The benefits of an infrared sauna have only recently been explored by the health care field. Health care practitioners have recommended heat therapy for patients for many, many years, but the traditional heated saunas of the past are rapidly being replaced by infrared sauna heat for the preferred method of heat treatment.
One of the best advantages of using an infrared sauna is for pain relief. A burst of infrared heat that is released penetrates deeply into the underlying muscle tissues and 93% of this heat is absorbed directly into the skin. When heating up the inner tissues of your body, you experience vasodilatation of the blood vessels, which can greatly reduce general achiness, muscle spasms and stiff joints. Infrared heat used to treat pain from fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is also becoming more and more common. Studies have shown that that using heat within 24-48 hours also great reduces inflammation and helps heal sprains and muscle strain, which is another benefit of heat therapy.
Using infrared sauna heat therapy is also a great way to increase tissue elasticity. By exposing your skin to heat, you can increase tone, elasticity and texture. By directly increasing blood circulation you bring fresh nutrients to the surface and when you begin to sweat, you release inner toxins through the surface of the skin. Infrared sauna heat can also be seen in working the ligaments, joints, tendons and fascia tissue. With heat therapy you can improve the flexibility of your skin measurably and improve your health.
Some new and exciting benefits of infrared sauna heat can been witnessed in cancer therapy and in relieving chronic ear infections. Some scientific researchers believe that exposure to infrared heat can help stimulate your body’s immune system by increasing your body temperature. It is a well known fact that some forms of bacteria and viruses have a poor tolerance to heat and increase body temperature can stimulate production of more white blood cells and improve the immune system. Heat therapy can also open up clogged nasal passages and in turn allow for better drainage and can help prevent fluid accumulation in the inner ear, which can relieve the pain of chronic ear infections.
You should always check with your physician and check with your pharmacist prior to beginning an infrared sauna therapy regimen. The owners of Sunlife Sauna have been veterans of the health care industry for over 25 years and are dedicated to providing the public with education on the various healthful benefits of having a home sauna.

The Joy of an In Home Infrared Sauna
Owning your own personal home sauna allows you to experience a spa-like experience anytime you want. You don’t have to worry about driving to your local spa or health club, and you and your family will get the added benefits that come from having one in your own home.
Many people who enjoy a traditional sauna are quite surprised to learn that owning a 2-person infrared sauna can be very affordable. A traditional sauna is like a sweat box and sweating at very hot temperatures can be very uncomfortable for long periods of time. Those who find a traditional sauna to be claustrophobic and suffocating are very pleased when they experience an infrared portable sauna for the very first time.
A regular sauna relies on high levels of heat in the air, which then in turn heats your body up. The Carbon 360 infrared sauna offered by Sun Life Saunas is a great alternative for those who are seeking a more comfortable alternative.
