Far Infrared Saunas and Steam Saunas – What’s the Difference?

Far Infrared Sauna

Are you in need of a trip to a warmer climate? Need to get away from it all and revitalize yourself? Don’t immediately reach for the travel catalogue – think about an infrared sauna instead.

You don’t need to travel very far if you have a sauna in your home. For centuries, bathhouses, hamams (Turkish baths) and saunas have been popular to improve health and relax with friends throughout Europe. Many physiotherapists, chiropractors and naturopaths recommend infrared and steam saunas for their therapeutic benefits.

The far infrared sauna works with a radiant heat. This type of heat penetrates the skin, heating the body core rather than the air. The effect is a dry, softer heat with lower temperatures than a steam sauna. This makes the sauna more suitable for those with breathing problems, for people who prefer a cooler sauna experience!

Far infrared saunas carry numerous benefits for different parts of the body, starting with the cardiovascular system by increasing circulation. If you’d like to boost your exercise regime, athletes use far infrared saunas for cardiovascular conditioning. Regular use is said to improve flexibility and agility, which will in turn be advantageous at the gym. The penetrating heat is excellent for any sports related sprains, spasms, or muscle fatigue from a good workout.

Many of us would like to lose those few extra pounds that have crept up. Both infrared and steam saunas promote weight loss and detoxify the body. They release heavy metal toxins and pollutants, and improve lymphatic and immune functions. A smooth-running body improves its effectiveness at weight loss through diet and exercise.

Chronic pain can distract us from our work and drastically diminish our joy in life. It can also diminish our playtime. Infrared light helps to reduce inflammation and heal soft tissue. This makes it suitable for those suffering from joint stiffness, arthritis, bursitis, and chronic pain. Daily use can significantly reduce pain and promote healing, allowing us to be more productive at our jobs and giving us more pleasure in our after-hours activities.

Would you like your skin to exude a youthful glow? By increasing circulation and detoxifying, saunas rejuvenate and moisturize the skin and hair. Use of the far infrared sauna has reduced skin conditions such as psoriasis and as an anti-aging tool, both types of saunas improve skin tone, elasticity, and texture and revitalize the skin without the use of chemicals or surgery. Applying hair conditioner on while steaming deepens its effect and gives hair a healthy bounce.

Sleep deprivation affects mood, coordination and concentration. If you’ve been tossing and turning at night instead of dropping off into a restful sleep, using a steam sauna before bed can act as a natural sleep aid. Steam showers also come with luxurious features such as a good sound system, which can be synced with your favorite relaxation tracks.

Steam saunas feature higher temperatures and use a wet heat. For cold and allergy season, you can find relief using a steam shower. Beauty Saunas’ Far infrared Sauna units have port cups for essential oils, allowing you to customize your own aromatherapy treatments for health or relaxation purposes.

For health, anti-aging and relaxation, home saunas offer top benefits with the convenience of an at-home spa therapy experience. The pleasure and luxury they offer will inspire regular use with years of enjoyment.
