An Infrared Sauna is a great weekly addition to any self-care routine.

In 2021, your focus should be on yourself, and incorporating self-care into your routine is key. Wellbeing is such an important contributor to your overall health, it’s no wonder that people are realising it is essential to prioritise self-care.

Self-care is such a general term and can range from throwing a face mask on to doing 5 minutes of mindfulness every morning, or in this case going to an infrared sauna regularly.

Infrared saunas are different from a conventional sauna which heat your body temperature up by increasing the temperature around you.

While regular saunas do have a range of benefits it is often challenging to stay in one for a long period of time due to the intense heat. Infrared saunas can get up to 65 Celsius without the extreme heat and thick air which can be uncomfortable.

Infrared saunas cause your body to sweat by increasing your core temperature which has a detoxing affect, as sweating is one of the safest ways for your body to detox. It’s been noted in scientific studies that your body removes heavy metals as well as BPA through perspiration, these compounds have been implicated in chronic health conditions.

Not to mention the other benefits which include improved circulation, better sleep, clearer skin, relaxation as well as relief from sore muscles making it the perfect post-work out activity. With scientific reports to back up such claims it’s no surprise that more infrared sauna studio are popping up everyday.
