What is an Infrared Sauna?

A traditional sauna typically heats the air which then heats your body. Meanwhile, an infrared sauna uses light to heat the body. 


Infrared light penetrates the skin at a depth of about 1.5 inches. This stimulates healing mechanisms within the tissue and further offers various health benefits. It’s not only about relaxing your body and mind!

Infrared Sauna Benefits

Relaxation


Whether you’ve had a tough work day or you simply need to find that specific way to relax for you, an infrared sauna can help. The heat allows you to fully relax and de-stress. During your infrared sauna session, you can allow your worries to disappear and fully focus on the now. Some individuals even report that they find infrared sauna therapy a very meditative way to realign their mind and emotions.


Detoxification


In each infrared sauna session, you sweat! This is thought to help detoxify the body, reducing potentially harmful toxins. However, during each infrared sauna therapy session, ensure you are properly hydrated. Dehydration can have negative health consequences. Consider bringing a water bottle with you. Drink before and after your session.


Reduced Joint Stiffness and Pain


Heat therapy has profound therapeutic effects. As your body becomes warm, you experience increased blood flow, which provides your tissues with the oxygen and nutrients they need. In turn, this can help decrease joint stiffness and reduce pain. For this reason, many individuals with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions will find that infrared sauna therapy can help alleviate their symptoms and discomfort.


Enhanced Wound Healing


Research has shown infrared sauna therapy to help with improved skin appearance and enhanced healing or reduce scar tissue. It has widely been used to treat various skin issues and disorders, such as psoriasis.

Chromotherapy/Color Light Therapy


Light therapy has been valued throughout history as a remarkable source of healing. Today, the therapeutic applications of light and color are being investigated in major hospitals and research centers worldwide. Results indicate that full-spectrum, ultraviolet, colored and laser light can have therapeutic value for a range of conditions, from chronic pain and depression to immune disorders.


Wellness Benefits of Color Light Therapy


Light therapy has been reported, as part of a healthy lifestyle, to temporarily reduce swelling, relieve pain, decrease inflammation, accelerate open wound healing and greatly reduce overall recovery after medical/surgical procedures. Patients have demonstrated increased range of motion, decreased muscle tension and spasm, and improved circulation.


Rejuvenating LED light therapy can be used for temporary pain management such as joint and back pain, sore or torn muscles, sprains, arthritis, post-surgical scars, burns, wounds and more. When used with infrared technology, light therapy (phototherapy) is one of the most effective and noninvasive ways to improve overall wellness.


Light therapy is also used to temporarily relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD affects individuals when the lack of sunlight results in seasonal depression. Phototherapy helps with SAD by resetting the internal biological clock (Circadian rhythms), helping individuals sleep better and regulate their mood. 

Even companies such as GE and Philips, have created phototherapeutic products to improve and regulate mood.


Cosmetic Benefits


Light therapy is also a growing treatment for anti-aging. Many individuals have seen a temporary reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and age spots.

Light therapy is “effective at improving the appearance of the face, neck and chest by reducing the signs of aging, wrinkles and age spots”, says Web M.D. Combined with infrared therapy, LED phototherapy can be a great way to revitalize skin.

Healing With Color

Color is light split into different wavelengths vibrating at different speeds and at different frequencies. Objects that absorb all wavelengths and do not reflect are black in nature. Objects that reflect all wavelengths and do reflect are white in nature. Between black and white lies color. Colors are wavelengths of energy that, to us, appear as color because of the potential and capabilities of the object to either absorb or reflect the energy.


Light therapy uses colors for their proposed wellness abilities in treating emotional and physical disturbances. Light therapy is based on the premise that different colors evoke different responses in people. For example, some colors are considered to be stimulating, whereas others may be soothing. Color therapy has been suggested for many uses, based on tradition or on scientific theories. Consult with a health care provider before using color therapy for any use.

Red

Red is called “The Great Energizer.”

Green

Green is the universal healing color. Green is midway in the color spectrum; therefore, it contains both a physical nature and a spiritual nature, in equal balance and in equal harmony.

Yellow

Yellow helps awaken mental inspiration, arousing higher mentality.

Blue

Blue, on the other hand, is at the opposite end of the visible spectrum. Blue can be used for any type of ailments associated with speech, communication or the throat.

Violet

Violet is the last color we can see before light passes on to ultra-violet. Violet purifies our thoughts and feelings, giving us inspiration in all undertakings. The violet energy connects us to our spiritual self — bringing guidance, wisdom and inner strength, and enhances artistic talent and creativity.

Orange

Orange has a freeing action upon the mind, which relieves repression. Because orange is a blend of red and yellow, it combines physical energy with mental wisdom, inducing a transformation between lower physical reaction and higher mental response.

What to Expect at Your First Infrared Sauna Session

If you’re new to infrared sauna therapy, you will start with a shorter duration. Many individuals use infrared sauna therapy two to four times a week. However, feel free to find what works for your schedule. 


At your first few sessions, you may find you don’t sweat too much. However, as your body adjusts, you will begin to sweat more. This is your body adapting to the heat environment. Either way, you will want to wear loose clothes or a bathing suit for optimal comfort.


If at any point you begin to feel lightheaded, dizzy, or experience any other negative symptoms, it’s recommended you leave the sauna immediately. 


Following your sauna session, take some time to relax and allow your body to cool before jumping into your next task of the day. Ideally, you should feel less stressed, less pain and an overall better mood after your session!
