Heating Solutions Under One Roof

The main difference between an infrared sauna vs a traditional sauna results in the temperature and heating method. Traditional Saunas heat the air to high temperatures creating a hot environment, using heated rocks or a fireplace/ stove to creating humidity in the air, while infrared saunas use infrared light to heat the body directly operating at a lower temperature without significantly heating the surrounding air. Infrared is considered to be a dry sauna leading to a more customisable experience.

Our traditional saunas come with built-in vents, eliminating the need for additional ventilation. Infrared is referenced as a dry sauna, which does not need ventilation.

Taking an ice bath lowers your body temperature and triggers more blood flow to your core. After an ice bath, your body temperature rises, and blood flow returns to your tissues. Ice baths may help improve alertness, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation.

Sauna use offers numerous potential health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, relaxation, reduced stress, pain relief, and even potential benefits for skin and immune function. Here's a more detailed look at some of the benefits: Cardiovascular Health: Improved Circulation: Saunas increase heart rate and blood flow, which can improve circulation and potentially reduce blood pressure. Reduced Blood Pressure: Studies indicate that sauna use may be associated with lower blood pressure and reduced risks of high blood pressure. Enhanced Heart Function: The heat exposure in a sauna can help blood vessels expand, improving circulation and potentially enhancing heart function. Mental Health and Relaxation: Stress Reduction: The heat of a sauna can help relax muscles and promote a sense of calm, leading to reduced stress levels. Improved Sleep: Relaxation experienced in a sauna may contribute to improved sleep quality. Pain Relief: Saunas can help ease pain and discomfort. Other Benefits: Skin Health: Increased blood flow to the skin can improve its elasticity and reduce symptoms of conditions like psoriasis. Immune Function: Sauna use may boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells. Detoxification: Sweating in a sauna can help remove toxins and pollutants from the body through the skin. Muscle Recovery: Saunas can help with post-exercise recovery and relieve muscle and joint pain
