IR Sauna
About
IR Sauna
Infrared saunas offer deep tissue relaxation and detoxification at a lower temperature than traditional saunas, making them more accessible for individuals sensitive to intense heat. The infrared technology penetrates the body, stimulating circulation, and aiding in muscle recovery while potentially boosting the immune system through the increased production of white blood cells. Furthermore, they are lauded for their ability to promote skin health by encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, and for the gentle, therapeutic warmth that has been shown to reduce stress levels.
