Far Infrared Sauna(FIR)
Far infrared (FIR) sauna benefits include improved blood vessel function, pain relief, and detoxification through sweating. Regular use can also help lower blood pressure, promote weight loss by boosting metabolism, and improve sleep and relaxation.
Cardiovascular health
Improved blood vessel function: FIR can improve blood vessel function, leading to better blood flow.
Lowered blood pressure: Some evidence suggests infrared saunas can help normalize blood pressure, though they should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment.
Enhanced heart health: Studies show it can improve cardiac function in patients with congestive heart failure.
Pain relief and muscle recovery
Reduced pain and stiffness: The deep heat can help relieve muscle soreness and joint stiffness, offering relief for conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Faster muscle recovery: Athletes may experience faster post-exercise recovery due to increased circulation delivering oxygen-rich blood to muscles.
Reduced muscle spasms: Heating tissues can help relax muscles and increase flexibility.
Detoxification and skin
Sweating is a natural way the body eliminates toxins, and FIR saunas promote a deep sweat that can help expel heavy metals and other impurities.
Some users report improved skin health, potentially due to increased circulation and sweating.
Other benefits
Sessions can mimic moderate cardiovascular exercise, increasing heart rate and metabolism.
FIR saunas can be a relaxing experience, reducing stress and improving sleep quality.
Some studies have found that FIR sauna sessions can help improve sleep quality.
