Health Benefits of Infrared Saunas
Improved Circulation
Improved Circulation
As a health sauna, infrared sauna's heats your muscles with infrared rays and produces a increase in blood flow similar to regular exercise. In fact, blood flow during infrared sauna use has been reported to rise from a normal rate of 5 - 7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.
The elevation in body temperature from infrared sauna use also produces an increase in blood flow that mirrors the benefits of a passive cardiovascular workout. Regular infrared sauna use - especially in the mid-infrared range - has been shown to significantly stimulate blood flow, even after your health sauna session is completed. Another benefit of improved circulation from infrared sauna use is quick muscle recover - after your regular workouts. The increased peripheral circulation from infrared heat reduces inflammation, decreases pain and speed healing, all important steps in helping the body recover from strenuous activity.
