For many, the infrared sauna is a more comfortable option as the temperature in the room remains lower than in regular saunas; this is because the infrared heater warms not the air but the body itself – affecting not only the surface skin layer but also muscles, joints, and bones. In an infrared sauna, temperatures do not exceed 55 degrees Celsius, which positively affects the body without causing discomfort during the procedure and allows for sessions of varying lengths.
The infrared cabin is entirely made from healing cedar wood, which possesses bactericidal properties and releases aeroions when heated, positively influencing the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system.
Procedures in the infrared sauna are prescribed to enhance the body's resistance to bacterial and viral agents, especially during cold seasons, to stimulate blood circulation in tissues, reduce muscle pain, improve metabolic processes, and diminish and prevent the first signs of cellulite.
Main Advantages of the Infrared Sauna:
- Deep Tissue Heating: Infrared waves penetrate deeply into the body, improving blood circulation and accelerating metabolism.
- Muscle Relaxation: The procedure helps relieve muscle tension and reduces pain in joints and the back.
- Detoxification: Abundant sweating promotes the elimination of toxins and waste products.
- Immune System Strengthening: Regular sessions enhance the body's defenses, reducing the likelihood of colds.
- Stress Relief: The thermal effect calms the nervous system, improving mood and sleep quality.
- Body Aesthetics: Increased blood circulation and improved metabolism contribute to weight loss and better skin condition.
At the RZD-Health Medical Center of the Sanatorium Dolina Narzanov, Zheleznovodsk, sessions in the infrared sauna complement other comprehensive therapies, such as therapeutic physical exercise with an instructor, medical massage, baths, and showers.
