What it is
Infrared sauna uses light to heat the body directly, rather than heating the air around you. The cabin runs cooler than a traditional sauna while you still warm through, which most guests find gentler on the skin and easier to sit in for the full session.
How it works
Infrared wavelengths warm muscle and tissue beneath the skin. The body responds with vasodilation, increased circulation, and a sweat response that releases stored heat, much as it would after sustained light activity. What that does over time has been reviewed twice: the Mayo Clinic Proceedings review links regular sauna bathing to circulatory, cardiovascular and immune function and lists improved endothelium-dependent dilatation, reduced arterial stiffness, modulation of the autonomic nervous system and lower blood pressure among the postulated mechanisms (see Sources below), and the 2018 systematic review of regular dry sauna bathing counted 40 studies and 3,855 participants, only 13 of them randomised and most small, and concluded that it has potential health benefits with more high-quality data needed (see Sources below). The Mayo Clinic Proceedings review addresses Finnish sauna bathing and the systematic review addresses regular dry sauna bathing; neither summary establishes that its findings apply to infrared sauna, and our infrared sauna benefits article walks through what the small infrared studies show and where they stop.
What a session feels like
You enter a private cabin with full-spectrum panels along the walls. The light is warm, not harsh. Within minutes you'll feel surface warmth; over 30 to 45 minutes, the heat builds in a way that feels less aggressive than a steam sauna.
Most guests sweat moderately. You leave warm, loose, and a little quieter than you came in.
