The Science of Sauna Benefits

Reset your body and mind by awakening your natural ability to expel impurities. Regular sauna sessions can help you counteract exposure to the environmental toxins in your everyday life. Our proprietary FireLight® Spectrum optimizes light and heat therapy, penetrating to the cellular level for a deeper detox.

How it works

The heat therapy from your sauna or targeted therapy device helps you sweat and increases blood flow. Together, these processes allow your body to get rid of harmful substances that have built up over time. Although your liver and kidneys already work hard to remove toxins from your system, research has shown that some heavy metals are released more effectively through sauna sessions. Using your SaunaSpace devices can help enhance your body’s natural detoxification response so you feel your best every day.

Enjoy more healthy days by strengthening your body’s defenses. Each time you use your sauna, the FireLight® Spectrum activates your immune response and helps you protect your health during cold season and beyond.

How it works

The heat of the sauna raises your body temperature, encouraging the production of white blood cells and antibodies to strengthen the immune system. It also improves circulation, ensuring that immune cells are better distributed throughout the body. Lastly, many people experience stress reduction that can also contribute to improved resistance to illness.

Unwind and reset with the calming effects of the FireLight® Spectrum. Red and near-infrared light help regulate stress hormones, promote relaxation, and bring your body back into balance—so you can feel more at ease, both physically and mentally.

How it works

Photobiomodulation influences the autonomic nervous system, helping to shift your body from a state of stress (sympathetic activation) to deep relaxation (parasympathetic activation). It also supports the production of mood-balancing neurotransmitters like serotonin. Heat shock therapy helps de-stress our tissues through detoxification and protein repair. With regular use, you may notice reduced tension, deeper relaxation, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

Bring a little more balance into your daily life by making time to recharge mind, body, and spirit. Our FireLight® Spectrum boosts feel-good chemicals so you have happier days–perfect for when winter weather keeps you indoors. Build your inner calm and resilience with regular sessions so you can take on anything that comes your way.

How it works

Saunas create relaxation and reduce stress through multiple pathways. Warmth relaxes muscles, near infrared light releases endorphins, and activates a restful state through the parasympathetic nervous system. All of this contributes to reduced cortisol (stress hormone) levels and a better mood.

Bring more focus and clarity to your day with the mental benefits of the FireLight® Spectrum. Red and near-infrared light stimulate your brain’s natural protections and cognitive processes so you can rise above the mental fog.

How it works

Red and near-infrared light can protect, stimulate, and heal your brain through a process called photobiomodulation. Photobiomodulation increases cerebral blood flow and activates protective pathways in the brain. By using your sauna or targeted therapy devices regularly, you may notice more focus and clarity when tackling your most important tasks.

Support your weight loss goals, even while you relax in your sauna. The FireLight® Spectrum gets your heart pumping and body sweating so you can see results faster while treating yourself well.

How it works

Infrared sauna alone won’t replace exercise, but studies show that just sitting in the sauna has been shown to help obese people lose body weight and mass. While sweating in the sauna, the body spends more calories to cool down–and by simultaneously raising the metabolic rate, the body burns those calories more efficiently. Increased heart rate and circulation can also contribute to weight loss.
