and an infrared sauna? By traditional sauna, we mean the sauna with
the box of hot rocks, you may have seen in Scandinavia. Very popular in Finland, Iceland, all throughout the regions
of northern Europe, and you may have used it at your gym, and on the other hand we
have the infrared sauna, like we're in here now.
The biggest difference is the way in which they heat the body. In the traditional sauna, you have the box of hot rocks, which then heats the air
which then heats you, and the challenge there is that it's somewhat of an ineffective and inefficient way of heating the body, because the heat has to pass through so many different mediums
before it can actually heat you. On the other hand, in the infrared sauna, you have these great carbon epoxy panels that are on our sides and behind us here, and these work in a
completely different way. They give off infrared heat, and this infrared heat, is able to pass through the air without heating the air very much, and actually heats the body directly, and infrared heat is our
body's natural heat signature.
It's what we actually
give off as human beings. That's why you look through
infrared night vision goggles and you see people. This is a heat that comes
very naturally to our body, and your body almost thinks
you're out exercising and producing your own heat. It's such a perfect fit for the way your biology works.
This requires the whole sauna not to have to be as
hot as you would have it in a traditional sauna. The reason that's important is because in a traditional sauna, it can get so so hot, that most people can't stay in there longer than 15 or 30 minutes, because the heat can start
to feel really oppressive, and also the heat can be so intense, that you can go into a bit of a fight or flight nervous system state, and when you're in that fight
or flight survival mode, your body is focused on surviving, not on detoxifying. If you imagine you're being
chased by a wild animal, your fight or flight nervous system state is wired to do exactly
and only what is needed to get you out of that situation. It's not gonna prioritize something as minor to your immediate
survival as detoxification.
When you're in the infrared sauna, you're actually totally
relaxed, really peaceful. It's great for relieving stress, and you're in a completely meditative relaxed nervous system state. No more fight or flight. It's easier to open up all your
channels of detoxification, and because the heat is so much gentler, you can actually stay in longer and probably get a lot more sweat out which is fantastic so you
get even more benefit.
If you haven't tried an
infrared sauna before, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot. It's an amazing feeling, and a really different experience than you probably would have ever had in a traditional sauna, for these reasons we've just discussed.
