6 Reasons to Incorporate Infrared Sauna Sessions Into Your Self-Care Routine
Saunas have long been associated with health and wellness, offering an invigorating, detoxifying sweat that leaves you feeling refreshed. As technology evolves, so do wellness practices, and infrared saunas are leading the way. At our spa, we use the Solo System® Portable Infrared Sauna, which offers all the benefits of a traditional sauna, plus a few more! Unlike a typical sauna, the Solo System customizes the experience to your body, providing a comfortable session that generates sweat 7 times more detoxifying than a standard sauna.
The infrared technology in the Solo System warms your body from the inside out, rather than just heating the skin. This makes the sweat more detoxifying and allows for deeper benefits. The Solocarbon heaters we use are the most effective and safest on the market. They are clinically proven to lower blood pressure, increase core temperature, and assist in weight loss. The sauna also features LED light therapy, adding the healing power of light and color to enhance your overall well-being. For optimal results, we recommend one 30-minute session per week.
Here are six compelling reasons to make infrared sauna sessions a key part of your self-care routine:
1. Increases Core Temperature
Infrared saunas raise your core temperature, helping you burn more calories while relaxing. Studies have shown that a single session can burn up to 600 calories and help reduce belly fat over time. It’s a great way to unwind and boost your metabolism without hitting the gym for hours.
2. Lowers Blood Pressure
Regular infrared sauna sessions have been shown to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, promoting better heart health. It’s an excellent way to support your cardiovascular system naturally.
3. Relieves Pain
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, tension, or arthritis, infrared saunas can offer relief. The deep-penetrating heat helps alleviate pain in your neck, back, and joints, providing a soothing experience that can reduce discomfort after just one session.
4. Rejuvenates Your Skin
Infrared saunas work wonders for your skin. As your pores open up, toxins are flushed out, leaving you with a fresh, glowing complexion. Over time, regular sessions can improve the appearance and texture of your skin, making it look more youthful and vibrant.
5. Promotes Deep Relaxation
Our lay-down sauna design takes relaxation to the next level. Unlike traditional saunas, which can feel stifling, our solo system allows you to lie down comfortably with your head outside the unit, so you can breathe room-temperature air. This makes for a deeply relaxing experience that melts away stress and tension.
6. Detoxifies at a Higher Rate
The sweat generated in an infrared sauna is 7 times more detoxifying than what you would produce in a traditional sauna. During your 30-minute session, you’ll detox at a much higher rate, removing more impurities and leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed. An infrared sauna detoxes at about 20% compared to only 7% in a typical sauna.
