What are Norwegian + Infrared Saunas?

Infrared saunas use infrared light characteristics to heat the body directly rather than just heating the air that surrounds the body. The experience of an infrared sauna is similar to sunbathing, which gives you a radiant heat that is all your own. As a result, your core temperature rises.

Norwegian saunas heat the air with steam and cause the body to sweat. The temperature is near 200 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s a little less comfortable but an amazing compliment to our Cold Water Immersion (CWI).

How they work:

An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light experienced as radiant heat, which is absorbed by the surface of the skin. Far infrared light, which is emitted in an infrared sauna at a wavelength of around 10 μm (micrometers), is felt directly by the body in the form of radiated heat without the need to heat the air around the body first. This results in a lower ambient air temperature, which allows for longer, more comfortable stays in the sauna. Infrared light also penetrates the body deeply, resulting in the production of a fast and vigorous sweat.

Why get in the infrared sauna or the Norwegian sauna?

Infrared saunas increase the body’s core temperature, thus resulting in a much deeper, more detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin, where many toxins are housed.

The Norwegian sauna heats up the room and helps you to sweat out toxins. Both infrared heat therapy and traditional saunas have been shown to assist with detoxification, increased metabolism, immune system support, heart health, weight loss, pain relief, improved circulation, and skin rejuvenation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Also known as, a traditional sauna, it uses a heater (electric) to heat the air in a wood-paneled room. The air temperature in traditional Finnish saunas ranges from 160 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. We keep ours around 185. The superheated air is what heats your body through the process of conduction.

  • With the temperature that we keep our traditional saunas, we recommend 5-20 minutes, but it’s important to work up to longer temperatures. A healthy body has the ability to adapt, but it takes multiple sessions. It’s important if you feel light-headed, dizzy, or short of breath to exit the sauna immediately.

  • Yes.

  • The infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly rather than just heating the air that surrounds the body. Our Infrared saunas are kept at 135 degrees which makes them more tolerable for longer periods of time.

  • We recommend 30-60 minutes in the infrared sauna. 30 minutes as a courtesy when we’re busy so that other people have the opportunity to sweat. It’s important if you feel light-headed, dizzy, or short of breath to exit the sauna immediately.

  • Saunas are popular because they cause reactions like those caused by moderate exercise, such as vigorous sweating and an increased heart rate. An infrared sauna gives these results at lower temperatures than a traditional sauna. This makes an infrared sauna a choice for people who can't stand the heat of a sauna or don’t like the “stuffiness” or humidity of a traditional sauna.

  • Saunas are safe for healthy and active individuals when used responsibly. If you have any hesitation about the safety of using a sauna due to health conditions you should consult your doctor first. Saunas are not recommended for Pregnant persons. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult and children under the age of 14 are not allowed in traditional saunas. Elderly individuals taking prescription medications should consult a doctor or those with cardiovascular disease, hypertension/ hypotension, or chronic diseases under the care of a physician should discuss this treatment prior to scheduling. Individuals with metal pins, rods, or artificial joints should check with their physician prior to scheduling. Use of alcohol is prohibited prior to using either type of sauna. Acute joint injury, fever, or prone to bleeding should not use saunas.

  • The benefits of sauna use range from mental health to cardiovascular and even muscle mass retention. This scientific article from Dr. Rhonda Patrick and FoundMyFitness is the best summary of the benefits: click here.
