Have you heard the buzz about infrared saunas?

They are the self-care secret wellness experts like me swear by. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat warms your body from the inside out—meaning a deeper detox at a lower, more comfortable temperature.

Unlike traditional steam or dry saunas, infrared saunas use light to gently heat your body directly, not just the air around you. This allows for:

- Lower temperatures (typically 45–60°C vs 80–100°C)
- Deeper heat penetration (up to 1.5 inches beneath the skin)
- A sweat that feels refreshing, not overwhelming

7 Proven Benefits of Infrared Saunas

1. Detoxification – Infrared heat penetrates deeper into the skin (about 1.5 inches), promoting a more intense
sweat at a lower temperature. Result: May help eliminate toxins like heavy metals, BPA, and environmental
pollutants through sweat.

2. Improved Circulation – Infrared heat increases heart rate and blood flow, similar to moderate exercise. Potential benefits: Reduced muscle soreness, better tissue oxygenation, and faster healing. Supporting muscle recovery & cardiovascular health

3. Stress Reduction & Mood Boost – Lowers cortisol & boosts feel-good hormones for a calmer mind. Promotes deep relaxation by reducing cortisol (your stress hormone) and can increase endorphins and serotonin, improving mood and mental clarity. Often compared to the calming effects of meditation

4. Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery – Infrared heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, helping reduce inflammation and stiffness. May relieve chronic pain and conditions like: Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Sore muscles from workouts.

5. Better Sleep – Regular use of Infrared Saunas can help regulate sleep cycles by lowering cortisol (your stress hormone) and promoting relaxation before bed. Many users report falling asleep faster and waking up less during the night.

6. Healthier Skin  – Boosts blood flow to the skin. Clearer complexion, improved elasticity, and that natural post-sauna glow from increased circulation.

7. Heart Health – Infrared saunas may mimic the effects of light cardio: Increased heart rate. Lowered blood pressure over time. May support heart health when used consistently

How Often Should You Use It?
Beginners: 2–3 sessions per week (15–20 mins)
Regular users: Up to 4–5 sessions per week (30–45 mins)
Always hydrate before, during, and after your sauna session.

Safety Note
Always listen to your body. Stay hydrated and consult your doctor if you have underlying health conditions such as pregnancy, heart issues, or low blood pressure.

The liver and kidneys are still your main detox organs—saunas can support, not replace, their function.

Final Thoughts
I’ve been pairing infrared sauna sessions with a 3-day 'Presscription Juice' cleanse & detox, and the results have been incredible. Very soon, I’ll be sharing my experience but for now, I'm loving the hype of Infrared Saunas and can definitely see and feel the benefits of regular sessions— stay tuned!
