WHY BUY AN INFRARED SAUNA?

There are many health benefits which make buying an infrared sauna attractive to people that prioritise well-being. As this type of sauna uses (perfectly harmless) infrared light to heat you directly - instead of the air around you which is what traditional saunas do - the benefits are more efficient and the experience itself is more enjoyable. As the sauna session starts and your core body temperature rises, a chain reaction begins throughout you - and that's where the benefits begin.

For example, the heat causes your body to start sweating intensely which helps draw out deeply embedded dead skin cells and impurities, which can create glowing and clear skin with repeat use. As part of a healthy diet, the infrared heat can also encourage weight loss. Kenneth McLeod, professor of bioengineering at Binghamton University, has gone on record saying that far infrared sauna use can lead to significant changes in body weight after just two weeks of use.

If you suffer from high blood pressure, this infrared therapy can also help according to a recent study that was held in Finland. Research involving over 100 participants showed that factors such as left ventricular ejection time, diastolic time, systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels all decreased immediately after a 30-minute session. A scientific study (Whelan et al, 2001) also showed us that the use of infrared sauna will help both chronic pain and the wound healing process, concluding it "will greatly enhance the natural wound healing process".
