Sauna Therapy For Immune and Detox Support


Infrared sauna therapy can make a huge difference in our quality of life. We all want to be healthy, vibrant, and energetic. This, however, can become very difficult to achieve if your body is full of toxins. The truth is that we are exposed to toxins throughout our life from pollution, toxic tap water, plastics, medication, conventional cleaning and body products, non-organic food, stress, and unhealthy lifestyle choices.


These toxins get deep inside your fat cells and deep in your tissues, and over time they can lead to pain and disease. This is why detoxification is so important. Detoxification allows your body to clean out what’s harmful and creates an opportunity for repair and renewal. Infrared sauna therapy may be one of the best ways to help your body open up its detoxification pathways.

Your skin is your largest organs and one of your most important detoxifying organs. Its way of detoxification is through sweating. While being outside on the summer heat is a great way to sweat, it is not the most effective. The sun is not available year-around and you have to be careful with the ultraviolet light and skin damage.

Infrared sauna, on the other hand, is a sauna that releases infrared light. Infrared light is safe and goes deeper into your body allowing to release fat-soluble toxins, lower toxic burdens, and even enhance internal detox pathways as well.

This is important, because toxic metals replace vital minerals in enzyme binding sites. And the accumulation of metals in this binding sites contribute to hundreds of physical and emotional health conditions.

Heat and sauna therapy can be found across cultures throughout history. Heat has been considered healing for a long time. The Romans were famous for their baths, Native Americans still use sweat lodges, and the Japanese use hot soaking tubs. Today we can take advantage of infrared sauna therapy inside our own homes, a technology that offers us science-backed health benefits.



Sauna Benefits

Improves Immune Response

One of the main benefits of infrared sauna therapy is improved immune response and immune system support. Studies show that regular saunas can strengthen your immune system by increasing white blood cell production, triggering the immune system, releasing impurities, improving blood circulation, regenerating cells, and promoting relaxation.

Facilitates Detoxification

Your skin is your largest detoxifying organ and it does this cleansing job through perspiration or sweating to eliminate toxic chemicals. Studies have found that using an infrared sauna regularly can help you detoxify your body from environmental toxins and heavy metals, including mercury and arsenic.

Reduces Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of most modern-day chronic health problems. Infrared sauna therapy can reduce chronic inflammation and the risk of consequent pain and disease by hyperoxygenation of the blood cells, optimising circulation, improving your body’s immune response, reducing chronic stress response, and enhancing a state of relaxation. Infrared sauna therapy sends infrared light to cellular structures throughout your body increasing ATP energy production and improving circulation which results in lower inflammation and reduced pain.

Improves Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and diabetes are serious health issues that millions of people are facing worldwide. Insulin sensitivity, on the other hand, enhances fat burning and reduces inflammation. The good news is that infrared sauna therapy may improve insulin sensitivity and enhance your health as a result.

Stimulates Autophagy

Autophagy is a process of cellular recycling where the cell itself metabolses its various components in order to recycle them and build new and healthier cell structures. Cellular stress is the major driver of the process of autophagy. This means that it breaks down older or damaged cells and cellular organelles to leave room for the creation of new and healthier ones for better energy efficiency. Research has found that this process has anti-aging benefits by activating internal antioxidant, repair and degradation processes.

Weight Loss

Frequent sauna usage will facilitate the recalibration of your body systems often resulting in some fabulous weight loss.
