INFRARED SAUNA
Infrared sauna therapy is known for its many holistic benefits, which include:
Detoxification: Sweating is the body's natural way of detoxifying, and infrared saunas can help promote this process by inducing a deep sweat. Sweating in an infrared sauna can help to flush out toxins from the body, including heavy metals and environmental pollutants.
Relaxation: Infrared sauna therapy can be incredibly relaxing, helping to reduce stress and promote feelings of calm and relaxation. This is because the heat from the sauna helps to release endorphins, which are the body's natural "feel good" chemicals.
Pain Relief: Infrared saunas can also help to relieve pain, including chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. The heat from the sauna helps to increase circulation, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Skin Health: Infrared saunas can also be beneficial for the skin, helping to improve tone, texture, and overall appearance. The heat helps to increase blood flow to the skin, which can promote collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Immune Boosting: Infrared sauna therapy can also help to boost the immune system by increasing circulation and promoting the production of white blood cells. This can help the body to better fight off infections and illnesses.
Overall, the holistic benefits of infrared sauna therapy are numerous, making it a popular choice for those seeking a natural way to promote health and well-being.

Here are some general tips to prepare for infrared sauna therapy:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and after your sauna session to stay hydrated. This is especially important since you will be sweating during the session.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine before your sauna session, as they can dehydrate you and make it harder for your body to sweat.
Dress appropriately: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your sauna session. Avoid wearing jewelry or anything else that might get hot.
Shower: Take a quick shower before your session to remove any lotions, perfumes, or oils from your skin.
Remove Jewelry and Makeup: It's best to remove any jewelry and makeup before entering the sauna, as the heat can cause these to become uncomfortable or even burn your skin.
Bring towels: Bring a few towels with you to your session. You will need one to sit on and another to wipe away sweat.
Don't eat a heavy meal: Avoid eating a heavy meal right before your session, as this can make you feel uncomfortable during the sauna.
Consult with your healthcare provider: If you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medication, it's a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider before starting infrared sauna therapy.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your infrared sauna session is safe and enjoyable.
