Infrared saunas work differently than traditional saunas because they use infrared light instead of just hot air or steam. Here’s how they work, broken down simply:
1. Infrared Light Pe*******on 🌟
• Infrared light waves (which are safe and invisible to the eye) pe*****te your skin and gently heat your body from the inside out, rather than just heating the air around you.
2. Deeper Heat at Lower Temperatures 🌡
• Because the heat goes deeper into muscles, joints, and tissues, you get the benefits of a sauna without the extreme high heat—usually around 110–140°F (vs. 180–200°F in traditional saunas).
3. Physiological Response 💪
• Your body responds by increasing circulation, relaxing muscles, and producing a deep sweat.
• This sweat helps flush out toxins, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation.
4. Health Benefits 💧
• Detoxification: Supports your body’s natural cleansing.
• Pain relief: Helps reduce muscle soreness and joint stiffness.
• Stress relief: Activates your parasympathetic nervous system for calm and better sleep.
• Skin health: Boosts circulation for a healthy glow.
So in short: infrared saunas heat you instead of the room, creating a deep, therapeutic sweat that supports recovery, relaxation, and overall wellness.
