Infrared Sauna

Meaning

A type of therapeutic heat exposure that utilizes infrared light emitters to directly warm the body rather than relying on convection to heat the surrounding air to a very high temperature. This unique delivery allows for deeper tissue penetration of heat at a lower ambient air temperature, which can be significantly more comfortable for many individuals. In the wellness space, it is utilized for its potential to promote detoxification via sweating, improve systemic circulation, and induce a mild, beneficial hyperthermic stress response. The application of controlled heat stress is being actively explored for its positive effects on cardiovascular health and overall hormonal resilience.
