Heat stress activates a thermoregulatory response, where the body begins sweating to cool back down. Sweat is mainly composed of water and electrolytes but also contains toxins like heavy metals. As you acclimate to the heat, you’ll become more efficient at regulating your body temperature through a sweat response.
Detox + Cleanse
Sweat out toxins at a more comfortable air temperature than traditional Finnish saunas.
Muscle Recovery
Infrared saunas can reduce inflammation and feelings of pain, helping you recover from the stresses of everyday life and tough workouts. By prioritizing recovery, you can limit feelings of muscle soreness and tension.
Heart Health
Regular heat therapy is linked to improvements in heart health and lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Exposure to heat stress causes the core body temperature to rise, stimulating blood vessel dilation throughout the body.
The result is an increase in blood flow, heart rate, and cardiac output. This 'workout' of the cardiovascular system has significant beneficial effects on the vascular system, similar to how the body responds to aerobic exercise.
Boost Metabolism
As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and working to regulate your body temperature - and this translates to burning calories during and after your sauna session.
