We hear a lot about the benefits of high heat for strengthening the immune system, but did you know infrared sauna does not have to get extremely hot to be effective?
For those who don’t feel well in the extreme heat of a traditional or steam sauna, or who simply don’t enjoy it, our infrared saunas offer benefits of light therapy effective without high temperatures.
Exposing the body to heat strengthens the immune system through a process called “hormesis,” which is the idea that a little bit of stress on the body is a good thing.
Exercise and fasting are two examples. Sauna also causes the body to respond to the heat. Because infrared produces a special kind of heat, it also delivers the benefits of light, albeit invisible light.
There are three types of infrared light; near, mid, and far, and the body absorbs each one at different levels.
Infrared saunas have become popular for their potential health benefits, including boosting the immune system.
Here are some ways infrared saunas may enhance immunity:
Detoxification**: Infrared saunas induce deep sweating, which helps eliminate toxins and heavy metals from the body. This detoxification process can enhance immune function by reducing the body’s toxic burden.
Improved Circulation
The heat from infrared saunas promotes increased blood circulation. Better blood flow ensures that immune cells can move more efficiently throughout the body, enhancing their ability to detect and fight infections.
Enhanced White Blood Cell Production
Regular use of an infrared sauna can stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are crucial for the immune system. An increase in white blood cells improves the body’s ability to fight off infections and diseases.
Stress Reduction
Chronic stress can weaken the immune system. Infrared saunas promote relaxation and help reduce stress levels by lowering cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. A less stressed body can maintain a stronger immune response.
Improved Sleep
Good sleep is essential for a robust immune system. The relaxing effects of infrared saunas can improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, leading to better overall health and immune function.
Reduction of Inflammation
Infrared heat can help reduce inflammation by penetrating deep into muscles and joints. Reducing chronic inflammation can alleviate stress on the immune system, allowing it to function more effectively.
Enhanced Cellular Repair and Regeneration
Infrared saunas can promote cellular repair and regeneration by increasing mitochondrial activity. Healthier cells contribute to a more efficient and resilient immune system.
Increased Core Body Temperature
Infrared saunas raise the core body temperature, mimicking a fever. Fevers are the body’s natural response to infection, helping to enhance the immune response and inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses.
Improved Lymphatic Function
The heat from infrared saunas can stimulate the lymphatic system, which is crucial for immune function. Enhanced lymphatic drainage helps remove toxins and waste products from the body, supporting a healthy immune system.
While infrared saunas offer these potential benefits, it’s important to use them safely and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. Staying hydrated and listening to your body’s signals during sauna sessions is also crucial to avoid overheating or dehydration.
