Infrared Sauna
Ready - Sweat - Glow
Melt away your tension from the day, detox your body and speed up recovery with the healing powers of Infrared Heat.
Raising your core body temperature stimulates a range of holistic health benefits to your body including the stimulation of circulating white blood cells, boosting the immune system, vasodilation occurs promoting increase in blood and oxygen circulation along with a comprehensive detox via sweat, reduced stress/anxiety and finally improved metabolic function leading to calorie burning and weight loss.
How Does It Work
Infrared saunas use heat to create an atmosphere that will raise your core body temperature. You'll sweat and your heart rate will increase to pump more blood to your skin. This is your body's way of cooling you down. The idea is that this process mimics the effects of exercise and provides similar health benefits.
Where traditional saunas use heating elements to raise the temperature of the air inside, infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body while the air around you stays unchanged. The result is your core temperature rising without having to sit in a room where the ambient temperature is close to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Some people find this more comfortable than traditional saunas.
Benefits of Infrared Saunas include:
Detoxification: Infrared saunas promote sweating, helping the body eliminate toxins though it’s biggest organ: the skin.
Cardiovascular Conditions: Infrared saunas can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure over time.
Exercise Recovery: Saunas taken before exercise increase performacne and improve recovery. Just remember to stay hydrated!
Boosted Immune System: Get a jump on cold and flu season with an Infrared Sauna that will increase white blood cells, lymphocytes, and neutrophils.
Mood Improvement: The Infrared Light closely mimics that of the sun, helping those seasonal depression and resetting the circadian rhythms to promote better sleep.
Younger Skin: Infrared technology encourages the development of collagen and elastin, leaving skin smoother, and helping wounds heal fast.
Circulatory System Oxygenation: In an Infrared sauna, your heart rate increases and blood vessels dilate, allowing more oxygen to enter the cells of your body more easily.
Pain Relief: Infrared heating pads are extremely beneficial for muscle and pain relief.
Relaxation: Help your body maintain healthy cortisol levels, relax, and de-stress.
Lowered Inflammation: Keep your mind sharp and inflammation low with regular sauna use.
The Alcheme Difference
Unlike a traditional sauna, our infrared sauna uses the most advanced, state-of-the-art full spectrum sauna technology. Our Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat the body from within rather than simply just heating the air around you, penetrating deep beneath the surface of the skin, to create heat and healing at a deep tissue cellular and molecular level. Because of this, our saunas are able to operate at a lower temperature, whilst achieving superior results
Our Infrared Saunas are 7 to 10 times more effective than traditional saunas, producing sweat composed of 20% toxins versus only 3% produced by traditional saunas
