What is a Dry Infrared Sauna and Why Do They Help?
When most people hear the word “sauna”, they think of sitting in a hot, extremely steamy room. But did you know that there are dry saunas out there that don’t suffocate you with humidity? These are known as dry infrared saunas, and they’re the latest spa technological advancement. With zero percent humidity and proven health benefits, these dry saunas (infrared saunas) are steadily increasing in popularity. Instead of the steamy heat that traditional saunas provide, dry infrared saunas use infrared radiant heat. This is a type of heat similar to that of sunlight or light bulbs: It doesn’t heat the air around you, only the surfaces in the sauna and your body. This makes the sauna experience much more comfortable for the average sauna-goer.
