Infrared Saunas Offer a Different Sauna Experience Compared to the Traditional Steam Sauna.
Infrared saunas have become increasingly popular due to the many health benefits and the convenience of a dry sauna.
The heating source comes from infrared heaters which utilize light to create a dry radiant heat. The infrared sauna produces the same infrared heat that is produced from the sun but with none of the damaging U V rays.
This deep penetrating heat helps to draw out toxins via your sweat glands. This is also why it often takes a shorter time to produce a sweat in an infrared sauna than a traditional steam sauna.
