Boost Your Overall Wellness with a Twin Cities Infrared Sauna Experience

So, what exactly are the advantages of booking an infrared sauna here in the Twin Cities over other traditional sauna experiences? From immune support and detoxification to pain relief and skin renewal, infrared saunas provide a host of unique health and wellness benefits, making them one of the hottest therapies on the market today. Here's why they are so remarkable:

Traditional Saunas vs. Infrared Saunas

Unlike Finnish saunas, steam baths, and dry saunas, an infrared sauna works by heating your body directly rather than the air around you. Using patented, FDA-approved Solocarbon heating panels to distribute infrared waves evenly throughout the body, the result is a dry, comfortable sauna experience that delivers 95-99% effectiveness while operating at a more pleasant and manageable average temperature (120-150°F as opposed to 150-200°F for traditional saunas). Northern Aura’s luxurious, medical-grade infrared sauna by Sunlighten® has been proven to not only improve weight loss, reduce blood pressure, and boost detoxification but they are also associated with a host of unique benefits that promote a healthy, happy lifestyle. Here are just a few of the health benefits you can expect to take home with you after your next infrared sauna experience from Northern Aura:

Detoxification:

Sweating is undeniably great for your body. Being one of the safest, most natural ways for your body to heal and flush out toxins, a deep, healthy, and natural detoxifying sweat from an infrared sauna can help to expel the unwanted oils, dead skin cells, dirt, bacteria, and other toxic substances that often get trapped in your pores. 

Immune Support:

Raising your core body temperature every so often is key to maintaining your health. As your body begins to warm from infrared light waves, your cells begin to vibrate, releasing toxins that are picked up by your lymphatic system, resulting in beneficial byproducts such as increased white blood cells and T-cells that help ward off viruses and eliminate toxins. Additionally, this increase in body temperature works to stimulate the circulatory system, catalyzing dilation of the blood vessels, which helps cleanse the circulatory system and promote healthy, oxygenated cells and much-needed support to your immune system.

Weight Loss: 

Similar to exercise, infrared sauna from Northern Aura works to raise core body heat, forcing the body to work harder in order to cool itself off. This increase in activity results in a faster heart rate, higher cardiac output, and metabolic rate, allowing your body to burn up to 600 calories in one session. And of course, the more calories you burn, the more likely you are to lose weight. It's that simple!

Relaxation:

Designed with relaxation and comfort in mind, an infrared sauna works to soothe both your mind and body through therapeutic infrared waves that help balance your body's cortisol levels (the hormone in your body associated with stress). Heated to your liking, Northern Aura's infrared sauna sessions place you in a tranquil, stress-free environment, allowing for a highly decompressing experience that's sure to heal, relieve, and rejuvenate. 

Heart Health:

Acting as a passive cardio workout that increases both circulation and heart strength, an infrared sauna experience from Northern Aura gives you the same cardiovascular benefits of exercise without stress and strain on your muscles. From raising your heart rate to bringing in more oxygen to your circulatory system, infrared saunas help increase your heart health.

Anti-Aging:

From acne reduction and detoxification to enhanced skin tone, texture, and strength, infrared saunas are clinically proven to penetrate the skin deeper than traditional sauna treatments, resulting in the release of toxins responsible for breakouts and unhealthy skin. On top of this, numerous studies have shown that exposure to infrared waves works to increase both collagen and elastin, which are two of the most important ingredients for a healthy, youthful complexion. 

Muscle Recovery:

Heat alone is great for muscle recovery, pain relief, and inflammation. Infrared light, on the other hand, penetrates deep into the joints, muscles, and tissues, healing and restoring the body by increasing the amount of oxygenated red blood cells to the site of strain or inflammation. This increased blood flow and circulation results in an exponential boost to red and white blood cells. The more blood cells delivered to the joints and muscles, the quicker they are able to strengthen and rebuild.
