Saunas have a long association with relaxation and significant health benefits, but for many of us, we still picture a steam-filled room. In the evolving world of infrared saunas, the traditional benefits of saunas are delivered with a modern twist: infrared light. With heart health of increasing concern on a global scale, exploring how infrared saunas can support your health can be a powerful tool in building long-term health and longevity.

What are infrared saunas?

While traditional saunas heat the air around you, infrared saunas make use of infrared light to provide heat directly to your body. This deep, powerful heat results in a unique and highly therapeutic warmth, offering a slightly different heat sensation than you’d experience in a conventional sauna.

Different kinds of infrared lights can also be used in infrared saunas to achieve targeted health outcomes, creating flexibility and versatility in how these are used therapeutically.

As infrared light penetrates deep into the skin, muscles, and joints, it can play a pivotal role in enhancing circulation from within, offering cellular-level benefits that result in significant health outcomes.

How do infrared saunas affect blood pressure?

As infrared heat meets and permeates the skin, it encourages the expansion of blood vessels, which can lead to improved blood flow outcomes. The result is a significant reduction in blood pressure, positioning infrared saunas as a key therapeutic tool for those who are actively looking to reduce their blood pressure levels.

Infrared saunas can also offer other powerful benefits for heart health. With cardiovascular diseases as a leading cause of death around the world, many of us are at risk of developing a serious cardiovascular issue. Regular infrared sauna sessions have already proven their ability to reduce these risks, with studies indicating that they can:

• Boost overall blood circulation
• Reduce arterial stiffness
• Enhance heart vessel health
• Reduce stress, which can negatively impact heart health

The additional health benefits of infrared saunas

Beyond providing substantial and beneficial support for a higher quality of heart health, infrared saunas offer a wide range of other health benefits. By increasing the amount of sweat you’re producing, they can support detoxification, helping to flush out toxins more effectively. The deep, penetrating heat of infrared light can also help to reduce muscle tension and provide relief to joint pain. Some users may also experience weight loss benefits as a result of potential boosts in metabolic activity.
