Infrared Sauna Therapy

Infrared saunas are quite different to the traditional hot-rocks-and-water experience. They differ because they use infrared thermal light to raise the body’s core temperature whereas a traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body.

Infrared heat is safe and healthy for all living things. Unlike tanning beds, IR Saunas use infrared heating, which is entirely different to microwave or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This type of heating technology is used in day spas, gyms, training studios and health practices worldwide. 

Below are 8 Incredible health benefits, both Physical and Mental that occurs when you use Infrared Sauna Therapy on the regular!

Calms inflammation

Infrared saunas are an effective, natural way to calm inflammation throughout the entire body. The infrared heat penetrates deeper into tissues than a traditional steam sauna. The resulting depth increases circulation and calms inflamed joints & muscles, easing overall pain and inflammation.

Supports the Body’s Natural Detoxification

Environmental toxins, which weren’t known to humanity until relatively recently, are pervasive in both our environment and bodies. Sweating is a natural way of clearing out bodily toxins, therefore by promoting sweat in your sauna session, you are aiding the Body’s natural detoxification process.

Betters Brain Function

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a naturally occurring protein in the brain that lowers your risk of mental disease and improves your mood. It does this by protecting and repairing your brain cells and increasing the growth of new brain cells. Regular sauna use increases BDNF, encouraging neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells), which is crucial for improving brain function and memory.

Boosts Immunity.

Raising your body’s core temperature for short periods of time strengthens your immune system. Increased internal temperature activates white blood cell production, improves blood circulation, promoting the regeneration of cells and induces relaxation. Therefore, IR saunas can be an effective, natural way to help the body to raise immunity levels in order to fight off bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral infections.

Chronic Pain Relief

Studies have shown that infrared saunas are able to reduce pain even for those suffering from painful conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, chronic headaches and fibromyalgia. Saunas cause the release of endorphins, opioid-like chemicals that are your body’s natural painkillers.

Overall Glowing Skin Health

Compression Therapy

Using compressed air to massage your legs, mobilise fluid, and speed recovery, Compression Boots feel like a deep pressure, relaxing massage to your legs. Initially feeling like a blood pressure cuff around your foot, the boots inflate and relax in segments to mimic the natural muscle pump of the body to mobilise waste products and enhance lymphatic drainage.

The sweating induced in an IR sauna has a cleansing effect on pores and glands, flushing out toxins and impurities. The infrared heat penetrates deeply into the skin to rejuvenate cells & increase circulation, in order to bring more blood-flow and nutrients to the surface of skin. This results in healthier skin, less prone to acne, blackheads and pimples.

Improves Circulation

Poor circulation occurs when blood vessels and arteries become narrow, making it hard for blood to pass through. CT works by adding pressure to contracting areas of restricted flow, allowing the veins in the limbs to loosen. This loosening decreases venous pressure, reduces edema (excess fluid), and aids the body in moving blood towards the heart.

Enhances lymphatic drainage – Remove waste products including lactic acid

Lactic acid build-up fatigues the body’s muscles pre-maturely – and for that reason alone it makes sense to flush lactate from our muscles post-workout. As CT helps to improve blood flow and circulation following a workout, lactic acid build-up is therefore removed from the muscle much faster than it normally would. This reduces muscle fatigue and ensures efficiency for future workouts.  

Decreased Recovery Time

CT can speed up the recovery process that your body’s lymphatic and vascular systems perform naturally over a longer period of time. Pneumatic compression increases blood circulation and helps your body get rid of accumulated waste in your muscles faster and more efficiently than your body normally can. The result is that your muscles heal and recover faster.

Relax and unwind

A session in the Compression boots is extremely relaxing. CT uses air to inflate and release various chambers of the pants, intending to mimic the natural muscle pump of the legs. This contraction and release feels like a soothing, healing massage, making it easy to switch off and unwind.

Increases flexibility and joint range of motion

Muscle soreness after a workout or strenuous work is totally normal, and that soreness is often followed by stiffness in the muscles and joints, which ultimately reduces mobility. This stiffness, if not addressed, can impact the quality of the body’s flexibility, range of motion and therefore, future workouts. CT works by stopping the onset of stiffness before it occurs, allowing one to regain mobility faster.
