How Infrared Saunas Can Help Improve Mental Health & Wellbeing

Taking a holistic approach to your health & wellbeing means looking after both your mind and body. And the good news is that infrared saunas are beneficial for both. Regular sauna use has been shown to reduce the risk of developing age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Infrared saunas also activate the parasympathetic nervous system which helps to calm and relax us – making them an effective tool for stress management whilst also helping to improve sleep. Infrared saunas also have a positive impact on the endocrine system which responds to heat by increasing the production of beta-endorphins, (responsible for the “pleasure” and “analgesic” effects of a sauna) and norepinephrine which is associated with improved mood, focused attention and raised heart-rate).

Sauna sessions are a great time to switch off and have some screen-free time. The comforting warmth helps us to relax, let go of tension and shift you into a state of both physical and mental relaxation. Our saunas have bluetooth connectivity too so you can put on your favourite podcast (like Finding Space With Alex Tyson), an audiobook, some soothing music or guided meditation. With our range of saunas, you can also tailor your sauna experience to enhance mental health & wellbeing benefits with features such as colour therapy lighting and bespoke aromatherapy oils.
