Far infrared sauna Sunstream 1

We offer far infrared sauna sessions in our clinic with bookings available for 30 minutes and for experienced sauna visitors 60 minutes.

If you have not been to our clinic before your first sauna session can only be booked in conjunction with a massage of at least 30 minutes. After your first visit you will have the opportunity to book a sauna session on its own or buy a package.

What are the benefits of using a sauna?

In general, saunas are popular for

  • relieving chronic pain,
  • decreasing muscle tightness and general aches and pains,
  • improving circulation and sleep,
  • inducing sweating,
  • detoxing,
  • raising the body temperature,
  • decreasing stress,
  • unwinding and relaxing the whole body.

Different kinds of heat treatments have been used to help heal the body in many cultures for hundreds of years. In America, Europe and China hot air baths and sweat lodges were very popular.

What conditions benefit from far-infrared sauna?

Although research is ongoing to determine the long term effects of infrared sauna, at present they are considered to be safe and powerful to our health.

The positive effects are caused by the type of electromagnetic waves that are generated rather than induced sweating. Unlike other types of saunas, infrared lamp saunas are designed to deeply heat the body from the inside in a natural way 1.

Research has already shown that infrared saunas are widely applicable for healing many inflammatory disorders. In addition, there are studies that prove that they are a good way to:

  • prevent high blood pressure and improve heart health2,
  • help people with arrhythmia and those who suffer from chronic heart failure3,
  • lower chronic pain (including rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis),
  • reduce stiffness and fatigue4,
  • improve quality of life in people with type II diabetes5,
  • and lift someone’s mood and well-being 6.
