What is an infrared Sauna?

An infrared sauna is a modern type of sauna that uses infrared light to produce heat, which directly warms the body rather than the surrounding air. This method allows for a more comfortable and tolerable sauna experience, with lower ambient temperatures while still inducing a deep, sweat-producing heat. The benefits of using an infrared sauna include enhanced detoxification through increased perspiration, improved blood circulation, alleviation of muscle and joint pain, promotion of better skin health, and significant stress reduction. Additionally, regular sessions can support weight loss efforts and improve cardiovascular health.

What Happens Inside An Infrared Sauna

Inside an infrared sauna, infrared heaters emit light that directly penetrates the skin to generate heat. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared saunas use this radiant heat to raise your core body temperature. Here's what happens inside an infrared sauna:

  1. Heat Penetration: Infrared light penetrates the skin, heating the body directly rather than the surrounding air. This allows for a more comfortable experience at lower ambient temperatures.

  2. Sweating: As your core body temperature rises, you begin to sweat more profusely. This sweating helps to detoxify the body by expelling toxins through the skin.

  3. Increased Heart Rate: Your heart rate increases to help regulate body temperature, similar to moderate exercise. This can improve cardiovascular health over time.

  4. Muscle Relaxation: The heat helps to relax muscles and joints, reducing pain and stiffness. This is particularly beneficial for those with arthritis or muscle injuries.

  5. Improved Circulation: The heat causes blood vessels to dilate, improving blood flow and oxygenation of tissues, which promotes healing and recovery.

  6. Skin Purification: Sweating helps to cleanse the skin, removing impurities and promoting a healthier complexion.

  7. Stress Reduction: The warm environment promotes relaxation, reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being.

  8. Caloric Burn: The increased heart rate and sweating can help burn calories, supporting weight loss and metabolic health.

Overall, an infrared sauna session provides a holistic approach to health by leveraging the benefits of infrared light to enhance physical and mental well-being.

Dr. Soto treated my 90+ year old grandmother for pain in her back and then went on to treat her for cancer pain since my grandmother was allergic to pain medicines that cause vomiting, therefore intensifying her long suffering. My mom has been to Dr. Soto for pain in her wrist and hip, and allergies. After years of having trouble breathing (from congestion), my mom is able to breathe and live a more active life.
