The infrared sauna

An infrared sauna offers a unique form of heat and relaxation that provides various health benefits. Find out what makes an infrared sauna so special, what benefits it offers and what to look out for when choosing the perfect sauna.

What is an infrared sauna?

An infrared sauna uses infrared radiation to heat the body directly, rather than the air as in traditional saunas. This radiation penetrates deep into the skin and provides pleasant and therapeutic heat, with temperatures between 40°C and 60°C.

Health benefits of the infrared sauna

There are numerous benefits of using an infrared sauna:

• Pain relief: It helps to relieve muscle and joint pain, which is especially useful for rheumatoid arthritis patients.
• Improved blood circulation: The heat stimulates blood flow, contributing to better overall health.
• Detoxification: Sweating helps remove toxins from the body.
• Relaxation: The heat helps relax muscles and reduces stress.

Types of infrared heaters

Infrared saunas use different types of emitters:

• Short-wave emitters: Penetrate deep into the skin and provide intensive heat.
• Long-wave emitters: Primarily heat the surrounding area and provide mild heat.
• Medium wave emitters: Offer a balance between short and long waves, ideal for a comfortable experience.
