The health benefits of the infrared cabin

Infrared cabins go far beyond traditional heat therapies. They offer a wealth of benefits that promote both physical and mental well-being. By gently raising body temperature, they improve circulation and oxygenation, which is essential for optimal body function.

  • Increased blood circulation and oxygen supply: The deep heat of the infrared cabin promotes blood circulation and increases the oxygen supply to the tissue. This supports cell regeneration and contributes to faster healing of injuries.
  • Relief from muscle tension: The heat penetrates deep into the muscles and helps to relax and reduce muscle soreness and stiffness. This is particularly beneficial after intensive training sessions or chronic muscle pain.
  • Improving skin health: The gentle heat helps to cleanse the pores, resulting in a fresher, more youthful complexion.
  • Support for chronic conditions: Many users report relief from chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other inflammatory processes.
  • Strengthening concentration and memory: In addition to the physical benefits, regular use of an infrared cabin also has positive effects on mental performance. The improved blood circulation and oxygen supply to the brain can improve concentration and memory.
  • Relaxation and stress reduction: The infrared cabin offers a break from everyday life. The warmth and tranquility can help to reduce stress and increase general well-being.

Preventive measures against fall and winter illnesses

With the onset of the colder months, the risk of seasonal illnesses also increases. This is where the infrared cabin can play an important role in prevention. Its ability to strengthen the immune system makes it an effective weapon against the increased incidence of bacteria and viruses.

  • Strengthening the immune system: The heat of the infrared cabin stimulates the production of white blood cells, which play a central role in immune defense. This strengthens the body’s resistance to colds and flu.
  • Increase in body temperature: The gentle warming of the body in the sauna imitates an artificial fever, a natural defense mechanism of the body. This process helps to fight pathogens more effectively.
  • Stress reduction: Stress is a known factor that can weaken the immune system. The relaxing effect of the infrared cabin helps to reduce stress and thus indirectly supports the immune system.
  • Improving sleep quality: Regular sauna sessions enable deeper and more restful sleep. Good sleep is essential for maintaining a strong immune system.
  • Regular use: To achieve optimum results, it is advisable to use the infrared cabin regularly. This not only prevents seasonal illnesses, but also promotes general well-being.

If you incorporate the infrared cabin into your routine, you can effectively arm yourself against the typical fall and winter illnesses and survive the cold season healthier and more resilient.

Using the infrared cabin for acute illnesses

The infrared cabin is known for its numerous health benefits. However, caution is advised in the case of acute illnesses such as feverish colds or flu-like infections. In such cases, it is advisable to postpone your visit to the sauna to avoid aggravating the symptoms.

  • Avoid going to the sauna if you have a fever: If you have a fever or an acute infection, the additional heat load in the sauna can overtax the body and worsen the symptoms of the illness.
  • Risk of dehydration: Illnesses are often accompanied by an increased need for fluids. The sauna increases sweat production and can therefore lead to dehydration, which can be particularly dangerous during illness.
  • Risk of infection: In communal facilities such as public saunas, there is also a risk of infecting other people.

As soon as the acute symptoms have subsided, the infrared cabin can be used again.

Conclusion:

The infrared cabin is an effective way to naturally strengthen the immune system and protect against bacteria and viruses. While it should be avoided for acute illnesses, it is an effective way to prevent health problems.
