How does a far infrared sauna work?Updated 2 months ago

Infrared therapy aims to heat your body directly with far infrared heat. In a traditional sauna, you are just sitting in a hot room between 80°C and 105°C. In an infrared sauna, the heat is heating your body directly, and only 20% of the heat is heating the air.

You want to heat your body core, meaning your front core, and your back core. Your body absorbs the infrared heat and reacts to it. The gentle infrared heat raises your core body temperature and stimulates your metabolism, lymphatic system, immune system and your cardiovascular system. Your body’s response to that is to sweat profusely. In addition to the infrared heat triggering profuse sweat, the water in our bodies also resonates with far infrared heat, which also helps with the detoxification process.
