INFRARED SAUNA

A traditional sauna uses convection and conduction to heat the air around you, which then warms the surface of your skin. This method creates an intense heat environment, often reaching temperatures of 80-100°C, making it challenging for some individuals to tolerate for extended periods.

In contrast, an infrared sauna uses infrared heating panels that emit far-infrared light, which penetrates 3-5 cm beneath the skin. This deep-heat absorption allows the body to warm up from the inside out, providing a gentler, more effective sweat response at lower temperatures (45-65°C). The result is a deeper detoxification process, helping to flush out toxins, improve circulation, and promote faster muscle recovery.

• Deep Detoxification – Sweating in an infrared sauna helps remove heavy metals, toxins, and environmental pollutants that accumulate in fat cells over time.

• Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief – Infrared heat increases blood flow, reducing inflammation, muscle soreness, and joint stiffness—ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

• Boosted Metabolism & Weight Loss – Studies show that an infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories, supporting fat loss and metabolic health.

• Improved Circulation & Cardiovascular Health – The deep-heat effect stimulates blood flow, mimicking the benefits of moderate cardiovascular exercise.

• Stress Reduction & Mental Clarity – Infrared therapy promotes the release of endorphins and serotonin, improving mood, focus, and relaxation.

• Enhanced Immune Function – The heat response activates white blood cells, strengthening the immune system and reducing the risk of illness.

• Glowing Skin & Anti-Aging – Sweating in an infrared sauna boosts collagen production, clears pores, and improves skin tone and elasticity.

The Best Way to Use an Infrared Sauna:

Pre-Session: Stay hydrated before entering the infrared sauna to aid detoxification.

Duration: Start with 15-20 minutes, gradually increasing to 30-45 minutes at a comfortable temperature (45-65°C).

Post-Session: Follow up with a cold plunge bath to rapidly reduce muscle soreness, enhance circulation, and boost recovery speed.

Frequency: Use 3-4 times per week for optimal health benefits, or daily for deep detoxification and stress relief.

• For optimal wellness and recovery, infrared sauna therapy can be perfectly paired with cold therapy, such as our cold plunge pools at Remedy Grounds. This contrast therapy—alternating between heat and cold—activates essential genes and hormones that:

• Protect the body from cellular damage

• Reduce inflammation and enhance muscle recovery

• Improve cardiovascular function and circulation

• Boost immune system response

• Support stress management and mental clarity

• Enhance metabolism and fat-burning efficiency

• Promote deep relaxation and better sleep
