Infrared sauna therapy

with east west wellness center

What is infrared? While traditional saunas work by heating up the air around you, the light from an infrared sauna penetrates your skin directly and raises your core body temperature from within, resulting in both cosmetic and health benefits.

Whether you want to get yourself back into balance or just maintain your health, the benefits of an infrared sauna may be just what you need to achieve your wellness goals. It’s basically a workout without working out!

BENEFITS

Detoxification

Sweating is your body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Far infrared sauna use causes a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where those heavy toxins reside.

Lower Blood Pressure

Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat which makeing your heart pump faster. This causes an increase in blood flow lowering blood pressure and increasing circulation. Scientific evidence shows using an infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure.

Weight Loss

Studies have shown that an infrared sauna therapy session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.

Relaxation

Infrared Sauna use can be a therapetutic, healing, gentle heat aids in relaxation and improved sleeping.

Pain Relief

Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, and speeds up recovery time.

Skin Rejuvenation

Near infrared saunas provide the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.

Cell Health

Near infrared sauna therapy stimulates your circulatory system and fully oxygenate your body’s cells more. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.

Improved Circulation

Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
Helping You Heal the Natural Way

Infared vs. Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas you may be used to use hot rocks and steam while infrared saunas emit heat using Solocarbon heater panels located inside the sauna. We like to compare it to lying in the sun on a warm summer day and feeling the heat radiate to the core of your body. 

Infrared Saunas heat the body directly unlike traditional saunas which heat the air. Our saunas penetrate the human tissue making them much more effective at detoxifying the body than the traditional sauna. By raising the body’s core temperature, infrared saunas can produce a sweat composed of 20% toxins vs only 3% toxins with a traditional sauna. Heating the body’s core directly also aids in reducing blood pressure, and weight loss.  You could burn up to 600 calories in one session without lifting a finger!

How Can I prepare for my visit?

Here are some frequently asked questions and guidelines to prepare for your sauna use. We hope to provide you with the most enjoyable experience, if you have any questions please give us a call at 240-386-8608 our staff members are devoted to helping you.

Drink plenty of water!
Be prepared to sweat a lot, treat a sauna visit just like a visit to the gym. You can burn up to 600 calories in one session. To prevent dizziness or dehydration we reccomend bringing at least one liter of water, some which you should drink before you even go in.
Avoid bringing your phone.
Tuck your phone away for the time being. The light and heat emitted from our saunas can mess with your phone hardware. Take this time for yourself and use it to mediate and relax.
Time your sessions right!
We don’t reccomend staying in the infrared sauna for more than 40 minutes. Our general rule of thumb is as soon as you break your first sweat, stay in for 20 minutes longer.
Sit up if you can!
To experience the full benefits, we recommend sitting up. This way, the heaters are targetted right at your back, front and core allowing you to absorb as much infrared as possible.
Dress appropriately
We provide you with a towel to sit on and a towel to wrap your body with for the sauna. Some patients bring a swim suit. The more exposed you are to infrared the better. We reccomend bringing loose comfortable clothing you can throw on after your session.
