Infrared is the warmth that naturally comes from the sun, minus the harmful UV rays. The unique thing about infrared is that by using direct heat, the infrared saunas have the ability to heat the body from its core. By increasing your core temperature, you allow the body to detoxify much deeper from the skin’s cellular level.
Traditional Saunas dehydrate you more than an Infrared Sauna and remove more water but fewer toxins. Traditional Saunas only remove up to 3% of toxins in your body, whereas an Infrared Sauna can remove up to 20% of toxins in your body.
Traditional Saunas only heat the air around you, whereas Infrared saunas penetrate deep within your body at a cellular level. Infrared sauns use dry heat, whereas traditional saunas use humid heat resulting in poor air quality, which can often be unbearable. Traditional Saunas only heat the surface of your skin through convection and conduction. Infrared saunas use infrared heat panels that emit light, helping your body to detoxify, giving users a deeper cleansing experience.
As the body is heated, the heart rate naturally increases and the blood vessels beneath the skin expand to dissipate the excess heat. This response can provide a beneficial low-intensity workout for your circulatory and cardiovascular system.
Because infrared saunas penetrate the skin more deeply, they can promote more intense sweating, which helps remove toxins from the body. Using an Infrared Sauna frequently will boost your circulation, which increases the capability of your body to transport toxins to your liver & kidneys, so they may process and eliminate them.
Deep heating from infrared saunas raises the body’s core temperature. This is thought to stimulate an artificial fever, which is the body’s natural way of strengthening the immune system.
Infrared heat penetrates the skin deep into the muscles, tissue & blood cells, producing a detoxifying sweat that rids the body of toxins and harmful substances.
