Steam vs. Infrared Sauna: What’s Better for Your Health?

Рет қаралды 124,159

Жыл бұрын

Sauna bathing is an ancient practice that dates back thousands of years. The traditional steam sauna has been a part of Finnish culture for at least 2,000 years, and possibly even longer. Infrared saunas, on the other hand, are a relatively modern innovation that have been around for several decades and started gaining popularity in the United States in the 1980s and 90s.
While sauna bathing has several scientifically-proven health benefits, sauna enthusiasts often debate whether traditional steam saunas or infrared saunas are more effective.
I’m a huge fan of intentional heat exposure and own both a full-spectrum infrared sauna and a steam sauna, so I figured it was time to compare both sauna types side by side based on scientific evidence and my hands-on experience.
If you’re looking to add a sauna to your home but are undecided about whether a steam or infrared sauna is best, watch this video so you can make an informed decision.

Brilliant video. I have been regularly using both dry and IFR saunas for about a decade now. Dry sauna is better for relaxation, overall mood, and moderately good for a host of other things. Nothing compares to my small IFR sauna though. I sweat about 4x as much in an IFR sauna after 35 minutes than in a dry sauna and feel AMAZING after. Key point: Always cold plunge/cold shower after, makes it even more beneficial.

Thank you for the great content! I see your IR sauna has a cover on it. Is it an "indoor" model that you're protecting from the elements with the cover or an "outdoor" model and you're just doubling up weather protection? I've seen indoor models with features I like but I'm interested in placing it next to my house where it would be exposed to rain. Suggestions?

@MichaelKummer Ай бұрын

It's an outdoor model, but Sunlighten has the speakers and amps under the ceiling, so you need a cover. If you have an overhang or porch, you don't need the slip-on cover, but ours is in the open.

You are more likely to get sick. When someone is sick opens that door, coughs or sneezes in or near a steam sauna, those pathogens will get carried into the air more efficiently and you can get sick. Also, hot air doesn’t necessarily kill pathogens.

I don't know why there aren't more studies done other than the general acceptance that heat stress from IR is the same as heat stress from hot air. But you can conduct those tests yourself. Just find a local gym that has an IR sauna and use a chest strap to measure your heart rate during the sauna session. You could even get a HGH test done after sauna bathing via Quest or Labcorp. Not that I think about it, I might just do that.

That's why you can lose weight by eating more calories of meat than what your body needs (as an example).
