Combining Infrared Sauna With Aromatherapy For Pain

The number one reason people use our infrared saunas is for pain management as they have been shown to provide natural, gentle relief.

Regular sauna use can increase blood circulation which helps to move oxygen-rich blood throughout the body and into the muscles and joints. This aids our body in reducing inflammation in painful areas. Many people also use our saunas as an effective way to de-stress and relax. Adding essential oils not only enhances your sauna experience (also setting you up for better sleep) but the sauna also creates an environment that enables essential oils to penetrate the skin more effectively.
