Reasons To Buy An Infrared Sauna

There are several reasons why someone might choose to buy an infrared sauna over a traditional sauna. Here are some potential benefits:

1. Gentler Heat: Infrared saunas emit a gentler heat compared to traditional saunas, which can be more comfortable for some individuals. The heat is often perceived as more bearable, making the sauna experience enjoyable for longer periods.
2. Energy Efficiency: Infrared saunas are generally more energy-efficient than traditional saunas. They heat up more quickly and use less electricity to maintain the desired temperature, which can result in cost savings over time.
3. Quick Warm-up: Infrared saunas heat up faster than traditional saunas, allowing users to start their sessions sooner after turning on the sauna. This is convenient for those with busy schedules who want to maximize their time.
4. Targeted Therapy: Infrared heat penetrates the body tissues more deeply than the heat in traditional saunas. This can lead to increased blood flow, improved circulation, and potential therapeutic benefits for muscle and joint pain.
5. Accessibility: Infrared saunas are often more accessible for people who may find the intense heat of traditional saunas uncomfortable or challenging. The milder temperature in an infrared sauna can be more suitable for individuals with certain health conditions or sensitivities.
6. Installation: Infrared saunas are generally easy to install than a traditional sauna due to the lower energy requirement. Infrared saunas can generally be installed using a standard plug or hard wired into a fused spur on a standard electrical circuit.
7. Less Maintenance: Traditional saunas may require more maintenance due to the heating elements and rocks used to generate heat. Infrared saunas typically have fewer components, reducing the need for regular maintenance.
8. Lower Ambient Temperature: Traditional saunas can have high ambient temperatures, which some people find uncomfortable. Infrared saunas provide a more comfortable environment with lower ambient temperatures while still delivering the therapeutic benefits of heat.
9. Direct Heat: An infrared sauna uses (perfectly harmless) infrared light to heat you directly instead of the air around you. The benefits of this are more efficient and the experience itself is more enjoyable.
10. Helps Weight Loss: As part of a healthy diet, the sauna heat can also encourage weight loss. Kenneth McLeod, professor of bioengineering at Binghamton University, has gone on record saying that far infrared sauna use can lead to significant changes in body weight after just two weeks of use.
11. Reduce Blood Pressure: Infrared therapy can help reduce blood pressure according to a recent study that was held in Finland. Research involving over 100 participants showed that factors such as left ventricular ejection time, diastolic time, systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels all decreased immediately after a 30-minute session.
12. Reduce Pain & Decrease Recovery time: A scientific study (Whelan et al, 2001) also showed us that the use of infrared sauna helped reduce both chronic pain and the wound healing time, concluding it "will greatly enhance the natural wound healing process". 

It's important to note that individual preferences and health considerations play a significant role in choosing between infrared and traditional saunas. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using saunas, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions.

Investing in an Infrared Sauna isn't just a purchase; it's a commitment to your well-being. Elevate your health, embrace relaxation, and embark on a transformative journey towards a healthier, happier you. Discover the power of infrared – your ticket to a life of holistic wellness.
