Both steam and infrared saunas are fantastic methods of heat therapy with different mechanisms utilized to achieve the desired results. The main goal here is passively increasing circulation in the body. 

The incredible aspect of Infrared Saunas is that the heating source is infrared light (near, mid or far) which penetrates the skin, muscles and even into our cells. This raises our core body temperature to produce sweat to cool the body vs. our body strictly reacting to

the outside ambient air temperature of a dry sauna or steam. The more tolerable and comfortable temperature allows for longer session times.  That means IR saunas give your body more time experiencing a deep detoxifying sweat, more time your muscle and joints are receiving helpful infrared rays and more time your skin is being revitalized by the infrared light waves. 

Our Clearlight Full Spectrum Sanctuary Best Infrared Sauna La Jolla experience includes an iPad for your customized entertainment, medication, or music selection. We advise you to take electronics in the Sauna at an absolute minimum as they will get hot to the touch and may potentially cause burn if they are exposed to the heat for too long. We suggest to get your perferred show, music, or activity set up prior to starting your session. In our regular sized sauna, place the iPad in the heat safe box to the right of the door. In our XL Infrared Sauna, place the iPad positioned to your desired angle on the outside suction cup holder.

Being able to enjoy amenities like this is another key difference between the Best Infrared Sauna in La Jolla and traditional steam rooms.

As always, consult with a qualified medical professional before participating in any type of IR sauna, steam or Dry sauna session.
