Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly.
The benefit of using infrared panels rather than conventional heat, is that it easily penetrates human tissue, and it heats up the body before heating up the air.
This is why an infrared sauna operates at a lower temperature which allows for longer sessions and therefore added benefits!
Infrared offers a long list of benefits. Especially if used regularly (3 to 4 times per week being optimal);
- 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
You can book the infrared sauna for yourself or up to three friends, for an exclusive 45 minutes session at the Body Temple Fitness Centre in Southport, Gold Coast. http://www.body-temple.com.au
