During infrared sauna sessions, the body temperature grows, which means that infrared heat generates artificial fever. This will be a sign to our immune system to work at full power for a brief moment- more intense and powerful than ever, creating a barrier that stops invaders, or antigens, from entering the body.

Regular use of an infrared sauna can create ambient stress on the cardiovascular system. The hypothalamus causes an increase in cardiac output that is why positive cardiac stress occurs which produces cardiovascular training. It can help people with disabilities, who find it very difficult to control their cardiovascular system.

Heating muscles will increase the blood flow without the intense exercises of the body. Higher body temperature will bring better blood circulation. And with good circulation, the white blood cells in your immune system will be transported around the body as needed; this way you avoid potential diseases and sicknesses.

Increased blood circulation will stimulate sweat glands that produce sweat. Sweat contains toxins and waste products that have built up inside the body. Daily perspiration detoxifies the body. Substances that are found in sweat are, among other things, heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium) and alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulphuric acid, and cholesterol.

When having rheumatic inflammation, it is most important to improve blood circulation that flushes inflammation out of the joints by creating a current of hyper oxygenated hemoglobin through the affected areas of the body. Research by the Medisch Spectrum Twente has shown that infrared heat has an actual, wholesome effect on people with rheumatic conditions. 

The heat from the infrared sauna relaxes the body's muscles, improves circulation, and stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s all-natural "feel good" chemical and their release provide a truly wonderful "afterglow”. Besides physiological changes, an infrared sauna provides a pampering retreat - where we can relax and restore body and soul.

A good sweat is obtained after just a few minutes in the infrared sauna. Deep impurities and deadly skin tissue are drained, keeping your skin in good working order. This improves skin colour and elasticity. Pore cleansing has been shown to improve the capillary circulation, and skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and burns will fade.

The heat helps us to relax and regulates the level of cortisol in our blood. Cortisol is the hormone that is released when we’re stressed, and too high levels of cortisol can lead to such issues as insomnia. Infrared sauna reduces the levels of cortisol in the blood, and the penetrating warmth and tranquillity help us to fall asleep naturally, without any medicine.

Infrared heat enters the joints, muscles, and tissues, consequently, increasing oxygenation and blood circulation. This speeds up the body's natural healing process and helps reduce muscle tension and eliminate toxins that may be present. A light heat session before a workout helps to warm up the body.

Besides water, sweat consists of liposoluble toxins and heavy metals, acids, sodium, ammonia, fat, and cholesterol. Normal cholesterol and fat are responsible for cardiovascular disease, but regular use of the infrared cabin will reduce or remove these substances.
