Far infrared sauna has a long list of different health benefits, not from the sauna itself but from the infrared heat they generate.
1. Detoxification - There are many chemicals or toxins found in our bodies and these toxins can be eliminated from our bodies through sweat. Using an infrared sauna for approximately 30 minutes will cause your body to sweat and help with eliminating these harmful toxins.
2. Weight Loss - The initial weight loss that happens from using an infrared sauna is mostly water weight loss. But weight loss does happen if you use an infrared sauna several times per week. Infrared heat causes our metabolism to increase and burn more calories. This happens not just during the time you are in the infrared sauna, but for the next 36 hours.
