”Glow and Go: The Top Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy”
Sauna use is a Finnish tradition dating back as far as 7000 BC. From the Roman and Greek bath houses to the Turkish Hammams, almost all societies recognized the value of sauna therapy. Aside from a myriad of health benefits, it is also regarded in many cultures as a spiritual practice. The sweat lodge for example, is deeply ingrained in Indigenous culture.
We now have the convenience of an infrared sauna, making sauna therapy easy and accessible to all. The benefits of infrared sauna therapy are many and evidence continues to grow that this is a therapy with a lot of potential for detox and healing. Let’s have a look at the top 5 health benefits of regular infrared sauna use.
Brain health support: Infrared sauna therapy has been shown to increase circulation and oxygen to the brain. Regular sessions can increase overall cognitive function by improving memory and concentration.
Anti Aging Effects: Sweating in a sauna has detoxifying effects on the body which can lead to clearer skin by eliminating toxins. It can lead to increased collagen production, which can thereby help to reduce visible lines and wrinkles, leading to a healthy glow.
Improvements in Mobility: Whether or not you are an athlete, the deep penetrating heat of an infrared sauna can reduce muscle soreness by improving blood flow. The improved blood flow contributes to enhanced delivery of nutrients and oxygen to muscle tissue aiding in a speedier muscle repair.
Stress Reduction and Mood Enhancement: The therapeutic penetrating heat of an infrared sauna relaxes muscles and leads to the release of endorphins, your body’s natural feel-good hormones. Can you think of a better way to spend some time on a cold wintery or rainy day? It’s like having a mini mental vacation.
Improved Overall Health and Chronic Disease Prevention: With its detoxifying effects on the body, increased blood and oxygen flow, regular sauna use is associated with improved heart health. Studies conducted over a period of 20 years show reduced risk of mortality from heart disease and all-cause mortality.
