Are There Any Health Benefits Associated With Infrared Sauna Use?

Infrared sauna, as the name suggests, uses electromagnetic radiation in the non-visible, infrared part (i.e., with frequency just below that of red light) of the solar spectrum to directly generate heat in the body of the bather - in contrast to conventional saunas, where heat is transferred from a heated medium, such as the ambient hot air or steam, to the bather.

The infrared radiation used in a sauna is very similar to solar radiation except that the high-frequency/high-energy parts, comprising the visible light band (violet to red) and the harmful ultraviolet radiation, are cut off.

It is for this reason that many health benefits of natural sunlight have been associated with infrared sauna use, with the additional advantage that the damaging effects of the ultraviolet radiation present in natural sunlight are absent.
Here are some health benefits that an infrared sauna bath can induce:

The infrared-generated deep tissue warmth can help ease sore muscles, stiffness, arthritic pain, etc., and bring fast recovery from sprains, strains and other types of muscle or nerve injuries.

On absorption of infrared energy by the tissues, the cellular activity gets instantly invigorated, leading to improved blood circulation, increased oxygenation of the tissues, and enhanced metabolism.

Enhanced metabolism and improved blood circulation help detoxify the body by better elimination of metabolic wastes and accumulated toxins through the skin pores during perspiration.

Improved blood circulation also results in improved cardiovascular health.

These are only some of the health benefits that are associated with infrared sauna use. The best way to see if it will benefit you is to try it out for yourself.
