Are you feeling that change in the air? As we move from winter into the warmth and newness of spring, it’s a natural time for many of us to follow the urge to reset, just like the weather. This time of transition is a powerful opportunity for us to shift our physical, mental and emotional energy.

Embracing the infrared sauna for seasonal wellness benefits is one easy way to make the most of this moment, giving our bodies extra support for the new season that’s ahead of us. Here’s why infrared sauna sessions can help to prepare your body for the warmer months ahead.

The benefits of embracing infrared sauna therapy in warmer months

Yes, infrared saunas are often associated with colder weather – but they’re just as valuable as a seasonal wellness tool in spring and summer. During these seasons, our lifestyles naturally can become more active, meaning our bodies will benefit from the internal support we provide to help them keep up with additional warm weather movement.

Some of the seasonal benefits an infrared sauna session can provide in the warmer months include:

• Improving skin health – after months of battling dry skin in the winter, infrared sauna sessions can boost circulation and promote healthy collagen production, supporting optimised skin health throughout the warmer seasons.
• Improved metabolism and circulation – when spring and summer call for higher energy and more movement, infrared heat can help to stimulate your metabolism and improve blood flow.
• Nervous system regulation – since the heat created in an infrared sauna stimulates endorphin release, infrared sauna sessions can help to reduce stress levels, improve sleep, and provide stable energy to support you through the longer summer days. 
• Detoxification – if you’re ready to feel your body shift out of hibernation mode, infrared heat can stimulate the deep sweat necessary to eliminate toxins and reduce water retention levels. 

Creating a seasonal wellness ritual

In order to truly feel the benefits of an infrared sauna for seasonal wellness session, it’s important to focus on both consistency and intention. While the time in the sauna can be powerful in supporting your physical health, it’s also a time where you can reconnect with your body, setting clear intentions and goals for the season ahead.

You can add a sense of ritual to each infrared sauna session by:

• Sipping herbal tea or infused water to support your hydration throughout your session
• Using the time in the sauna for mindfulness, including journaling, meditating, or breathing deeply as your temperature rises
• Dry brushing before your session to stimulate your lymphatic system and exfoliate your skin

Conclusion

With the promise of spring and summer’s warmer, longer days ahead of us, now’s the perfect time to give your body additional support for the change in seasons. An infrared sauna for seasonal wellness ritual is one simple, powerful way to release the ‘sluggishness’ that can set in over the winter, supporting you to step into the new season with lightness and clarity.
