Infrared Sauna

3/15/2021

Infrared Saunas work similarly to a fever in the body. The infrared heat penetrates the skin and works deep in the tissues, raising core body temperature to about 102°F (39°C). The body responds to this simulated “fever” by stepping up its immune response and mobilizing the antiviral and antibacterial of the immune system. Additionally, increasing the body temperature to within the range of a fever has been shown to improve the adaptive immune response. This helps the body “remember” the microbes you’ve been exposed to, and to be better prepared to fight them next time around. Near-infrared light activates white blood cells and increases antibodies against pathogens.


Saunas benefit you with Detoxification, Healthy Aging, Weight Loss, Relaxation, Cardiovascular Support, Pain Relief.

I use the time in my sauna to apply warm oil, Abyanga, and then I sit in my sauna for at least 20 minutes to allow for a good sweat before I rinse off in a cool shower. I also make sure I stay hydrated and drink at least 32 ounces of room temp water. This is also a good time for meditation and pranayama.



To get the most from your infrared sauna, I highly recommend Sunlighten’s mPulse. This sauna has three types of infrared waves in one sauna:
  • NEAR-infrared spectrum
  • MID-infrared spectrum
  • FAR-infrared spectrum
