All about Infrared: The Difference Between an Infrared Sauna and a Traditional One

Here at Lite Mind Body, our Lite Detox Experience is anything but traditional.

• Experience 60 minutes in a private suite with access to an infrared sauna complete with silk robes, towel service, aromatherapy, a chromotherapy light system and a tablet with Spotify and Netflix for ultimate relaxation.

• After 45 minutes of detox, you can head to the cooling eucalyptus shower, equipped with luxury shampoo, conditioner and body wash to complete your much-needed self-care day.

But what exactly is an infrared sauna and how is it different from others that you might have experienced before?

Gentle heat for gentle relaxation

An infrared sauna produces heat from multiple sources, rather than a single source that most traditional saunas offer. Additionally, the heat that is generated is much gentler than that of traditional ones. In turn, this results in a deeper penetration of heat into the body so you can get the maximum detox from your 45-minute session. Because of this gentle penetration of heat onto the body, it can be a healthier option, especially for those who might find the traditional option overwhelming. Infrared saunas offer a myriad of benefits including:

• Elimination of toxins

• Relaxation

• Speeding up healing time

• Immune boosting

• Improving blood circulation

• A natural alternative to anti-aging

• Burning up to 600 calories

• Relieving pain and anxiety
