Holon offers therapy with an infrared sauna for Glasgow customers. This type of sauna uses light to heat the body from the inside out. The infrared heat allows for deeper relaxation and detoxification compared to a regular sauna. Infrared saunas have been linked to enhanced athletic recovery, better blood circulation and improved cardiovascular health.
Infrared sauna therapy uses infrared heaters that release infrared light, experienced as radiant heat, which is absorbed by the skin’s surface. Infrared heat directly heats the body, allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of sweating at a more comfortable yet effective temperature.
Infrared saunas offer relaxing and stress-relieving effects. The heat from an infrared sauna promotes muscle relaxation and can have a calming effect on the mind.
Sweating in a sauna is believed to be highly beneficial for ridding the body of toxins through the skin. By liberating toxins from the tissues, they can be expelled through urine and faeces.
The radiant heat in infrared saunas can enhance blood flow and circulation, potentially benefiting cardiovascular health.
Saunas may relieve muscle and joint pain and stiffness, and athletes often use them for post-exercise recovery.
Regular sauna use may contribute to improved skin health by potentially opening pores and flushing out toxins.
Infrared sauna treatment can potentially support weight loss efforts by increasing the metabolism to burn calories, which could also help reduce excess water weight temporarily.
Exposure to high temperatures during a dry sauna treatment induces a heat stress response in the body, known as heat shock proteins. This response triggers various physiological adaptations aimed at maintaining thermal balance.
The heat from the infrared light sauna causes blood vessels near the skin’s surface to dilate (vasodilation). This helps improve blood circulation and increases oxygen delivery to tissues.
The body’s response to heat stress includes an increase in heart rate (tachycardia). This cardiovascular response is a natural attempt to maintain cardiac output and deliver more oxygen to meet the increased metabolic demands.
Sweating is a primary mechanism for cooling the body during heat exposure. During infrared sauna therapy, sweating is enhanced, promoting thermoregulation by releasing heat through evaporation.
The heat from infrared sauna sessions can help relax muscles and alleviate muscle tension. This is often why sauna use is popular for post-exercise recovery.
Exposure to high temperatures stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. This can contribute to the relaxation and stress relief reported by sauna users.
Regular infrared sauna with light therapy treatment is sometimes associated with improved skin condition. The heat and sweating may help open up pores, promote cleansing, and contribute to a healthy complexion.
