How to Maximize the Detox Benefits of Your Infrared Sauna Sessions
Blog Article
Infrared saunas are a powerful tool for detoxification, helping the body eliminate toxins through deep, penetrating heat. But did you know that with just a few intentional adjustments, you can supercharge your detox results?
Whether you’re a seasoned sauna user or new to at-home wellness, this guide will help you get the most out of each session—and ensure you’re truly sweating smart.
???? 1. Hydrate Before and After
Sweating pulls water from your body—along with toxins. To safely and effectively detox, drink plenty of water before, during, and after your sauna. Add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of electrolyte mix to support mineral balance.
Tip: Coconut water is a great natural electrolyte source!
???? 2. Time Your Sessions Wisely
Aim for 20–40 minutes per session, 3–5 times per week. Start slow and increase frequency as your body adapts. Consistency is key for long-term detox benefits.
Bonus: Use your sauna in the evening to help wind down and prepare for better sleep.
???? 3. Dry Brush Before You Sweat
Dry brushing stimulates lymphatic flow and exfoliates the skin, opening pores for deeper detoxification.
Brush in upward strokes toward your heart before entering your JNH Lifestyles sauna to help prime your skin and lymph system.
????♀️ 4. Use Full-Spectrum Heat for Deeper Detox
For the most thorough detox experience, choose a full-spectrum infrared sauna. These units deliver near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths, reaching multiple layers of tissue and enhancing sweat volume.
JNH Lifestyles offers full-spectrum models like the Tosi™ Collection—designed for maximum therapeutic impact.
???? 5. Support Detox with Healthy Habits
Infrared therapy is more effective when paired with clean living. Focus on:
Clean eating (especially whole, organic foods)
Daily hydration
Limiting alcohol and processed food
Restorative sleep
Light physical activity
Your body detoxes better when your lifestyle supports it.
???? 6. Cleanse Post-Sauna (Don’t Skip This!)
After a good sweat, rinse off immediately to remove toxins from your skin before they reabsorb. Use a gentle, natural soap and avoid heavy lotions that could clog pores.
???? 7. Enhance with Extras: Chromotherapy & Sound
Mood and detox are deeply connected. Add chromotherapy (light therapy) and calming music during your session to support parasympathetic (rest and digest) activation—ideal for detoxing.
JNH Lifestyles saunas come equipped with medical-grade chromotherapy and Bluetooth audio systems to create a relaxing, holistic detox environment.
