Sauna bathing has long been a key part of recovery and well-being. With Flowsauna, we bring the sauna tradition into the future with infrared sauna heat, a technology that provides deeper and more efficient heating than a traditional sauna.
How Does Infrared Sauna Heat Work?
Unlike a traditional sauna, which heats the air in a room using wood, electricity, or steam, an infrared sauna emits infrared light waves that warm the body from within. This technology uses Far Infrared Heat (FIR), a wavelength within the infrared spectrum that penetrates deep into the body's tissues, directly affecting muscles, joints, and the circulatory system.
FIR differs from other types of infrared light, such as Near Infrared (NIR), by penetrating the skin more deeply and providing a more comprehensive heating effect. While NIR is used for surface treatments, such as skin health and wound healing, FIR is optimized for recovery, detoxification, and muscle relaxation.
A common misconception is that infrared saunas function like microwaves or UV radiation—but this is completely incorrect. FIR produces a gentle and natural heat similar to the sun’s warming rays on a spring day, without harmful radiation or negative effects on the skin.
What Happens in the Body During an Infrared Sauna Session?
When the body absorbs Far Infrared Heat, a series of positive physiological changes occur. First, blood circulation increases as the blood vessels dilate, improving muscle oxygenation. This allows more nutrients to reach the cells while waste products and toxins are efficiently eliminated through sweating.
The increased heat also affects the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body relax and reducing stress levels. At the same time, endorphins—the body's natural "feel-good" hormones—are released, creating a sense of calm and well-being.
Many users report feeling relaxed and energized after an infrared sauna session, a unique combination resulting from the deep-penetrating effects of FIR.
The Benefits of Infrared Sauna – Why Choose FIR Over a Traditional Sauna?
Traditional sauna bathing has long been appreciated for its health benefits. Still, infrared sauna heat takes these effects to a new level by providing deeper and more efficient heating at lower temperatures. A classic sauna typically operates at temperatures between 80–100°C, whereas an infrared sauna delivers the same (or even better) health benefits at just 40–75°C.
Deeper Muscle Relaxation and Recovery
Because infrared sauna heat penetrates deep into the body's muscles and joints, it reduces stiffness and accelerates recovery after physical activity. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often use infrared saunas as part of their recovery routine to minimize muscle soreness and improve flexibility.
- FIR heat increases blood flow to the muscles, accelerating the removal of lactic acid and other metabolic byproducts that cause muscle soreness.
- The heat also stimulates the production of heat shock proteins (HSP), which help repair damaged cells and enhance muscle recovery.
More Effective Detox – Sweat Out Toxins at the Cellular Level
The body is exposed daily to environmental toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful substances that accumulate in fat cells and deep tissues. Infrared sauna heat helps the body sweat out these substances more effectively than a traditional sauna.
Since FIR heat penetrates deeper into the body, it stimulates the sweat glands more efficiently, allowing the body to release more waste products and toxins than conventional sauna sessions. Additionally, using a sauna blanket that wraps around the body keeps the heat and moisture closer to the skin, enhancing sweat production and making the detox process even more effective.
Reduced Stress and Improved Sleep Quality
Infrared sauna heat directly impacts the body's cortisol levels, making it an excellent tool for stress management. During a session, cortisol levels drop while melatonin production is stimulated, helping to improve sleep and making it easier to fall asleep.
Many users find that an infrared sauna session in the evening has a calming effect. It promotes natural drowsiness and leads to a more restful and rejuvenating sleep.
- When the body heats up and sweats, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, lowering cortisol levels and inducing deep relaxation.
- FIR therapy also increases melatonin production, improving sleep quality and making it easier to fall asleep.
Better Blood Circulation and Heart Health
Infrared sauna heat affects the body's circulatory system by dilating blood vessels (vasodilation) and increasing blood flow. When the body is exposed to infrared heat, the autonomic nervous system signals the vessels to expand, allowing more blood to circulate with less resistance.
The increased circulation means oxygen and nutrients reach muscles and organs more quickly, contributing to better recovery and cell regeneration. At the same time, improved circulation helps the body remove waste products, including carbon dioxide and metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid.
During a sauna session, the heart works harder, similar to light physical activity. The increased heart rate and improved blood flow can, over time, help lower blood pressure and optimize vascular function.
Infrared heat also activates the skin's sweat glands and the lymphatic system, helping the body eliminate toxins and reduce strain on the heart. The combination of improved circulation and relaxation can have positive effects on cardiovascular health.
