Feel the Heat

You’ve probably heard by now that Saunas are good for you…. All that feel-good, self-care lingo through the social media grapevine. Here’s a more detailed breakdown on just HOW beneficial  infrared sauna sessions can be for your health:

Detoxification: Sweating through the deep infrared penetration eliminates toxins from your body for an overall system detox. Some of these include heavy metals, hormone disruptors from food and cosmetics, drug residues, sugars and alcohols, and persistent pollutant toxins.

Weight Loss: Stimulates sluggish metabolism, burns calories and improves fat burning for energy.

Clearer and Tighter Skin: Suppresses skin photoaging too and encourages skin renewal.

Relaxation: Endorphin release boosts better mood and relaxes mind & body.

Better sleep: Calm mind and body sets up an environment for better sleep. My deepest, most restful night sleep always occurs after a session in the sauna.

Reduces inflammation for Deep tissue Relief - This will help alleviate joint pain related to arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions.

Relieves Sore Muscles for better post workout recovery.

Improves Blood Circulation: This promotes better heart health, blood sugar regulation, stiffness, and reduces blood pressure.

Immune Booster against Colds & Viruses: Helps both reduce the incidence of cold & flu and speeds up recovery when already sick. The antiviral benefits are particularly important now as we approach both flu season and are still in the midst of  COVID. Here is an excerpt from a recent reputable study: “In initial phases of infection, heat from infrared Saunas applied to upper airways can support our immune’s first line of defense by inhibiting or deactivating Virions where they first lodge. The heat can further support our immune’s second line of defense by mimicking fever and activating immune defenses and building physiological resilience” *Read more on how infrared saunas help our immune systems fight colds & viruses: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7372531/
