What is the Ideal Temperature for the Helsi One to Achieve Benefits?Updated 2 days ago

You may be surprised to learn that you can achieve comparable benefits at lower temperatures (around 45ºC) as you would in a traditional sauna operating between 80ºC and 100ºC.

The difference lies in how the heat is delivered.

Traditional saunas heat the air around you, which in turn warms your body. In contrast, the Helsi One Sauna uses far infrared technology to heat your body directly, with less emphasis on heating the surrounding air. In fact, a significant portion of the energy is absorbed by the body itself, rather than the environment.

This is why the maximum air temperature of an infrared sauna is not the most important factor. What matters more is how effectively your core body temperature increases during the session.

As your core temperature approaches approximately 38.5ºC, your body begins to mimic a mild, fever-like response. This can promote sweating, stimulate cardiovascular activity, and support the immune system.

While higher air temperatures can accelerate this process, similar outcomes can still be achieved at lower temperatures by allowing for longer, consistent exposure.

In other words, a successful sauna session is not defined by temperature alone, but by a combination of core temperature elevation, time, and the method of heat delivery.

For reference, at its highest setting (level 9), the Helsi One Sauna reaches an air temperature of approximately 69ºC after 60 minutes, while continuing to deliver effective infrared heat throughout the session.

To get the most out of your experience, we recommend starting at a lower temperature for a shorter duration—around 15–20 minutes on a low setting (level 3–4)—and paying attention to how your body responds throughout the day. As your tolerance builds over time, you can gradually increase both the temperature and the length of your sessions.
