Infrared saunas are more than just a relaxing heat escape—they’re one of the most effective tools for full-body detox in a home wellness routine. But are you getting the most out of every sweat session?
By optimizing your infrared sauna habits, you can enhance detoxification, improve recovery, and support long-term health—all without stepping foot outside your home.
Whether you’re a first-time user or a seasoned sauna-goer, here’s how to turn your infrared sessions into powerful, body-cleansing rituals.
1. Hydrate Deeply, Before and After
Sweating is how your body releases toxins—but it also flushes out fluids. Hydration isn’t optional; it’s essential.
Try this:
Drink at least 16 oz of filtered water before your session
Add a pinch of Himalayan salt or electrolytes to replenish minerals
Sip herbal teas post-session to support lymph flow
2. Time It Right
Aim for 20–40 minutes depending on your tolerance. Start small, then build up.
Tip: Detox is strongest when your body is in “rest and digest” mode, so avoid heavy meals beforehand and try to schedule sessions post-workout or in the evening.
3. Choose Full-Spectrum Infrared for Deeper Detox
Far-infrared heat penetrates the skin more deeply than traditional steam, helping to release toxins stored in fat cells. Even better? Full-spectrum saunas use near, mid, and far wavelengths for layered detox benefits.
JNH Lifestyles offers high-quality full-spectrum infrared saunas designed for home use—with Canadian Hemlock wood, ultra-low EMF output, and medical-grade light therapy.
4. Use Dry Brushing to Stimulate Detox Pathways
Before stepping into your sauna, try dry brushing your skin in long strokes toward your heart. This helps unclog pores and stimulates lymphatic drainage, enhancing the release of toxins through sweat.
5. Support Detox With Whole Foods
The best sauna results come when you pair them with clean nutrition.
Focus on:
Antioxidant-rich fruits (like blueberries and pomegranate)
Liver-supportive veggies (broccoli, kale, beets)
Water, herbal teas, and mineral-rich broths
Avoid processed sugar, alcohol, and heavy fats on sauna days. They burden your detox organs.¹
6. Shower Immediately After
Sweat carries toxins to the surface of your skin. Rinsing off right away helps prevent reabsorption.
Use natural soaps and lukewarm water to close the pores gently.
7. Rest, Replenish, Repeat
Post-sauna recovery is just as important as the sweat session. Replenish with electrolytes, eat a light meal, and rest well.
Sleep is when your body completes the detox process. Try winding down with magnesium or herbal teas to enhance recovery.
