One of the primary reasons for using a sauna and possibly the most beneficial is that of detoxification. An infrared sauna Detox can result in elimination of heavy metals, chemicals and many other toxins which are detrimental to your health.

Infrared saunas typically result in a much better detox than traditional steam saunas. This is primarily due to the way they heat the body and the air, and also your skin temperature.

Infrared Heat = A Better Sauna Detox

Sweat fulfils two primary functions.  It cools the body and it removes waste products out of the body. Using an infrared sauna results in a sticker more fat-laden sweat and less electrolyte loss. In fact, the sweat from an infrared sauna session is comprised of up to 20% toxins compared to only 3% toxins in the sweat produced in a high temperature steam sauna.  This is a main reason the infrared sauna is the better sauna for detox purposes.

Some tips to maximise your Infrared Sauna Experience:-

• Drink Water Before You Enter The Sauna – A proper protocol for using a sauna for detox starts with something that is obvious… Hydrate!  Drink a glass of water before beginning the sauna session.
• Showering & Training Before using a sauna – Although not necessary, some users find showering prior to using their sauna results in a faster and heavier sweat and a more invigorating experience. It can also stimulate your body’s circulation even before entering the sauna. Results also suggests that training or doing some form of exercise prior to the sauna also results in a higher calorie burn as well an overall better experience.

• Dry Brush for Increased Lymphatic Cleansing – One of the important roles your skin plays is that of supporting detoxification.  However, if the skin is saturated with dead skin cells and toxins, its ability to eliminate these wastes is reduced. If you are using a sauna for detox purposes, preparing the skin to be effective in its detox role by dry brushing can often increase the results you experience.  In fact, dry brushing not only helps by removing dead skin cells, but also aids in waste removal through the lymph nodes.
