This is where a Jacuzzi Infrared Sauna comes in. These saunas provide a powerful range of benefits that will have you wishing you had invested in one long before today.
Better yet, they fit right inside your home, so adding some serious self-care time into your daily routine as simple as walking into the next room! Now, you may be asking yourself, what are the benefits you could experience with a jacuzzi infrared sauna?
How Do Jacuzzi Infrared Saunas Work?
Before we get to the benefits, it’s important to understand how infrared saunas work. Unlike traditional saunas that use steam to heat your body instead. a Infrared sauna works at a certain wavelength of light. This light is able to deeply penetrate your skin, which warms your fatty tissue without needing to heat the air around you to do it. This creates a dry comfortable heat while maximizing the health benefits you’ll experience.

What Are the Benefits of a Jacuzzi Infrared Sauna?
There is a wide range of benefits you get with infrared saunas. That positively affect your skin right down to influencing your heart health! Here are some of the best benefits you can enjoy when you include a quick sauna session in your regular routine.
1. A Whole Body Detox
Our bodies are consistently exposed to many contaminants. Including pollution, dust, and toxins from the air we breathe, the food we consume, and even the products we use on our skin.
These harmful substances accumulate on the surface of our skin and are gradually absorbed into our bodies, putting strain on our detoxification systems. The most effective ways to combat these toxins is sweating. Getting into a sauna gets your body to release these harmful substances, leaving you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and purified.
2. Weight Loss
While Saunas certainly don’t make up for poor eating or a lack of exercise, infrared saunas provide possibly the most relaxing way to support weight loss.
They can help with your weight loss goals by making your body work just a little harder than it would while you’re on your couch. although its in very small amounts. Many people don’t know that something as simple as switching out a soda for a diet version could put you in a calorie deficit which in turn will very slowly help you lose weight.
Your sweat sessions will help you burn some extra calories without you having to lift a finger. Saunas make your heart beat faster and your body sweats as it desperately tries to bring your temperature back down.
3. Improved Circulation
Soon after stepping into your jacuzzi infrared sauna, your body temperature will begin to rise, your heart will pump faster, and your blood vessels will dilate.
This domino effect results in an impressive boost in your body’s circulation. When your blood is better able to move through your body, it can more effectively support your overall health (mental and physical) and well-being, providing the necessary oxygen your muscles need to thrive.
Better yet, this improvement in your circulation also helps to improve your blood pressure and strengthen your heart as it works harder to combat the sudden rise in temperature.
Studies suggest that infrared heat may provide cardiovascular benefits by improving circulation and promoting healthier blood flow. Learn more from National Geographic.
4. Healthier Skin
The infrared heat enhances circulation, delivering a surge of oxygen-rich blood to your skin. This increased blood flow nourishes your skin with essential nutrients, promoting a healthier, more radiant complexion.
As a result, your skin is better equipped to look and feel its best, with a glowing, youthful appearance that reflects your inner well-being.
5. Pain Relief
This is another benefit that’s supported by this increase in circulation but is put into overdrive simply through the soothing warmth of the sauna. My father has joint pain and as his body is surrounded by heat, his muscles and joints are coaxed into relaxing, helping them release the tension they’ve been holding onto throughout the day.
As the sauna relaxes you, you’ll feel a wave of relief where you’d been tensing your muscles all day.
According to a study from the National Library of Medicine, regular sauna use has been linked to long-term pain relief. This benefit is largely due to improved circulation, which delivers oxygen-rich blood to muscles, helping them heal and recover after daily strain.
6. Stress Relief
Stress… We all have it, and we all hate it. Stress is nearly impossible to escape from. However, infrared saunas will help give you relief by naturally detaching you from your phone as you escape into the warmth of the room, and help calm your mind from the stresses of the world.
Saunas provide the perfect place for you to simply exist. No phones or distractions. No urgent matters. It’s just you and the heat.
7. Improved Sleep
While the relaxation and stress relief alone are enough to give you a good night’s rest, the temperature fluctuation really hits it home. Have you ever noticed that when you’re really tired, you suddenly feel cold?
Or maybe you’ve experienced an increase in your body temp during the first 30min of your day as your body wakes up.
A study published in Scientific Reports suggests that enhanced conductive body heat loss during sleep increases slow-wave sleep, which is crucial for physical and mental recovery.
This happens because temperature plays a big role in the signals our brain sends out. When your body temperature rises, then temperature change can make it much easier for you to fall asleep and can even help you sleep longer throughout the night.
How Often should I Use a Infrared Sauna?
When it comes to your sauna use, there’s one big determining factor, are you just starting out, or are you a long time user?
If you are a newbie, You’ll want to start using a sauna slowly. Give your body time to adjust to this new and much hotter environment it’s being exposed too. Its safe to start with two sessions a week, and I would recommend working your way up to four or five sessions a week.

The warmth of the infrared sauna will allow you to increase flexibility and improve mobility even after you’ve left the sauna.
4. Aromatherapy
Scent is another one of our senses that can have a significant effect on our emotional state, Especially when it comes to relaxation.

How you care for yourself after you’re done in the sauna is equally as important as your pre-sauna routine.
The first thing you’ll want to do is rehydrate. It’s important to replenish your body after an intense sweat session, ensuring your continue to feel great after you’ve left the infrared heat. The second most important thing is to take your time cooling down. Don’t jump into a shower right away or get up and rush off to complete the next task in your very busy schedule.
