Sweating is good for you. It is the body’s safe and natural way to eliminate toxins and stay healthy. Infrared sauna detoxification happens by heating the body directly, causing a rise in core temperature. This results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins resides, helping to flush them out.

In the mood to lose weight? We can help. Our infrared sauna promotes weight loss by increasing your core body temperature, detoxifying the body and burning calories while you relax in total comfort. As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate which provides a passive cardio workout causing the body to burn more calories.

Relaxing in an infrared sauna gives you a chance to recharge and helps to soothe stress levels. Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.

Studies have shown that sauna use can balance the brain-adrenal (HPA) axis, which, when out of balance, can result in what is commonly known as, adrenal fatigue.

Infrared sauna therapy helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep-tissue-sweat, leaving you fully refreshed and invigorated after each session.

One of the most compelling reasons to have regular sauna sessions at Lakeside Wellness Canberra is the natural pain relief associated with infrared light therapy. Infrared light penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic headaches. Infrared saunas cause the release of endorphins – which are opioid-like chemicals that are your body’s natural painkillers. Studies have shown that regular sauna sessions help to decrease chronic pain, reduce muscle spasms and speed up recovery time.

Research shows that long-term stress raises inflammation levels and is linked to many health problems. Stress and out-of-control inflammation is linked to just about every health problem we face. Autoimmune conditions; digestive, nervous system, and hormone issues all have inflammation at their core. Infrared saunas are an effective, natural way to calm inflammation throughout your entire system.

Our Sunlighten sauna is backed by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart. Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation.

Raising body temperature in saunas can be an effective natural way to help the body to kill off bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections.

Using an infrared sauna is like giving yourself a passive cardio workout. Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Sauna use increases something called BDNF, or brain-derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF encourages neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells) which is crucial for improving brain function and memory.

And because sauna use increases BDNF, this also helps with anxiety, depression, and overall mood.

Sauna use was associated in studies with an improvement in skin hydration and overall complexion. As we perspire, our pores open and waste products and old cells are shed, leaving your skin glowing with improved tone and elasticity.
