Welcome to your new wellness space.
From stress relief and relaxation to muscle and join pain relief, weight loss, detoxification, and so much more, infrared saunas can help you improve your health and wellbeing.
Why You Should Start Using An Infrared Sauna To Change Your Life
Melt your stress
Infrared Saunas stimulate your “rest and digest” response (the opposite of the fight or flight response), which tells your body to conserve energy, rest and recover.
Stoke your metabolism
As your core temperature rises in an infrared sauna, you sweat and your heart rate increases to help you cool down. This also speeds up your metabolism (in the same way exercise does) and helps you burn more calories.
Protect your heart
Infrared saunas can help decrease cardiovascular disease risk factors by decreasing blood pressure, strengthening your cardiovascular system, and reducing artery stiffness.
Reduce muscle pain
By increasing your heart rate, infrared saunas help speed up the breakdown of metabolic waste from your muscles, like lactic acid, and increase blood flow to aid injury recovery, so you feel better faster.
Boost your immune response
Infrared saunas raise your core body temperature, which mimics a fever – your body’s natural defence mechanism for fighting illness. Stimulating this response strengthens and accelerates your immune response.
Rejuvenate your skin
The increased sweating from infrared saunas helps your skin remove impurities, repair damage (even skin conditions like acne and scarring) and replace dead skin cells for healthier, better-looking skin.

Not only will it elevate every day to a relaxing spa day, but sauna bathing is also associated with a plethora of medical benefits. According to a 2018 study published by Mayo Clinic, sauna bathing produces the same physiological responses as light to moderate exercise, and can reduce hypertension risk, stress, and other chronic illnesses.
Red Light Therapy vs Infrared Sauna
Red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation therapy that uses light in the red spectrum. More precisely, the wavelength falls between 600-650 nanometers (nm). This red light penetrates up to 5mm below the surface of the skin. It boosts collagen production which makes it an excellent healing option for skin conditions, boosting metabolism.
Near-infrared light has wavelengths ranging from 750-1100nm. It can penetrate as deep as 10cm. Due to its great reach, this spectrum boosts mitochondrial function and promotes healthy blood flow. Red light therapy devices should combine both red and near-infrared light for best results, as their effect is synergistic.
Infrared light ranges from 700 nm to 1 mm. This range is divided into near-infrared, mid-infrared and far-infrared wavelengths. The difference between near vs far infared is in the wavelength and heat. Infrared saunas usually use far infrared because this wavelength also emits heat. So, infrared saunas heal the body in a completely different way using heat – thermal energy – and not light – photonic energy.
The take away is that Red Light Therapy is more for the skin and is cold in nature and the Infrared Light produces heat and goes further into the body to produce a much deeper healing effect.
What is the difference between infrared vs regular sauna? (We get asked this a lot)
Infrared sauna usually refers to far infrared saunas. Regular saunas creates a hot environment in the room, usually supplemented by hot stones and steam. A traditional Finnish sauna is a wooden cubicle with high temperature and humidity. This type of sauna also has its own set of benefits.
Infrared saunas can be wooden or plastic and it consists of (far) infrared heaters that emit heat. There is no humidity unless it is added on purpose. The temperature is lower than in the regular sauna and it is achieved by the radiation from the heaters.
