What is an infrared sauna (IR sauna)?Infrared sauna, often abbreviated as IR sauna.It does not use an oven or heating unit like a regular sauna, but the IR sauna is equipped with infrared panels or infrared radiators along the walls that emit infrared radiation.Infrared heat (radiation) is completely harmless and has been shown to have numerous health benefits.
What are infrared rays?
IR radiation is experienced as heat when you spend time in the sun. Being exposed to infrared heat for extended periods is completely harmless and can never cause any damage to the skin like ultraviolet radiation (UV) can.
All humans emit and receive long-wave infrared rays, and we live in an environment filled with long-wave infrared rays.
The most beneficial range for humans lies between 7-14 microns, and these are called the "vital rays." They have been shown to provide a range of positive effects on the human body.
The majority of the sun's energy comes from the infrared frequency range. Infrared is a form of radiant heat that warms objects directly without heating the surrounding air.
More heat and sweat
The panels in an infrared sauna emit infrared radiation that provides more penetrating heat in the body's tissues and does not heat the air in the same way as a regular sauna, which also heats mostly on the surface of the body.
Long-wave infrared light penetrates through the body to a depth of 4.5 cm and makes you sweat up to 2-3 times more than in a traditional sauna despite maintaining much lower temperatures.
The temperature in an infrared sauna is often 40–60°C compared to 70–100°C in a wet sauna and preferably over 100°C in a dry sauna.
Energy efficient
An infrared sauna is highly efficient and energy-saving and has a fast heating time of just a few minutes, unlike the regular sauna's half hour.
Less than 20% of the energy goes to heating the air in an infrared sauna, where over 80% is converted to heat inside the body – a crucial difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna.
Convenient
A portable IR sauna can be placed anywhere in the home or outdoors. A regular sauna can also be supplemented with infrared panels.
14 health benefits of IR sauna
The IR sauna has long been used for relief of pain and stiffness in muscles and joints within rehabilitation and medicine. It improves blood circulation and has a cleansing effect on foreign substances in the body. Regular sauna bathing can both lower blood pressure and prevent common colds.
In addition, the IR sauna can:
Improve cellular energy and mitochondrial function.
Reduce inflammation and pain.
Improve oxygen supply in the blood.
Support the body's detoxification.
Strengthen the immune system.
Burn calories and reduce cellulite.
Provide better sleep and concentration.
Help the body's recovery
Block the body's own pain receptors, which is beneficial for rheumatism and fibromyalgia.
Reduce stiffness in the joints.
Improve skin quality. Pores open and toxins are released.
Affect collagen production and increase skin elasticity.
Help reduce cellulite and counteract water retention in the body.
Provide a wonderful feeling of well-being and relaxation, which often contributes to better sleep.
However, you can expect greater fluid loss, as you sweat up to three times more from infrared heat, so it's important to drink plenty of water.
If you experience dizziness or headaches, it's time to end the sauna session for this time.
Boost your immune system with an IR sauna
The most effective way to trigger a natural immune response is to raise the body's core temperature (hyperthermia or fever).
This is the body's primary defense against invading foreign viruses and bacteria. In fact, bacteria and viruses begin to die at higher temperatures than normal.
But at higher temperatures, the brain actually begins to be negatively affected, which is why it's good to use an IR sauna where your head is not affected by the heat.
Create a deeper detox with dry brushing
Dry brushing affects the skin and lymphatic system. Gentle brushing before the sauna session works as a light exfoliation by opening and removing clogged pores, removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell renewal.
This also increases blood flow and encourages the detoxification process by activating the lymphatic system. Doing deep breathing exercises while sitting in the IR sauna also helps the lymphatic system.
You can read more about the lymphatic system and here are 15 tips on how to activate lymphatic flow.
If you sit in the sauna too much in too short a time, you may experience detox symptoms. You may then become tired, nauseous and get headaches. Reduce usage and drink water.
Therasage's infrared sauna
Therasage Thera360 Full Spectrum Sauna is an advanced infrared portable sauna with full spectrum infrared heat.
The sauna provides heat from all three frequencies: near, mid, and far. Thera360 has an oversized, soft and collapsible cabin with a foldable bamboo chair and infrared bamboo foot pad.
It is easy to set up anywhere at home and easy to fold up. It is also lightweight, energy efficient and can be stored in a closet or under a bed.
It emits no harmful electromagnetic frequencies which is fantastic and is offered at an affordable price so that everyone can experience this beneficial heat at home.Thera360 has a soft and collapsible cabin with a foldable bamboo chair and infrared bamboo foot pad.

Another very important aspect is that it does not emit harmful electromagnetic frequencies, which other IR saunas on the market do.
The sauna is offered at an affordable price so that everyone in the world can experience this beneficial heat directly in their home.
Therasage 360 is available in both black and white.

Better results with full spectrum heat
Full spectrum infrared energy encompasses all three light frequencies: near (NIR), mid (MIR) and far (FAR). Therasage's Thera360 uses heat from all three frequencies.
FAR is important for improving circulation and metabolic function. It helps with deep tissue detoxification (especially for heavy metal detoxification) and improves oxygen supply to the blood and body tissues.
MIR can penetrate soft tissue to a greater extent.They can help with inflammation, pain and reduce overall healing time.
NIR is absorbed just under the skin surface and promotes the skin. It promotes skin renewal, cellular health, wound healing and tissue growth.
In Thera360 Plus, "Tri-Lite" panels are also introduced that enhance the near-infrared frequencies and add red light frequencies.
Red light is visible to the eye and is most effective for use on the skin's surface. Red light occupies the end of the visible spectrum with wavelengths of 630 nm – 700 nm.
Infrared light is invisible, and when you increase the wavelength, from red to infrared, you also increase how far the frequencies penetrate into the body.
The full spectrum (invisible to the eye) comes from three composite panels around the perimeter of the sauna itself. The Tri-lite panel at the front has one red light (visible to the eye) and two NIR frequencies.
Additionally, the sauna has tourmaline stones that generate an abundance of negative ions and bathe your body from every angle in soft full spectrum infrared frequencies.
Does not emit electromagnetic frequencies
Therasage Thera360 Full Spectrum Sauna is free from electromagnetic frequencies (EMF).
To achieve this, Therasage uses three different methods – shielding, blocking and harmonizing.
Shielding and blocking occurs with special silver-coated wire insulation in the sauna and through cast-in paramagnetic piezo-earth materials.
Harmonization occurs by pressing more than 200 frequencies into a chip that generates a biofield that expands 3 meters in circumference and supports the body's biofield.

Getting started with IR sauna
Always drink about 1.3 cups of water before and after use.
Place a towel over the footrest and over the chair to absorb sweat and toxins and make it more comfortable, plus it's easy to wash the towel.
Start with 50 degrees for 20-30 minutes per day if you are in good health.
If you have experienced similar treatments before, you can start with a temperature of maximum 70 degrees. If you feel dizzy or faint, end the treatment immediately and leave the sauna and drink water.
The brain is more sensitive to heat than the rest of the body. You can put your head in for a while (5-10 minutes) but not the entire time.
Older children can test the sauna for shorter periods: 10 minutes at 40-43 degrees.
For illness: If you have diabetes, pacemaker, heart disease, blood disease, very high or low blood pressure, you should first consult with your doctor.
Do not use the sauna during fever. The sauna is also not intended for pregnant women or small children.

Care and cleaning
It is easy to set up your sauna and take it down. You can use it in any room in the home.
However, do not set it up near heat sources such as a stove, radiator or open fireplace since the outer shell is made of textile.
It is easy to take care of your sauna. The infrared frequencies kill all bacteria and the towels you use absorb your sweat.
If you feel it is needed, you can use a damp cloth with mild natural soap or essential oil to wipe down your sauna – both on the inside and outside.The sauna comes with two soft collars with zippers. You can simply replace the collars while one is in the wash with the towels.
Always unplug the sauna from the power outlet when not in use. You can also get a surge protector, but it's not a must.
