The Remarkable Benefits Of Far Infrared Sauna

Sharon Templeton 25 October 2023

One of the most common questions we’re asked is whether our Far Infrared Sauna is communal.

It isn’t.

Your session takes place in a private, cosy room — just for you. No sharing. No interruptions. Just time to unwind, reset, and let your body do what it does best.

Some of our guests come in simply for a sauna, followed by time in the massage chair and a herbal tea. And for many, that’s more than enough.

What Is The Far Infrared Sauna

In the world of holistic wellness, ancient practices meet modern innovation — and the Far Infrared Sauna is a perfect example.

Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, Far Infrared (FIR) saunas gently heat the body directly using infrared wavelengths. These waves penetrate deeper into the skin, warming you from the inside out, without the overwhelming heat of conventional saunas.

The result? A more comfortable experience with powerful, whole-body benefits.

The Benefits Of The Far Infrared Sauna

Detoxification

Sweating is one of the body’s most natural detox pathways. Far Infrared heat encourages a deeper, more effective sweat, supporting the release of toxins such as heavy metals and environmental impurities.

Improved Circulation

FIR heat helps dilate blood vessels and stimulate circulation, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body. This can support recovery, healing, and overall cardiovascular health.

Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery

The gentle warmth helps relax muscles, ease joint stiffness, and reduce inflammation. Many guests find relief from chronic pain, tension, arthritis, and general muscle soreness.

Stress Reduction & Deep Relaxation

Time spent in the sauna encourages the nervous system to slow down. Cortisol levels reduce, while feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine are supported — leaving you calm, grounded, and restored.

Skin Health & Glow

Improved circulation and detoxification can support clearer, brighter skin, improved elasticity, and collagen production. We especially recommend Far Infrared Sauna sessions after Endermologie treatments for enhanced results.

Weight Management Support

While not a substitute for movement or nutrition, the elevated heart rate and sweating can support metabolic function and calorie burn as part of a balanced lifestyle.

What To Expect During Your Visit

A typical Far Infrared Sauna session lasts around 30 minutes and is set at a lower, more comfortable temperature than traditional saunas — making it easier to relax and stay present.

  • Fresh, icy-cold water is always available
  • You’re welcome to step out at any time
  • If needed, you can relax in our massage chair mid-session

Your comfort and safety are always our priority.

With regular use, Far Infrared Sauna sessions can deliver cumulative wellness benefits — supporting detoxification, recovery, relaxation, and overall vitality.

As with any wellness practice, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider if you have existing medical conditions.

Stepping into our Far Infrared Sauna isn’t just about warmth. It’s about giving your body space to release, reset, and restore — in privacy, comfort, and calm.
