Cold Laser Pain Relief - Infrared Sauna

Very primitive saunas were dug into embankments, but later came to be built above ground in the style of a cabin. Today’s saunas come in different forms and sizes, and there are many different heating methods, including:

wet saunas
dry saunas
smoke saunas
steam saunas
infrared saunas

At COLD LASER PAIN RELIEF we have an infrared sauna. The benefits of infrared sauna are significant, as this system heats the body from within and produces the kind of profuse sweating normally only seen with traditional wet-dry sauna systems but at a far more comfortable temperature. These saunas really pack a punch in terms of an all over body therapy.

Our sauna is a single person sauna so your privacy is guaranteed.

We advise you to bring your own towel and a pair of slip-ons or thongs for your feet. Because you are alone in the sauna, so you can dress in whatever makes you feel comfortable, like bathers, shorts, tracksuit or underwear. You can read, listen to your music or just meditate. We also advise you take some water into the sauna and just enjoy the relaxing down time.

Sitting in a sauna and sweating feels good, but how does it help?

A recent study conducted by Dr. Joy Hussain found that using an infrared sauna resulted in different levels of toxins found in sweat compared to samples taken from exercising, here are the major takeaways:

The toxins examined were pesticides (organophosphates) and insect repellents (synthetic pyrethroids).
Sauna sweat had higher levels of pesticides, while exercise sweat had higher levels of insect repellents.
So detoxing in an infrared sauna seems to be more effective against pesticides while detoxing from exercise seems to be more effective against insect repellents.

This is interesting because while eating organic food can be challenging, avoiding non-organic repellent is much simpler.

When it comes to detoxing, minimising your toxic input is crucial and while you may not always be able to eat organically, using an infrared sauna will help you detox any unwanted pesticides in your system.
