What is infrared sauna therapy

What Is Infrared Sauna Therapy?

Infrared Sauna Therapy is a deeply soothing treatment that uses infrared heat to penetrate the body’s tissues, promoting detoxification, improving circulation, and enhancing overall relaxation. Infrared Light Therapy, unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, works directly on your body—offering a more comfortable and effective therapeutic experience.

 

  • Reduces Stress: Helps lower cortisol levels by up to 30% (Journal of Alternative Medicine).
  • Loosens Muscles: Gently relieves stiffness and promotes flexibility.
  • Improves Mind-Body Connection: Encourages clarity, calm, and emotional grounding.
It’s like hitting pause—giving your body space to reset and your mind room to breathe.
