Wellness Sauna’s Infrared Saunas produce the same infrared heat produced by the sun. The radiant heat from our Infrared Saunas surrounds you, penetrating deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues, which can assist in increasing oxygen flow and circulation.
Infrared light energy is one of the safest and most efficient sources of energy used to help promote relaxation and rejuvenate the body through the use of heat.
It works by producing large wavelengths of electromagnetic light energy that allows the body to be heated internally. When used correctly, our Wellness Saunas can assist in promoting wellness and recovery.
Here are some useful tips to optimise your sauna benefits.
*Disclaimer If you are a person with sensitivity to heat or under the influence of alcohol or tranquilisers you should not use an infrared sauna. Infants, pregnant women, elderly people or any individual suffering from any medical condition directly related to temperature should consult their health care professional before using the sauna and persons using medications should consult their health care professional before using a sauna.
Long term, ongoing stress can have serious negative impacts both on our physical body and our mental health. Physically it can increase our risk for high blood pressure, increase cortisol levels, affect our libido, sleep and digestion. Mentally it can increase our risk of anxiety and depression.
So finding time to unwind and decompress from a busy day can help lower our stress levels, which in turn benefits our overall wellness, brain function, cognitivity, sleep quality and vitality as well as aiding in improving our mood and immune function.
Devices that emit infrared light can provide many of the benefits of sunshine, without the risks associated with exposure to UV rays.
Infrared heat penetrates more deeply into our skin – reaching down into our muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and surrounding tissue, and can potentially enhance our circulation and promote relaxation and healing.
The benefits of good hydration are well known, it helps keep our bodies functioning; from lubricating our joints, promoting healthy organ function especially the kidneys and liver to flush out toxins. It keeps the tissues in our eyes, nose and mouth moistened and helps to regulate our body temperature.
Water carries nutrients and oxygen to our cells, can help boost our metabolism, aid digestion and our energy levels. So, scheduling in a few sauna sessions a week can be a great excuse to keep up hydration while boosting your overall health and wellbeing.
Perspiration is our body’s way of controlling our temperature, when we get hot our heart rate increases, which in turn releases happy hormones aka endorphins, that make us feel good, they are also a type of brain chemical our bodies produce naturally to help cope with pain and stress.
Doing things to increase our body’s natural endorphin levels may assist in reducing the symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, boost our mood, support our cognitive function, reduce inflammation in the body and help better regulate our sleep patterns.
Which means your Wellness Sauna will not only bring you hours of relaxation, but it will become your happy place too!
Did you know sweating can help improve your skin?
When we sweat, our pores open up which allows for all the dirt, oil, bacteria and debris in them to escape. Leaving us with clearer more radiant skin.
Infrared saunas fall into the category of “low-level light therapy,” which has become a popular form of treatment used to assist in reducing the pain and inflammation associated with various skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema, as it has been found to potentially aid in augmenting tissue repair and promoting tissue regeneration.
However, it is important to remember to shower post sauna to ensure all those nasties don’t end up right back in your pores.
While traditional saunas warm the air around you, Wellness Saunas use infrared light to raise your body temperature, making them the perfect alternative for those who don’t like the intense heat of a sauna, but enjoy the experience of one.
