The History of Saunas and the Evolution to Infrared Saunas
Saunas have been used for centuries as a way to relax, cleanse, and promote health. The practice dates back over 2,000 years to Finland, where the traditional sauna was born. Early saunas were simple, wood-heated rooms, where steam was created by throwing water over hot stones. These saunas became central to Finnish culture, offering both a place to unwind and a social gathering point. Over time, saunas spread across Europe and other parts of the world, becoming synonymous with relaxation and well-being.
As technology advanced, so did the sauna. Traditional saunas began to evolve, and in recent decades, infrared saunas have emerged as a modern take on this ancient practice. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light to directly heat the body, allowing for a deeper and more efficient sweat at lower temperatures. This makes them more accessible for those who may find the intense heat of a traditional sauna overwhelming.
Infrared saunas have gained popularity for their unique health benefits, including improved circulation, muscle recovery, detoxification, and even skin rejuvenation. By using infrared light, which penetrates deeper into the body, these saunas offer a more targeted approach to wellness, all while keeping the temperature at a more comfortable level.
