WHAT IS INFRARED HEAT?
Who doesn’t love the soothing feeling of warm summer sun on your skin? Infrared heat is like the heat you feel when you get in your car after it’s been parking outside. It’s the warmth you feel on your skin when you relax on the beach. Our heaters, like the sun, produce this type of heat that invites you to relax and restore, without the negative effects of UV radiation.
Here are just a few of the benefits of infrared heat:
-
Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s most natural ways to eliminate toxins, making it a crucial part of detoxification. Infrared heat will allow you to sweat out more toxins than traditional forced air.
-
Relaxation
Infrared promotes relaxation by helping to balance your body’s level of cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. The heat generated by the panels in the studio will also help to relax muscles and relieve tension throughout the body, allowing you to relax and de-stress.
-
Boosts Immunity
Because raising your core body temperature boosts your immunity (by producing more white blood cells) while creating a heated environment in which bacteria can’t survive, infrared heat actually keeps you healthier. The more you practice, the healthier your immune system!
-
Weight Loss
The heat generated by our infrared panels will cause your core temperature to increase, which can also lead to an increased heart rate. When your body has to work harder to lower your core temperature or keep up with an increased heart rate, your body will burn more calories, resulting in weight loss. An article, titled Effect of Sweating, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, concluded that a 30-minute infrared sauna session could burn roughly 600 calories.

Skin Purification
Infrared technology can help purify your skin by eliminating toxins from your pores and increasing circulation, resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.
If you have any concerns about your health in regard to infrared heat, please consult your physician.
