Infrared saunas work on a cellular level and penetrate human tissue and raise the bodies core temperature, helping the body to detoxify. Traditional saunas heat the air and the internal cabin which causes your body to sweat as a natural mechanism to cool down. For this reason, infrared saunas are very gentle and allows them to be more effective at a more comfortable operating temperature. By raising the body’s core temperature infrared saunas produce a sweat composed of 20% toxins compared to only 3% toxins with a traditional sauna.
