Infrared Sauna

About Sauna Therapy at Total Health

Sauna therapy is a cutting-edge wellness treatment that uses infrared light to generate heat, offering deep, therapeutic benefits without the extreme temperatures of a traditional sauna. At Total Health, our infrared sauna sessions provide a relaxing and effective way to promote detoxification, improve circulation, and support overall well-being.

Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light waves to penetrate the skin and warm the body from within. This gentle yet powerful heat helps stimulate deep sweating, allowing the body to eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and impurities more efficiently. Many individuals turn to infrared sauna therapy to support detoxification, enhance recovery, and reduce inflammation.

Infrared heat is also known to promote muscle relaxation, relieve joint pain, and support cardiovascular health. By increasing circulation and oxygen flow, infrared sauna therapy may help alleviate conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and muscle stiffness. Additionally, it has been shown to boost metabolism, support weight management, and improve skin tone by enhancing collagen production.

Conditions We Treat

Anxiety and Stress

Infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation by releasing endorphins, which can help reduce anxiety and stress. The soothing heat encourages deep muscle relaxation and enhances blood circulation, which can help calm the nervous system and improve overall mental well-being.

Muscle Pains

The infrared heat increases circulation and reduces muscle tension, providing significant relief for muscle pain, spasms, and stiffness. By promoting oxygen flow to the muscles, infrared sauna therapy can speed up recovery and reduce soreness from overexertion or injury.

Headaches & Migraines

By improving blood circulation and reducing muscle tension, infrared sauna therapy can help decrease headache frequency and severity. The soothing heat also promotes relaxation, reducing stress—a common trigger for migraines.
