INFRARED THERAPY
How Do Infrared Saunas Work?All saunas have the same goal: to raise your core body temperature enough to jump-start its natural healing processes.Traditional saunas use steam, fire, or electric heaters to make the air in the sauna hot, which eventually heats up your body from the outside in. Infrared saunas tap into the science of light to help you sweat faster and more comfortably.
Near infrared saunas
Unlike the traditional methods, near infrared (NIR) light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat—from the inside out. By using near infrared’s shorter wavelengths in a way that mimics natural sunlight, the light penetrates deeply to raise your core temperature faster.Near infrared saunas give you:
- Ultrafast heat therapy
- Comfortable air temperatures
- Built-in light therapy
- Faster sauna sessions
Far infrared saunasThere are many far infrared (FIR) saunas on the market, but these longer wavelengths are absorbed by water, which means they won’t get past the water in the surface layers of your skin. If your sauna relies primarily on FIR, it may take longer to raise your core body temperature.Another drawback of far infrared saunas is the lack of light therapy. Our bodies don’t have receptors for far infrared light. To remedy this, some brands will add LED light therapy panels, but the combination of these approaches still doesn’t match the effectiveness of how infrared light works in nature.The perfect combinationBy bringing these two therapeutic approaches into our meticulously engineered saunas, SaunaSpace helps people enjoy relief, relaxation, and wellness at its best. Keep reading to see how it works.
SaunaSpace founder
In 2008, I discovered how life-changing a sauna could be.Insomnia, adrenal fatigue, and acne were getting in the way of my everyday life. When an alternative medicine doctor recommended near infrared sauna therapy, I was grateful for a solution that didn’t involve prescription drugs, but there weren’t many options for near infrared saunas.Within days I started to notice changes, and continued treatment brought all of my symptoms to a halt. I became obsessed with perfecting the technology so I could make it accessible to everyone.Thirteen years later, we have a team of great engineers and craftspeople who share my mission: to give everyone a natural way to relax, get relief, and live their healthiest lives. I’m proud of how many people we’ve helped in that time, and we’re determined to keep improving so we can change lives for many years to come.
