What is an Infrared Sauna?
Our custom-made infrared sauna uses advanced heating methods to gently warm the body from within. The full-spectrum infrared heaters use different wavelengths to penetrate different depths deep beneath the skin, promoting a slew of health advantages. This differs from a dry sauna, which heats the air around you instead of directly heating your body. Our infrared sauna uses infrared heat to operate around 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Key Benefits of Infrared Saunas:
- Boosted Metabolism: Amplify your body’s natural metabolism as the gentle heat of infrared raises your core temperature and aids in the burning of calories through thermogenesis.
- Improved Circulation: Foster your body’s ability to circulate blood more effectively.
- Calorie Burn: Experience a calorie burn akin to an aerobic workout without the strain.
- Post-Activity Recovery: Accelerate recovery times and soothe sore muscles post-exercise.
- Reduces Chronic Pain and Fatigue: Infrared heat can offer relief from the symptoms of pain you’ve experienced over time
- Enhanced relaxation: Saunas provide a calm, relaxing experience. Many regular sauna users also report improvements in sleep.
What is a Dry Sauna?
For the purists, our traditional, regular sauna provides a time-honored way to unwind. Our traditional dry saunas will operate between 180 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heating the air around you, these saunas bring about their own array of wellness benefits:
Key Benefits of Dry Saunas:
- Detoxification: Engage in an intense sweat session to help flush toxins from your body.
- Fat Burning: Support your weight loss goals with the supplementary fat-burning effect of high heat.
- Immunity Boost: When you have a fever, your body is fighting off viruses and bacteria. Dry sauna heat mimics that biological response.
- Pain Reduction: Alleviate discomfort stemming from a variety of pain-related health conditions.
- Deep Relaxation: Sit back and relax in an environment that encourages physical and mental decompression.
- Reduced Risk of Disease: Studies of Finnish men indicate that frequent dry sauna exposure can reduce the risk of heart disease, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.*
Contrast Therapy
Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures to enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness. One popular method of contrast therapy involves using a sauna followed by a cold plunge. The sauna heats up the body and increases blood flow, while our cold plunge constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammation, activates brown fat cell which in turn increases metabolism causing calorie burn and glucose uptake . Alternating between hot and cold temperatures improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and reduces muscle soreness. Additionally, contrast therapy has been shown to relieve stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Incorporating contrast therapy into your wellness routine can help you feel rejuvenated and energized. Check out our Cold Plunge Tubs for more information. (link to Cold Plunge section)
