water and 10% toxins!

Sauna sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of accumulated, highly toxic metals:

lead, mercury, nickel, and cadmium, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulphuric acid, and other organic and inorganic compounds.

Burning Calories 

According to the journal of American Medical Association, regular use of sauna imparts a similar boost on the cardiovascular system to running. As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to pump blood at a greater rate to improve circulation. 

This increase in your metabolism will burn calories. In addition, studies have shown that an infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories while you relax. Moreover, your basal metabolic rate is expected to elevate, an indication that you should burn calories at a heightened rate for hours right after your session has ended.

Pain Relief

Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles, to relieve pain stemming from overuse, strain, or repetitive motion. 

If you suffer from muscle aches or joint pain, infrared sauna can help relieve this form of inflammation by increasing circulation and relaxing your muscles Time spent in an infrared sauna reduces or 

eliminates stiffness, aches and soreness that comes with aging.

Blood Circulation

Increased blood circulation has also been shown to aid in the recovery of acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, open wounds, reducing scars. Cellulite is not always reduced by weight loss. Sauna use and far infrared heat can increase heart rate and localize blood circulation which essentially reverses the fat cells to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Anti-Aging

Infrared stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone plus boosts the delivery of nutrients to your skin through an elevated blood flow resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.

Relaxation

In just a few minutes the gentle warmth of an infrared Sauna will help you feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and renewed which balances your body’s level of cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone.

Sauna can also increase serotonin, a powerful hormone associated with relaxation and sleep. Following a sauna session, people show more brain waves related to deeper, more restful sleep.
