Infrared Sauna
There’s nothing quite like a session in a sauna. You feel more relaxed and rested after you’re done, and the heat helps relieve sore muscles and improves your overall health and well-being.
Infrared sauna is a relaxing therapy that facilitates an invigorating and detoxifying deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session. Unlike traditional saunas, full spectrum infrared saunas use special heaters that directly penetrate the body.
The infrared energy increases the body’s healing mechanisms, allowing toxins and pollutants stored in fat cells to be dissolved and washed away through natural body functions.

• Better sleep
• Relaxation
• Detoxification

• Relief from sore muscles
• Relief from joint pain such as arthritis

How to use an infrared sauna?
• Make sure to be hydrated before going into an infrared sauna. One can also bring water into the sauna, especially if they are sensitive to higher heat.
• Length of time. The suggested time is 20 to 30 minutes depending on the temperature.
• Clothing. How one dresses is a personal choice. Some people will wear bathing suits, while others prefer to wear shorts and tank top or just undergarments. A wrap is provided should you choose this option.
• What you can do while in the sauna? Relax, read, meditate, listen to music, or visit with a friend.
• After the session is over. When the session is done, it’s suggested that you take your time and let your body cool down. Once cooled down, feel free to take a shower or bath waiting approximately 45 minutes after session. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water.
• Number of sessions per week. Most facilities that offer infrared sauna treatments recommend using the sauna three to four days per week. If you are healthy and tolerate the four days, you can use the sauna daily.
