How the infrared cabin can help during the period

Every woman knows the problem: the period starts and with it comes many complaints. While some women experience no problems at all during menstruation, others have serious symptoms. From fatigue to pimples, to nausea and severe abdominal pain, everything can be encountered.

How good a little warmth and infrared light would do. But many women are ashamed to leave the house during their period and wonder whether it makes sense to go to the infrared cabin at all. In fact, the targeted heat offers several benefits especially to the suffering women, which will be shown in the following part.

1. Increased blood circulation by the warmth of the infrared cabin

Improved blood circulation is one of the main benefits of infrared cabins, as it increases the overall body temperature, thus stimulating blood flow, reducing pain and inflammation while improving muscle recovery. This is essential for your health, especially during menstruation as the cause of cramps and discomfort is due to muscle contractions as well as constricted blood vessels.

When the blood vessels open properly and the muscles relax, this can also help reduce the amount of prostaglandins that your body produces. This is the hormone that causes cramping and inflammation in the early stages of menstruation as a natural healing process / defense mechanism. Heat and infrared radiation can reduce the release of this hormone, and you will suffer less pain.

2. Elimination of toxins in the infrared cabin

One of the most natural ways to eliminate toxins is sweating. Infrared saunas heat you slowly, eliminating up to seven times more toxins than air-heated saunas. Because the infrared cabin heats the body slowly, you can benefit from the heat longer. In a regular sauna, the body heats up very quickly, and you don’t get to sweat for as long. For this reason, the infrared sauna is especially valuable for the menstruating body. Various substances (e.g. heavy metals or sulfates) are transported out of the interior with the sweat and thus do not represent a burden during the period.

3. Pain relief thanks to infrared cabin

One of the biggest complaints during menstruation is the amount of pain women are in. This pain is caused by cramps, muscle contractions as well as headaches and migraines due to the changes in hormone levels. Infrared saunas relieve these aches and pains by warming and soothing the muscles throughout your body. This allows you to relax while relieving the pain of menstruation. It also increases blood flow to move more concentrated oxygen that creates more energy to heal your body properly.

4. Better skin appearance by infrared cabin

Another annoying side effect of your period is those unruly pimple breakouts. During this time of the month, your skin is put to work due to the rising and falling hormone levels in your body. Using an infrared sauna improves skin tone, elasticity, clarity, and firmness. The expulsion of toxins along with the body’s ability to naturally sweat or open pores also provides a perfect opportunity to thoroughly cleanse the face after a warm session. Applying a nourishing mask is even more effective this way.

5. Mental relaxation and increase of cognitive function

The hormonal imbalances from your period can also affect your mental well-being. Rapid build up and drop in progestin levels can affect your serotonin levels in the brain, which can lead to anxiety, depression and general fatigue. Studies have shown that infrared cabins increase euphoric hormones while decreasing cortisol levels, your body’s main stress hormone. Infrared light stimulates blood flow similarly to cardio exercise, building up endorphins that are released in the brain.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using an infrared cabin during your period has several benefits. The targeted heat increases blood flow, relieves pain and muscle spasms, reduces inflammation, and can decrease the amount of hormones that cause pain. In addition, the heat affects mental well-being by promoting the release of euphoric hormones and lowering cortisol levels, which can lead to relaxation, stress reduction and an improvement in cognitive function. Overall, the infrared cabin can help relieve period discomfort and improve overall well-being.
