What’s better than a relaxing, traditional sauna session on the weekend? We’ll tell you. An infrared sauna. This trend is piquing the interest of wellness experts and enthusiasts in a big way and here’s why: unlike traditional saunas where the temperatures can sometimes be uncomfortably high, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you and warm your body directly, using infrared lamps that feature electromagnetic radiation.

This leads to the ultimate muscle relaxation and detoxification. And with improved circulation and heat absorption, your skin is left feeling naturally supple and healthy. That’s not it. Infrared saunas facilitate efficient strength training and may help reduce blood pressure. Beat the heat by grabbing a book to read or binge-watching your favorite show, as you let the goodness of infrared saunas take over.
