Infrared sauna therapy, may be dry or with steam, uses infrared light to heat the body directly promoting relaxation and various health benefits by increasing blood flow and inducing sweat at lower temperatures than other saunas. Benefits include improved cardiovascular health, pain relief, and muscle recovery.
How to prepare for your session
- Clothing: You can wear a bathing suit or go in nude. Loose, breathable clothing is also an option. Avoid wearing body oils or lotions.
- Hydration: Drink water before, during, and after your session, as you will be sweating a lot.
- Timing: Aim for 3-4 days per week, and keep initial sessions short (10 to 15 minutes).
- Temperature: Temperature will be determined during the assessment and/or diagnosis by the Ayurvedic physician.
After your session
- Cool down: Allow your body to cool down before showering or taking a bath.
- Shower: A shower can wash off toxins that have been sweated out before they are reabsorbed through the skin.
- Hydrate: Drink more water to rehydrate your body.
