History of Saunas
Science Behind Sauna
Steam Sauna
Key Functions:
Provides high-humidity heat for deep relaxation and sweating.
Helps relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and promote mental relaxation.
Scientific Basis & References:
Cardiovascular Response: Steam increases skin blood flow and raises heart rate while slightly lowering blood pressure.
Arterial Compliance: Temporary reduction in arterial stiffness, improving vascular function.
PubMed:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29269746/
Long-Term Cardiovascular Benefits: Frequent sauna use is associated with lower cardiovascular mortality.
JAMA Internal Medicine: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2130724
Recovery: Helps lower heart rate and supports post-exercise recovery.

Infrared Sauna
Key Functions:
- Uses radiant infrared heat to warm the body directly.
- Supports muscle recovery, circulation, and “passive cardio” effects.
Scientific Basis & References:
Thermoregulatory Stress & Blood Flow: Infrared heat raises skin and core temperature, triggering natural thermoregulatory responses.
PMC:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5941775/
Cardiovascular Adaptation: Can lower blood pressure and improve cardiorespiratory fitness when combined with exercise.
PubMed:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35785965/
Cellular Protection (Heat Shock Proteins): Infrared heat may stimulate HSPs to support cellular repair.
Nature:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-68022-1
Safety & Comfort: Operates at lower air temperatures (35–50 °C), allowing deep heat exposure with greater comfort.
Red-Light Sauna
Key Functions:
- Combines red light (600–850 nm) with infrared heat.
- Promotes cellular repair, collagen production, anti-inflammation, and recovery.
Scientific Basis & References:
Photobiomodulation: Red/near-infrared light absorbed by mitochondria increases ATP production and supports cell repair.
Nature:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-77290-w
Skin & Collagen: Red light stimulates fibroblasts, promoting collagen synthesis for skin repair.

Circulation & Anti-Inflammation: Heat + light synergistically improves microcirculation and reduces inflammation.

Synergy: Heat enhances cellular responsiveness to light therapy, maximizing recovery and repair.
