In recent years, the pursuit of holistic well-being has become a prominent aspect in the lives of many. With the stresses and demands of modern living, individuals are increasingly seeking ways to enhance their physical and mental health. Among the myriad of wellness options available, the installation of infrared saunas at home has gained significant attention for their potential to offer benefits that cater to a wide scope of health and wellness. With the help of Guncast and KLAFS, it’s no longer necessary to venture to your local spa, health club or gym to enjoy Infrared sauna bathing – let us help you set up your very own infrared sauna at home.

What is an infrared sauna?
Unlike traditional saunas that rely on steam or heated rocks to raise the air temperature, an infrared sauna employs advanced technology to emit infrared light that heats the body gently but directly. Infrared lighting consists of a range of electromagnetic radiation that lies below the visible light spectrum and is thus invisible to the human eye. It covers the wavelength range from 780 nm to 1,000,000 nm (nanometres). This creates a gentle, comfortable warmth that penetrates the skin more deeply than conventional saunas, producing a host of benefits that make it a valuable addition to any home wellness regimen. Because of its warming and soothing effect, infrared radiation is often referred to as “thermal radiation”. So, what are the benefits of using infrared saunas?

Infrared bathing and detoxification.

One of the primary advantages of an infrared sauna is its ability to induce detoxification. The deep-penetrating heat generated by the infrared light stimulates the body to release toxins stored in fat cells, promoting a natural and efficient detox process. Sweating in an infrared sauna can help eliminate heavy metals, pollutants, and other harmful substances, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. In fact, infrared saunas are reputed to help eliminate seven times more toxins than traditional saunas.

Improving circulation and cardiovascular health with infrared.

The heat from an infrared sauna can cause blood vessels to dilate. With regular infrared sauna use, this can ultimately lead to improved circulation. This increased blood flow helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients more effectively to various parts of the body, promoting cardiovascular health. Incorporating infrared sauna sessions into your wellness routine over time may also contribute to reduced blood pressure and enhanced cardiac function and well-being.

Can infrared saunas reduce stress?

Stepping into an infrared sauna provides an opportunity for deep relaxation and stress relief. The soothing heat encourages the body to release endorphins, which are the “feel-good” hormones that promote relaxation and reduce stress. The calm environment of an infrared sauna can also be a perfect space for mindfulness practices or meditation, further amplifying its stress-reducing benefits.

Does infrared help with sore muscles?

The heat generated by infrared saunas can offer profound pain relief and aid in muscle recovery. The deep penetration of infrared light helps relax muscles, alleviate tension, and reduce soreness. Individuals dealing with conditions like arthritis, muscle injuries, or chronic pain may find significant relief through consistent use of an infrared sauna.

Is infrared good for your skin?

Regular use of an infrared sauna can have positive effects on skin health. The increased circulation and sweating can help to flush out impurities from the skin, leading to a clearer complexion. The gentle heat can also stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In essence, an infrared sauna can serve as a natural and non-invasive skincare tool.

Can infrared help you lose weight?

While not a direct weight loss solution, infrared saunas can contribute to weight management efforts. The increased heart rate and metabolic rate during sauna sessions can burn calories in the same way a light exercise session can. Additionally, the detoxification process aids in removing excess waste from the body, potentially supporting weight loss goals.

The effects of infrared on the immune system.

Regular sessions in an infrared sauna can give your immune system a boost. The elevated body temperature during sauna use can mimic a fever (without the discomfort!), which is the body’s natural defence mechanism against infections. This temporary increase in body temperature may help stimulate the production of immune cells, strengthening the body’s ability to ward off illnesses.
