Infrared is a safe spectra of light or energy that our bodies perceive as heat. Infrared works by directly heating the body, safely warming us to create a cardiovascular workout on the body while also removing heavy metals and toxins.

What are the benefits of using an infrared sauna?

Detox

Sweating is your body's natural response when the sauna raises your core body temperature. Sweating in a relaxed state increases blood flow to your organs, resulting in a detox that begins at the cellular level and spreads throughout the body.

Stress Reduction

Finding mental, emotional and physical balance requires relaxation. Infrared light aids in the production of natural feel-good neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, allowing you to have more happy days. Making a meditative ritual out of your sauna time can help you achieve a deeper state of relaxation.

Pain Relief

An infrared sauna stimulates mitochondria at the cellular level, resulting in increased circulation, oxygenation and healing responses. This provides relief to people suffering from joint and muscle pain.

Anti-inflammatory

The use of an infrared sauna has been shown to lower inflammatory markers in the body. Inflammation has a negative impact on overall health, so using an infrared sauna on a regular basis to reduce it is beneficial!

Improved Sleep

Infrared saunas stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which leaves us calm and composed. Booking evening sessions is a great way to promote relaxation and sleep.

Better Immunity

An Infrared Sauna session can help to boost your immune system. The sauna's heat raises your body temperature, triggering your cells' natural immune response.

Improved Cardiovascular Health

Regular use of an infrared sauna has been linked to weight loss due to the natural increase in circulation. It's similar to a light workout done while sitting.

What should you wear in the infrared sauna?

Wear whatever feels comfortable, but be aware that you will be perspiring. We recommend taking your clothes off or wearing your favourite cossie. Regular infrared sauna users prefer to wear light clothing to make dressing easier later. We offer cooled towels and dry towels to wipe down during and after your sauna. There are no shower facilities, but a dip in Glenelg beach sounds wonderful.

What can you do in the infrared sauna?

A session in an infrared sauna allows you to relax and recharge. You can sit there quietly, read a book or connect your phone to the sauna's Bluetooth and listen to your favourite podcast, audiobook, music, or guided meditation. We recommend not bringing phones into the sauna and disconnecting your device before leaving the sauna room.

What to do after a sauna

Feel free to spend five minutes in our reception area after your sauna. We will gladly prepare a refreshing herbal tea for you. It's important to remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water over the next 24 to 48 hours to assist your body in flushing toxins.
