Infrared Sauna uses wavelength of light to create heat in the body, releasing macular tension and increasing sweat generation. Sweat carries toxins away from the body, thus detoxification. While traditional saunas use heat to warm the air and then your body, Infrared Saunas heat your body directly without warming the air around you.

Infrared Saunas produce the same results as traditional saunas but at lower temperatures, making it accessible to people who cannot tolerate the heat of a conventional sauna. Infrared heat energy can penetrate about 3.5-4 cm beneath the skin to achieve results at much lower temperatures. They also cleanse the tissues more effectively by creating artificial fever for bacteria die-off.

SAUNA PREP:

• Start with 15 minutes to gradually ease into detoxification.

• Do not exceed 60 minutes; any longer than this puts stress on your body that is counter productive.

• Wait 1-2 hours after a meal to ensure your body is not digesting and to reduce the likelihood of nausea under the stress of additional heat.

• Keep up your hydration - your body will sweat out a lot of fluid so keep replenishing. Drink at least eight (8) ounces of water before.

POST SAUNA:

• Take time to rest for 10-30 minutes. This helps transition the body back to homeostasis (balance) and decreases the chance of light-headedness or fatigue.

• Shower (cool to warm water) as soon as possible in order to wash off any lingering toxins. Avoid using any soap, shampoo or moisturizer as these can block up the open pores and stop the post-sauna detox effect. If you cannot shower, wipe yourself down with a wet towel.

• Hydrate - immediately after sauna, drink at least eight (8) ounces of water.

*Consult physician before using infrared.
