Can an infrared sauna help with better health?
The sun is the most important source of energy on earth. During a hot summer day, we experience the benefit of the sun's rays on our skin. An infrared cabin from infraplus works in a similar way to the sun: you get plenty of positive energy! This can be positive for your health. The infrared emitters of an infrared cabin heat you from the inside out and therefore have a better depth effect than a traditional sauna. Clinical studies show that infrared heat relieves muscle and joint pain. But because you also perspire heavily in an infrared cabin, you cleanse your body and improve your resistance. Did you know that you get rid of up to 7 times more toxins in an infrared sauna?

Arthritis and infrared sauna: does it really help?
For those living with arthritis, lasting pain relief is a dream they hope will one day become a reality. Since many (pain-relieving) drugs cause a great strain on the liver and kidneys, many people look for an alternative method of pain relief.

Detoxing in an infrared sauna, how does it work?
Many diseases occur because there is an excess of toxic substances in our bodies. Every day, we come into contact with these toxic substances. Whether through work, airborne pollution or chemicals in everyday products, we do not escape them. Many of these substances are foreign to the body and do not belong there. We can remove these substances from our bodies through detoxification. At the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, the world's oldest health centre, infrared therapy has been part of the detoxification programme for years. Doctor Clement, medical director of the centre, explains briefly: Infrared saunas are a great tool, and can greatly speed up the detoxification process. The heat gets a long way deep into the tissue, accelerating the natural metabolism. It also improves circulation, and starts adding oxygen to the tissues.
Does an infrared sauna offer relief from skin problems?
SuperSauna infrared saunas can help rejuvenate the skin. A study published in The Journal of Cosmetic showed significant improvements in skin after just 12 weeks of infrared sauna use.

Use of infrared sauna
An infrared sauna has positive health effects. It is still advisable to preheat the infrared sauna for a few minutes before using the infrared sauna cabin. On the one hand because the cabin is already nice and warm, on the other because the emitters then generate 100% infrared. While you are in the cabin, it will rise about 1 degree per minute. A session in the infrared sauna takes about 30 minutes. This means that if you get in at 30 degrees, it will gradually rise to about 60 degrees at the end of the session. If you find this too hot, you can open the ventilation slider and possibly also the door of the ir cabin.
Advantages of an infrared cabin
An infrared sauna is very easy to use, easy to connect and can relieve muscle and joint pains. You can simply connect the infrared sauna to a normal 220-volt socket. Within minutes, the infrared sauna is ready to use. The cabins are usually smaller than a normal traditional sauna and therefore easier to place in smaller spaces such as a bedroom.
