The process allows the sauna to operate at a lower temperature. A traditional sauna usually heats between 150\u00b0-195\u00b0F, while the infrared sauna is generally set between 110\u00b0-135\u00b0 &#8211; more comfortable for the user.<\/h5>\n<h5>Full-Spectrum Infrared Heaters in the sauna emit near, mid and far infrared wavelengths, providing a wide range of therapeutic benefits:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NEAR infrared &#8211; has a lower micron level and penetrates the epidermis layer of the skin, leading to improved cell health, renewal of skin, tissue growth and inflammation reduction.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>MID infrared &#8211; penetrates the body tissue leading to increased blood flow and circulation, reducing muscle and joint pain.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>FAR infrared &#8211; penetrates the deepest into the tissue to break down toxins. Activates the sweat glands to help the body to eliminate toxins.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the infrared waves penetrate your body, you will feel a pleasant internal warming sensation. Over time, you will begin to perspire. The heat causes a release of endorphins from your brain, leaving you relaxed. The heat also causes your blood vessels to expand, improving circulation and enhancing your body&#8217;s immune and cellular systems.<\/p>\n<p>Health benefits from infrared therapy may include <strong>detoxification<\/strong>, <strong>weight loss<\/strong>, <strong>improved circulation<\/strong>, <strong>pain relief<\/strong>, and <strong>improved sleep<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conditions shown to benefit from infrared therapy:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Circulatory and bleeding disorders<\/li>\n<li>Cardiovascular disease<\/li>\n<li>Stroke and injuries to the central nervous system<\/li>\n<li>Traumatic brain injuries<\/li>\n<li>Skin condition (acne, eczema, psoriasis)<\/li>\n<li>Chronic kidney diseases<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Osteo-and rheumatoid arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Strains, sprains and muscle pain<\/li>\n<li>Migraine, muscular and tension headaches<\/li>\n<li>Parkinson&#8217;s Disease<\/li>\n<li>Carpal tunnel syndrome<\/li>\n<li>Plantar fasciitis<\/li>\n<li>Many others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docmarciaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/sauna-towels.jpeg\" alt=\"sauna towels\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"576\" width=\"432\" title=\"sauna towels\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<p><strong>FAQ&#8217;s (Frequently Asked Questions)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How long should my sauna session last?<\/strong> Start low and slow, dialing down the temperature to see how you feel, with a shorter session (20 minutes). Build up to 30-45 minute sessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How often should I use the sauna?<\/strong> Sauna therapy is most beneficial with regular use. After a few sessions, your body begins to acclimate itself to the sauna and you&#8217;ll begin to feel the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any special preparations?<\/strong> Make sure you are well hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during and after your session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do I wear?<\/strong> The sauna room is completely private so what you wear is up to you. We provide plenty of clean towels for your session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I listen to music or a podcast while in the sauna?<\/strong> Yes! We have bluetooth hookup, so leave your phone outside the sauna while you enjoy your tunes during your session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who should not use the sauna?<\/strong> Do not use the sauna if you are pregnant or trying to conceive. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are on any prescription medications, it is best to consult with your physician before using the sauna.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna The Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna uses varying levels of infrared waves to penetrate body tissue and dissolve harmful substances accumulated in the body &#8211; all in a spacious, relaxing setting.
