Traditional vs. Infrared Sauna

Curious about how traditional and infrared saunas stack up? Here’s the lowdown — and why we think our full-spectrum infrared sauna might be worth checking out 🌿🔥
According to a recent article in GQ, both traditional and infrared saunas can improve circulation, support relaxation, and even help lower blood pressure.
A “classic” sauna — also called a Finnish or traditional sauna — heats the air (or steam) in the room, driving the temperature up high (often 150–220 °F) for an intense, full-body sweat.
By contrast, an infrared sauna uses infrared light to directly warm your body, allowing for a gentler, deeper-warming experience at lower temperatures (around 100–165 °F), while still providing many of the same benefits.
The article notes that traditional saunas may offer stronger cardiovascular benefits (thanks to the more intense heat and greater elevation in core body temperature).
Meanwhile, infrared saunas may shine when it comes to skin health: because infrared light penetrates more deeply, it may stimulate increased blood flow, support collagen production, and help improve skin elasticity — potentially reducing fine lines or improving skin tone over time.
✨ What that means — and why our full-spectrum infrared sauna could be your sweet spot:
If you like the idea of sauna benefits — better circulation, relaxation, muscle recovery — but aren’t sure about enduring extreme heat, infrared could be ideal. It’s gentler on the body, easier to tolerate, and still delivers many of the wellness advantages.
For some folks, the lower heat makes infrared saunas an especially nice entry point if they’re new to sauna-going or sensitive to high heat; while for others looking for a full-on “sweat bomb,” traditional might be their vibe.
