What is an Infrared Sauna?

Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use gentle, therapeutic light waves to warm the body directly. This allows you to enjoy deep heat at a comfortable temperature, making the experience relaxing and more accessible for longer sessions.

Sunlighten saunas are among the most advanced on the market, using patented Solocarbon® infrared technology that delivers consistent, clinically-backed wavelengths for maximum benefit. Their design focuses on safety, effectiveness, and a comfortable, spa-like environment.

Potential Benefits of Infrared Sauna Sessions

✨ Detox & Wellness Support – Promotes natural detoxification through sweating, helping the body release impurities.
✨ Relaxation & Stress Relief – Encourages a deep sense of calm while reducing stress and tension.
✨ Muscle & Joint Relief – Supports recovery, eases soreness, and promotes flexibility.
✨ Improved Circulation – Enhances blood flow, oxygen delivery, and cardiovascular wellness.
✨ Skin Health – Sweating helps clear pores and rejuvenate skin for a fresh, healthy glow.
✨ Sleep & Energy – Many find sessions improve sleep quality and leave them feeling recharged.

The Evidence Behind Why

Sauna Therapy and Physical Recovery: A Network Meta-Analysis

  • Key Findings: Sauna therapy demonstrated significant benefits in reducing muscle soreness and improving perceived recovery within 48 hours post-exercise. Although photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) ranked slightly higher for effectiveness, sauna use was among the top modalities. The analysis suggests thermal therapy may aid systemic anti-inflammatory responses and improve muscle performance. -- Access Full Study â€‹
