Infrared Sauna

What is an infrared sauna
Our iHealth Far infrared sauna combines high performance wall-mounted carbon fibre heaters and pure wave ceramic heaters which may be moved around inside the cabin. The constant infrared heating action means you will receive the full benefits of sauna therapy throughout your entire session. The moveable ceramic heaters are a fantastic way to target specific areas including feet, knees, legs and hands. Infrared sauna therapy differs from the ancient practice of using fire beneath a makeshift lodge to generate heat, instead utilizing infrared light waves to generate heat in the body. These waves penetrate deeper into the tissues without excessively raising the temperature of the sauna room, making this therapy ideal for people who can’t tolerate the heat and humidity of traditional sauna rooms and so might miss out on the potential benefits. The infrared waves themselves are invisible, falling within the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Also referred to as “far-infrared” waves (FIR), they have the ability to positively alter the body’s tissues by penetrating below the surface of the skin, generating mitochondrial activity and effectively circulating heat. Although long-term research is still being conducted, infrared sauna therapy is considered to be an affordable, safe, and extremely effective way to reduce pain, increase detoxification, improve the cardiovascular system, and more.

What to wear during your infrared sauna session
For the best-infrared sauna experience, wear something loose-fitting and light. This may vary from shorts and a light cotton shirt to your bathing suit. You'll want maximum ventilation because the infrared sauna raises your core body temperature and produces a lot of sweat. Breathable fabrics help you avoid feeling suffocated or restricted. If your first thought when considering what to wear in an infrared sauna was your swimsuit, you are on the right track, but there are a few important caveats you should be aware of before donning any old swimsuit to get in an infrared sauna. Wearing the correct type of swimsuit is essential.Do not wear a swimsuit made of PVC or spandex. In these fabrics your skin cannot breathe, and your body will retain too much heat and not sweat properly. This could cause dehydration or discomfort.
PVC fabrics could soften or begin to melt under high temperatures, which aside from possibly burning your skin, could release toxic fumes into the air.
Choose a swimsuit made from natural materials that fits loosely, if possible, to allow better airflow and breathability.
Do not select a swimsuit with metal decorations or jewelry, and avoid ones with dangling pieces. These additions might look pretty, but they could get very hot in the sauna and burn your skin.
COTTON IS THE BEST OPTION Cotton will not interrupt the infrared rays, nor limit your ability to sweat, and it will offer you the coverage you need to feel comfortable in the sauna.
Choose pure or high cotton content items to wear in the sauna, such as an oversized t-shirt, a cotton wrap, baggy yoga pants, or light and comfortable shorts and tank top.Make sure your chosen cotton clothing is loose-fitting, and that it allows good air movement against the skin.
Cotton is the perfect cloth for relaxing in the sauna, as it absorbs excess heatwaves and allows the skin to breathe properly.
Even if they are cotton, avoid wearing any tight clothes. Any bras worn into the sauna should be loose-fitting, breathable, and free of underwires.Ensure your clothing is clean before entering the sauna. Any dirt or dust trapped in your clothing might be released by the warm air, lowering the hygiene of the sauna space. The infrared sauna is yours for the session, so feel free to wear clothes, your sports bra whatever's most comfortable for you!
What not to wear in an infrared sauna
  • Don’t wear dirty clothing – the heat may cause the dirt to loosen from the fabric and enter the air. This could cause skin breakouts and will spread germs.
  • Do not wear workout clothing – PVC or spandex clothing will prevent airflow and could release chemicals into the air at high temperatures.
  • Remove all jewellery before entering the sauna – metal can get quite hot in the sauna and could burn your skin. Remember to remove all piercings as well.
  • Always go into the sauna with clean skin – lotions and makeup will clog the pores, preventing you from sweating properly, and will make a mess in the sauna when you do sweat.
  • Remove your Smart watch – sports watches and Smart watches are very sensitive to heat, and can react badly to the higher temperatures inside a sauna booth.
Infrared Sauna Cleaning
Nobody wants to sit in someone else's sweat and germs, so we sanitise our infrared sauna between visits. This is fairly common to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. In addition to thorough cleaning procedures, infrared saunas naturally kill bacteria and pathogens. The light and infrared heat produced by the sauna neutralise many strains of bacteria, enhancing the cleanliness of an infrared sauna.
Using Electronics in the sauna
While infrared saunas produce less ambient heat and are generally considered safer for electronic devices, you are entering at your own risk. Many of our visitors use their electronic devices in the infrared sauna, but too much heat can cause damage to certain electronics. If you notice the device overheating, pause the session and remove it from the sauna before continuing. Can I take my phone into the Infrared Sauna? While electronics are often safe inside the infrared sauna, we advise using caution when using your phone. Cell phones, smart watches, wireless headphones, and other electronics are subject to overheating in the sauna. The higher the room temperature, the more damage will be caused.

Before your first sauna

Please arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment for your induction. Be sure to sign the waiver before your appointment. Be sure to be well hydrated one hour before your sauna. Each person's heat tolerance is different, but being properly hydrated will make it much more enjoyable. The optimal temperature is between 48-53 degrees. Each sauna is large enough to comfortably fit 2 people. We supply a towel but you are welcome to bring your own towel. The sauna has bluetooth connectivity so you can bring your own music or use the time to meditate, whichever you prefer. There is also a space to rest an iPad if you want to watch Netflix while you get your sweat on (although, we suggest using our saunas as a way to escape technology!) What to avoid - Caffeine, alcohol or other stimulants at least one hour prior to your session- Eating within an hour of your sauna session- Showering at least 30 min after your Sauna to experience the full benefit of the detoxification
