Want to know some real infrared sauna benefits? You\’ve probably read all the hype-y stuff out there already – miracle weight loss – look 20 years younger – detoxification – pain vanishing, etc.

There may be a lot of truth behind these claims. After all, infrared heat can penetrate deeper than regular sauna heat and it has been found that the sweat of people after a FIR sauna session contain more toxins than the sweat of those after a regular sauna session.

However you probably know all that already. What are some real infrared sauna benefits from actual users?

Well, I\’m not an expert by any means. But I am a regular infrared sauna user. And I spend a lot of time – hours, days, weeks, researching saunas before I bought mine. (I even started a website from all the research I did!).

So with that in mind, here are 3 health benefits that I have personally noticed from regular use of my home infrared sauna:

#1 Better Sleep

This may not seem like a big deal, but trust me, if you\’ve ever suffered from insomnia like I did, it\’s huge. I noticed that after my nightly sauna sessions, I would sleep like a baby. Deep, relaxing sleep – not the wake-up-every-hour kind of sleep I was used to having.

Also, when I did wake up in the morning I felt light and happy – kind of like you do when you wake up on a really sunny spring morning. I felt this way even in the dead of winter.

I don\’t really know why the sauna had this effect – maybe it was something to do with the detoxification effects. But I\’m not complaining.

#2 I Can Eat More

I know, you expected me to say I lost weight? Well, I did lose a few pounds at the start. But I didn\’t lose 50 pounds and miraculously wake up one day with the body of a super model from my sauna.

Sorry, it just didn\’t happen (I wish!). However one thing that did happen was that I noticed I was hungry more – a lot more. I figured that was my body\’s way of telling me it had burned more calories – so I did end up eating more. And I didn\’t gain a pound.

This was cool. I didn\’t have to sit at dinner and eat my nightly salad while my husband chowed down on steak, potatoes and chocolate cake for dessert.

I could actually eat like I used to in high school. And not have to worry that my jeans would be too tight in the morning.

Now don\’t get me wrong – I still watch what I eat. I\’m not into the Ben and Jerry\’s every night, topped off with Cheetos and a Big Gulp Cherry Coke. But anything that lets me eat my treats and not gain weight (without spending hours in the gym) is a very good thing.

#3 Better Skin

This happened for both me and my husband. We both noticed that our facial skin seemed tighter and clearer after about 2 weeks of regular sauna sessions.

My husband\’s did especially (he sat in the sauna for longer and sweat more than I did, which might explain this). This has definitely helped us both look younger. In fact people started asking him what supplements he was taking after just a few weeks of sauna sessions!

So those are 3 of the main health benefits of infrared saunas that I personally have noticed. I\’m sure that many other people have different experiences but hopefully these can give you some perspective on what to expect if you\’re considering getting an infrared sauna for your home.
