Infrared Sauna Therapy
What is Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Infrared saunas, unlike regular saunas, do not heat the air around you. Instead, they warm your body directly using infrared bulbs (which emit electromagnetic radiation). Infrared panels, rather than conventional heat, are used in these saunas to easily penetrate human tissue, warming your body before heating the air. Infrared saunas function at a lower temperature (generally between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit) than regular saunas, which normally operate between 150 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Only around 20% of the heat in an infrared sauna is used to heat the air, while the remaining 80% is used to heat your body directly.

Understanding the Benefits of
Infrared Sauna Therapy
What is the definition of infrared heat? We’ve all had the following experiences: It’s a partly overcast day, and you’re out in the fresh air. The clouds suddenly shift out of the path of the sun, and you feel a rush of warmth. The far-infrared region of sunshine is warming your body, giving you this warm feeling.
The sun’s invisible spectrum of light includes the far infrared band. This range of light is capable of penetrating our skin and instantly warming our bodies. Pure Medical sauna’s far-infrared heat is completely safe because our heaters do not emit any of the sun’s harmful rays, only natural healing heat. In fact, this heat is so safe that it is used to keep newborn babies warm in maternity units.
The healthiest rays are infrared rays, which penetrate deeply into your skin and eliminate harmful substances that have accumulated in your body. Your cells and metabolism are revitalised by infrared rays.

This environment is more tolerable, which allows you to stay in the sauna longer while increasing your core body temperature by two to three degrees.

What are the Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy?
The benefits of using an infrared sauna are said to be similar to those of a traditional sauna. These are some of them:
- Better sleep
- Relaxation
- Detoxification
- Weight loss
- Relief from sore muscles
- Relief from joint pain such as arthritis
- Clear and tighter skin
- Improved circulation
- Help for people with chronic fatigue syndrome
Saunas have been used for a variety of health concerns for ages. While there are several studies and research on traditional saunas, there aren’t nearly as many studies on infrared saunas:
- People with chronic fatigue syndrome benefited from using an infrared sauna as part of their overall treatment, according to a small 10-person trial 1.
- Another 10-person study discovered that infrared saunas reduced muscular pain and improved strength-training recovery 2.
- Several studies have found that infrared light treatment saunas can help lower blood pressure, according to one study.
Other than the usual cautions regarding any sauna session, there have been no reports of harmful consequences so far. These include the risks of overheating, dehydration, and medication interference, as well as the risks to pregnant women, those with heart disease, and those under the influence of drugs or alcohol, among others.
The great news is that even if your sweat session doesn’t do everything it promises, it still feels fantastic. It also helps you relax, loosen up stiff or tight muscles, reduce joint pain, and give you some much-needed time to yourself, all of which contribute to your general health and well-being.
The Pure Medical Program gives you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to invest in your health as you become older, allowing you to maximise your cognition, vitality, and quality of life.
In our infrared sauna therapy chambers, the quality of the infrared heat is the most important factor in determining the benefits you will receive from that sauna. By combining carbon fibre and ceramic compound in one heater, Pure Medical has the best of both worlds to give you the highest quality infrared heat imaginable.
The use of far-infrared radiation has a wide range of applications, which NASA has recently investigated. The far-infrared rays, which have a wavelength of 8-14 microns, are particularly beneficial to the human body. These waves have the ability to penetrate 1.5 to 2 inches or more into the body, providing deep heat and boosting the core body temperature from within. Because the materials for the Ondol (traditional warm floor of Korea) include stone and soil, both of which emit far infrared rays when heated, scholars feel that the Ondol is beneficial to one’s health.

FULL-SPECTRUM INFRARED
Although strenuous exercise such as jogging, cycling, or strength training is frequently linked with a good sweat session, you may also warm up while resting and rejuvenating in an infrared sauna.
Infrared saunas are a popular choice for people looking for a cooler way to heat their bodies. They are known for alleviating tight muscles, enhancing sleep, and promoting general relaxation.
While infrared saunas are generally regarded as safe, there are some hazards linked with their use.
Before you get dressed and head in for a brief session, here’s what you should know.
If you enjoy dry heat, you’ve probably visited a conventional sauna. These saunas heat the air around you and are usually set between 82.2°C and 93.3°C (180°F and 200°F).
The infrared sauna, on the other hand, is gaining popularity because it employs electromagnetic radiation from infrared lamps to warm your body directly rather than heating the air.
Saunas that use infrared technology raise your core body temperature to roughly 66°C (150°F).
This form of heat penetrates deeper into the body, affecting and healing deep tissue as well as detoxing through sweating.
Is Infrared Sauna Safe?
Why is Infrared Heat better
than traditional saunas?
Why is Infrared Heat better than traditional saunas?
To warm the body, traditional saunas increase the temperature of the air within the chamber to a very high level. When you sit in a typical sauna, you are in a hot room with temperatures ranging from 80°C to 105°C. Some people have trouble breathing in this highly hot environment. Saunas with far infrared technology work in a different way. Far infrared saunas heat the body directly rather than the air within the chamber. Only around 20% of the heat in our Far Infrared Sauna is used to heat the air, while the remaining 80% is used to heat your body directly. As a result, deeper tissue penetration occurs.
Radiant heat has the ability to permeate far into the skin, causing gradual warming inside the body. Your cardiovascular system, immune system, and lymphatic system are all stimulated by the warming effect on your body. Sweating is your body’s reaction to this. In the far infrared sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna.
Infrared saunas leave you feeling invigorated, not depleted like conventional saunas.
What are the possible
side effects of
Infrared Sauna Therapy?
What are the possible side effects of Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Our infrared saunas are very safe and have few negative effects. They normally aren’t serious and don’t last long. Speak to our nurses or doctors if you think you’re experiencing any other adverse effects.
Having infrared sauna therapy will cause you to sweat a lot, so you may feel lightheaded when you stand up. If this happens, make sure you get up slowly and sit down once you leave the sauna. Drink water immediately after finishing your session and wait for your body to cool down before doing anything else. In extreme cases, some people may experience overheating (heat stroke and heat exhaustion) or dehydration.
If you have any health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, or are under medical care, get cleared by our doctor before your first session. Even though infrared saunas are extremely safe, we don’t want to take any chances when it comes to your health and safety.
Like any other medical treatment, there are advantages and disadvantages. Take heed of these potential side effects and hazards before you turn up the heat.
Sauna use has been linked to the following unfavourable indications and symptoms, according to a 2018 systematic review:
- Mild to moderate heat discomfort
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Light-headedness
- Transient leg pain
- Airway irritation
