There are many benefits to using infrared light and infrared saunas. We at Drop of Mindfulness visit infrared saunas regularly and will go over some of the incredible benefits here.
We also want to give you the chance to win a red light mask, so don't miss our competition where, among other things, we are giving away an LED mask from Nutrilight that provides red light therapy for the face and décolleté (see picture).
Positive benefits with infrared light:
- Reduce inflammation and increase oxygen supply to the cells. Because infrared light penetrates deep into tissues and muscles and increases blood flow.
- The production of collagen, which can help improve skin health and appearance.
- It can help reduce pain and stress while improving circulation and strengthening the immune system
In particular, infrared saunas are known to help relieve pain and inflammation. This is because infrared rays penetrate deeper into the body and increase blood flow, which in turn reduces inflammation and pain. It can be a great advantage for people with, for example, rheumatism or joint pain.
Another benefit of the infrared sauna is that it can help improve circulation and help reduce stress. Research has shown that using an infrared sauna can increase the levels of endorphins in the body, which helps reduce stress and increase feelings of well-being.
But is an infrared sauna better than a regular sauna?
It depends on what you want to achieve. A normal sauna heats the air around you, while an infrared sauna heats the body directly. This means that infrared saunas can provide more focused relief from pain and inflammation, while regular saunas can be better at flushing out toxins through sweating.
So what happens in the body when you use an infrared sauna?
When the body is exposed to infrared rays, the body temperature increases, which in turn increases blood flow. This can help reduce inflammation and pain, as well as improve circulation and reduce stress levels. In addition, the use of infrared saunas can help improve sleep and strengthen the immune system.
In conclusion, visits to an infrared sauna can be a fantastic investment for your health and something we prioritize for our well-being.
