Put down the latest cream or serum promising to deliver miracles: if you’re looking for natural therapies that can deliver powerful anti-ageing benefits, it’s time to turn to infrared sauna therapy.

Infrared sauna therapy continues to punch well above its weight when it comes to its anti-ageing properties. Offering benefits including skin rejuvenation, improvements to overall wellness, and support for reducing chronic illness risk factors, infrared sauna therapy is quickly becoming a staple for those looking to increase their longevity.

What is Infrared Sauna Therapy?

Infrared sauna therapy is a sauna with a twist: while a traditional sauna heats the air around you, infrared saunas warm your body with radiant heat. This form of heat is gentler than traditional sauna heat, penetrating deeply and is tolerated more comfortably by our bodies.

This means that longer sessions are possible, as well as an increase in the potential for heightened therapeutic effects.

Anti-ageing benefits

Thanks to the very specific kind of heat offered by infrared saunas, anti-ageing benefits are a natural part of each sauna session. They include:

• Improvements to circulation – as infrared heat is absorbed by the body, blood flow begins to increase. This enhanced circulation is just like a breath of fresh air for your cells: the increased oxygen levels in your blood serve to flush out waste and nourish tissues, promoting healing, improving skin tone and boosting skin elasticity.
• Enhanced collagen production – did you know that infrared heat can stimulate collagen production? This is an essential protein that’s often at the top of the wish list for those looking for anti-ageing properties. Increased collagen levels can help to reduce wrinkles, giving the skin more of a plumper, firmer, and younger appearance. While topical treatments may provide similar lifts, they work from the outside in. By comparison, infrared sauna therapy is all about boosting collagen from within, creating more lasting effects.
• Detoxification – there are numerous reasons why ridding your body of unwanted toxins can be beneficial, including their impact on ageing. Eliminating toxins has a significant flow-on effect on overall health and well-being, directly contributing to better physical performance and longevity.
• Stress relief – is stress wreaking havoc on your body? The soothing heat offered by our infrared sauna can work wonders in lowering stress hormones. As stress is correlated to accelerating ageing impacts, regular reduction in stress levels can have an ongoing and positive impact.
• Weight loss and increases in metabolic rate – since the heat generated in an infrared sauna can also help aid weight management and increase our metabolic rate, its contribution to weight loss can help maintain youthfulness and prevent the occurrence of age-related diseases.

Conclusion

Ageing is a beautiful natural process that can deliver us many gifts in the form of new experiences, wisdom, and insights. By supporting our bodies to achieve and maintain optimised health and well-being throughout every step, you can decrease the detrimental impacts of ageing, embracing each day with new energy and excitement.
