Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light waves to heat your body directly. This allows them to operate at lower temperatures (typically around 120–150°F), making them more comfortable while still delivering a serious sweat.
But don’t be fooled by the gentler temps—infrared saunas offer a wide range of science-backed health benefits, including:
- Pain relief (especially for muscles and joints)
- Faster workout recovery
- Improved circulation
- Better skin clarity and texture
- Stress reduction and mood support
- Enhanced detoxification through sweating
These saunas are beloved by athletes, biohackers, wellness enthusiasts—and even celebs—for good reason. The deep-penetrating heat goes beneath the skin, encouraging the body to sweat out toxins while relaxing the muscles and nervous system.
