Supporting the immune system
Our immune system is the defense mechanism that protects our body from the dangers of everyday living. Naturally, we are prone to bacteria from dust, old clothes, and the flora & fauna nearby.
Our immune system makes sure that we are equipped with enough defense mechanisms in order to tackle the harmful effects of the bacteria that our bodies are exposed to. Infrared sauna benefits the immune system by strengthening it and balancing our core body temperature. It strengthens the healing capacity of the system by providing relaxation to the lungs, heart, tendons, and soft tissues inside the body.
An infrared sauna is an indispensable tool for defeating the diseases caused by germs that enter our system. The infrared light removes all germs from our bodies and heals any damage that may have been done by them.
Modern technology has allowed the body to experience induced feelings and an infrared sauna is one of the most popular induced experiences that help boost the functioning of the immune system in our body. The system takes in the light particles and processes them in the direction of the bacteria, germs, and harmful particles. It detoxifies the body from them, aiming to heal the body and reduce the chances of catching a toxic disease.
Our immune system is a support system for all the other functions in the body. Infrared sauna has anti-aging properties that keep the immune system intact for longer life.
The heat created in this process releases a lot of sweat from the body which removes all kinds of impurities from the skin. Stress has been known to be one of the major causes of weakening the immune system.
More about the technique

Stress reduction provides strength to the immune system as the nerve fibers are free from unnecessary pressure and can work more effectively.
An infrared sauna restores the natural healing process of the body and quickly redeems the body from unknown stress and unhealthy cracks in the skin. The immune system offers a great deal of help when it comes to regulating the body temperature and this can be done through regularly emitting the body to infrared radiation. These are strong yet sufficient light waves that travel through the body and provide security to the immune system.

Overall well-being through infrared sauna
An infrared sauna, also called a Far infrared sauna, has a tremendous effect on the quality of life. As already mentioned, it activates the full potential of the immune system that acts as a shield against internal as well as external injuries.
Regularly taking this sauna benefits the immune system by reducing the chances of common occurrences of cold, cough, and influenza. The unique and distinct infrared sauna directly perpetrates the skin without actually creating an atmosphere of warm air in the surroundings. This allows for immediate and quick healing without waiting for a longer time in the surroundings to get that warm air to restore your skin.
The body develops gradually with the cells that compound in numbers with growing age. These cells need to be healthy and fully oxygenated. An infrared sauna detoxifies the bodily impurities and provides a way for more oxygen in the body.
It heals and repairs any damaged cells as the light directly enters the skin allowing for continuous exposure to the unhealthy cells. It increases the anti-oxidants in the body thus making our immune system healthier and happier. These saunas work as detoxification palaces where the mind and body can relax and can align together for enhancing the quality of life.

You’re a sweetheart! I love that you learned about the infrared sauna here and that you use saunas to help you feel your best :)

Ooooh what a wonderful present this one would make! Thank you for taking time to read, Sally as I know you’re busy <3
Always time to read good stuff Christy.. hugs ♥
Awww… hugs!
Wow that was incredibly interesting. I have not ever seen anything like this.
We’re always learning :) :)
Haven’t heard of this before now I will have to find out if there is one nearby! Many thanks Christy. :)
Great to hear you’ve found some useful information on infrared saunas here, Marje!!
Hi Christy…
Excellent post and one I read with interest. I have used them over the years and yes they are great.
I have also tried many of the older detoxing saunas out there. Of all I found the Native Sweat Lodge to be the best. Years ago I had a terrible cold while on the East Coast my Mi’kmaw friends on Chapel Island suggest a sweat. The next morning I was as good as new fishing for lobster. Years later I built my own and it was a regular pastime summer and winter.
Thanks for sharing…
Hugs from Alberta
Fabulous article Christy. These are amazing. I’ve tried them and almost had one put in our last house til we found out we were downsizing. But they are so beneficial. <3
You know, I haven’t ever heard of infrared saunas, but it seems like scientists are making leaps and bounds with technologies that, in synergy with nature, can produce some amazing results, such as you have outlined here. Well done! I’m going to have to look into this – I haven’t frequented spas that much, but perhaps that needs to change. :)
Sending you hugs and wishes for a wonderful weekend! xoxo
Terrific post, Christy. Motivated me to find a spa near me that offers infrared sauna ~ and it’s only a few blocks away. Thanks so much for posting this ♥
I hit the enter button accidentally. I’m a better doctor than typist!
They provide all the benefits you mention WITHOUT CAUSING ANY HARM (on a cellular level) to the rest of the body. This is a modality currently used with patients suffering cancer. It is implemented (depending on the type of cancer) as a modality part of a treatment protocol.

I’m currently in Finland, where the sauna is indispensable of course. I find it relaxing, good for my skin and muscles and good for getting in touch with yourself. It works very well! Thanks for sharing your wisdom 😊
This is all new information to me Christy. It sounds like it is something that could be very beneficial for a number of uses. Perhaps this method could someday replace decontamination showers for those exposed to viral agents?
Never heard of it, hope I would find one here !
Sounds great.
I understand better why in certain countries the sauna became a culture to see better, a rite… The Middle East, suede, Iceland, Finland, Denmark, Norway…
Good day Christy
I kiss(embrace) you
Interesting. I never heard about this before, but my concern would be sharing those germs with others.
I’ve owned one for years and take it for granted, but your post has made me realize just how lucky I am to own one!
well, i hadn’t heard about that one. but if it kills germs and bacteria, won’t that expose us to others our body isn’t prepared for?
