Many of us have heard of a sauna, either from friends, T.
V.
, or at a self pamper trip to a day spa.
What many don't know is there is a new growing trend with the infrared sauna.
But what is making the infrared sauna so popular? Typical saunas can easily reach temperatures over 77 C (170 F), which can cause dizziness and over heating.
Infrared saunas heat the body though infrared radiant heat.
Unlike traditional sauna's, you can sit and enjoy the experience for a longer period of time, without worrying about overheating and dehydration.
Many people are choosing infrared saunas for their other benefits as well.
Heart health: Many people who are known to have circulatory problems will often reap the benefits of the infrared saunas.
The radiant heat of the sauna will safely raise your heart rate, keeping your heart at a steady high pace.
Great skin: Not only are toxins being sweat out of your system, but important oils and nutrients are being drawn to the surface of your skin, giving your skin a warm, healthy glow.
Weight loss: Like most saunas you will lose water weight through sweating, though there is an additional benefit that a traditional sauna cannot offer.
When your body is exposed to radiant heat, it increases your heart rate, in turn increasing your metabolic rate.
Pain relief: People who suffer from arthritis, sprains, and pulled muscles will gain immediate relief from the warm environment that a sauna offers.
If you are looking for a sauna experience like you have never had before, look in your local papers, and see if a spa near you offers these amazing services.
You'll never look at sauna's the same again.
