A full spectrum infrared sauna offers the entire infrared wavelength spectrum. It includes far, mid and near infrared, and it’s worth noting that not all infrared saunas include all three. More commonly, you’ll see most infrared saunas labeled as ‘far infrared saunas’, meaning you’re only getting far infrared in your sessions. But with a full spectrum sauna, the three types of infrared wavelengths come with varying benefits.
For instance, near infrared wavelengths are absorbed just below the skin. This means that near infrared is particularly good for:
Skin/wound healing Improving wrinkles Decreasing skin inflammation Rejuvenating the skin Mid infrared, on the other hand, penetrates slightly deeper, offering benefits such as:
Improved healing (not just superficial) Decreasing deeper inflammation Improving pain Then there’s far infrared, this wavelength helps:
Detoxify the entire body Promote weight loss Increase your heart rate Potentially boosting your metabolism as well [1]. Keep in mind that this is merely a summation of the benefits; there are plenty more that are still being discovered through clinical trials.
These wavelengths complement each other, so when you have a full spectrum infrared sauna, you can reap all the benefits associated with every level of infrared. In less words, you have optimal therapeutic power during your infrared sauna sessions.
