Full Spectrum InfraRed Sauna FAQ


A full spectrum infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared light to heat the body directly, rather than heating the air around you. The sauna emits three types of infrared wavelengths - near, mid, and far - which penetrate the skin and help to increase body temperature, promote sweating, and provide a range of health benefits.

The benefits of using a full spectrum infrared sauna include improved circulation, detoxification, relaxation, pain relief, weight loss, and improved skin health. In addition, the infrared heat can also help to boost immune function and reduce the symptoms of conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue.
