Infrared saunas help you become the best version of yourself in many ways, but the infrared heat, in particular, is perfectly suited to promoting weight loss…while you relax. As you sit in the sauna, the infrared heat will gently surround you, enticing your body to sweat which gets your heart working faster, boosting circulation and increasing your metabolism, simultaneously burning calories left, right and centre. 

If you’re a sufferer of sporting injuries, everyday aches and/or chronic pain, infrared sauna treatment can change your life for the better! The increased blood circulation brought on by infrared heat carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles, aiding them in their recovery process and relieving tension. Your peripheral blood vessels will dilate, promoting relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. You’ll also feel a reduction in soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms as joints and fibres are warmed.

Fever is the body’s reaction to illness. Part of its purpose is to strengthen and accelerate the immune response when the body is attacked by harmful organisms. When you enter an infrared sauna, you are allowing your body to enter a state of “artificial fever”, effectively strengthening your immune system without being sick. Combined with improved elimination of toxins and wastes via sweat, this “artificial fever” increases your overall health and resistance to disease. We’re ready for you, flu season!

Now, this is one of the biggest benefits of an infrared sauna session – a natural, full-body detox. The increased ability for blood circulation and sweat gland stimulation brought on by infrared heat helps to effectively and efficiently release built-up toxins throughout the body. Daily sauna visits can help your body rid itself of highly toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, nickel and cadmium, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid and other organic and inorganic nasties. They’ve even been shown to help drug-dependent individuals have an easier time getting through the detox/withdrawal process of rehabilitation.

Feeling a little rundown? By scheduling a visit to Sona Rooms anytime throughout your day, you can enjoy a gentle, warm session that will help you feel relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to face life and everything it throws at you with renewed energy. Infrared saunas have been shown to affect the autonomic nervous system, putting you in the parasympathetic state (aka “rest and digest”) which gives your body a chance and a little helping hand to heal and release built up tension.

Does your skin show evidence of impurities? A visit to Sona Rooms is just what you need to promote a fresh, clean glow within your skin. Profuse sweating rids the body of deeply embedded impurities and dead skin cells that can cause our skin to age prematurely. Increased circulation draws nutrients to the surface of our bodies improving tone, elasticity, texture, colour and the general aesthetic of our skin.
