What is an Infrared Sauna and how does it work

Back to Blog

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared heaters to emit radiant heat, which is absorbed directly by the body's surface.

Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas warm your body directly, allowing for a deeper heat penetration at lower ambient temperatures. The gentle heat generated by infrared rays penetrates deep into the body, causing a “hormetic response”, or a positive stress response that contributes to improved health.

What are the benefits of an infrared sauna? This technology is designed to produce many of the same health perks of a traditional sauna, such as detoxification via sweating and improved relaxation, but at lower temperatures that some people find to be more comfortable.

Difference Between Infrared and Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas rely on heating elements like hot rocks or steam to raise the ambient temperature, which then indirectly heats the body through convection and conduction.

In contrast, infrared saunas emit infrared light that penetrates the skin and tissues, heating the body directly. This direct approach allows for deeper heat penetration, resulting in a more efficient and therapeutic sweating experience at lower temperatures.

Infrared saunas usually operate at temperatures around 110-130°F, allowing for longer sessions compared to traditional saunas, which can reach higher temperatures up to 200°F by heating air or rocks.

How infrared saunas work

Infrared light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that lies just beyond the visible spectrum of light, with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves.

This type of light is experienced as heat by our bodies; it can penetrate deep into our tissues4, even more deeply than visible light, potentially affecting cells, joints, ligaments, and organs (including our hearts) beneath the skin surface. It essentially warms the body from within, which has a number of positive effects, such as:

The heat from infrared light is believed to dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow. The infrared heat stimulates circulation, promoting oxygen-rich blood flow and aiding in muscle relaxation and pain relief.

Some research suggests infrared light may also stimulate cellular activity and regeneration8, potentially supporting various healing processes.

Deep sweating induced by infrared heat can promote sweating and help detoxify and eliminate toxins from the body through the skin.

The warmth and relaxation associated with infrared exposure can also help decrease stress and muscle tension and promote overall well-being, both physically and mentally.

The heat from sauna sessions encourages the body to release endorphins, natural “feel-good” chemicals that improve mood, enhance relaxation, and even induce sleepiness.
