Infrared & Dry Sauna – The Heat That Heals

If cold plunging is about shock and resilience, sauna therapy is about deep restoration. Sitting in a sauna might seem passive, but beneath the surface, powerful changes are happening in your body.

One of the biggest benefits? Reduced inflammation. Heat exposure increases circulation, helping flush out toxins and bringing oxygen-rich blood to tired muscles and joints. The heat also stimulates the production of heat shock proteins, which repair damaged cells and improve overall cellular function.

Cardiovascular health gets a major boost, too. Sitting in a sauna increases heart rate and improves blood flow, mimicking the effects of moderate exercise. Studies show that regular sauna use can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Saunas also activate the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s “rest and digest” mode. This is why you feel deeply relaxed after a session. It’s the perfect way to unwind, reset, and prepare for better sleep.

And for those looking to optimize hormones, sauna therapy has been linked to increased growth hormone and testosterone levels in men. This supports muscle recovery, fat metabolism, and overall vitality.

So what’s the difference between an infrared sauna and a dry sauna? Infrared saunas use light to penetrate deeper into tissues, promoting detoxification at a cellular level. Dry saunas, on the other hand, rely on high ambient temperatures to create that intense, sweat-inducing heat. Both are great—just depends on your preference.

Whichever you choose, sauna therapy is more than just sweating—it’s a full-body reset, improving recovery, relaxation, and long-term health.
