According to the Mayo Clinic Research, Infrared Sauna has many proven benefits, including weight loss due to the cardiovascular effects of increasing heart rate, high blood pressure, heart failure, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, headache, type 2 diabetes, and arthritis. Infrared Saunas don't have to be at high temperatures to get the most benefit. Sweating during your sauna session releases toxins from your body and is great for your skin.
