What is an infrared sauna
Heat That Works Differently.
Sauna bathing has been part of wellness traditions for thousands of years, with cultures around the world embracing heat as a way to promote relaxation, recovery, community, and overall well-being. From the traditional Finnish sauna to modern infrared technology, the goal has remained the same: using heat to help the body recover, restore, and recharge.
Unlike a traditional sauna, which heats the air around you, an infrared sauna uses infrared light to gently warm your body directly. This creates a comfortable, deeply penetrating warmth while operating at lower temperatures than traditional saunas.
Many people find infrared saunas easier to tolerate while still enjoying the restorative benefits of heat therapy.

Infrared vs. traditional sauna
A Modern Approach to an Ancient Wellness Practice.
Traditional saunas heat the surrounding air—often reaching 180–220°F using heated rocks or electric heaters. Your body then warms as you sit within the hot environment.
Infrared saunas work differently. Rather than heating the air first, infrared light gently warms your body directly while maintaining a more comfortable air temperature, typically around 120–150°F.
The result is a deeply relaxing experience that encourages sweating, circulation, and recovery without the overwhelming intensity that many people associate with traditional saunas.
