What is the best temperature setting for my infrared sauna?

For Relaxation and Stress Relief (100°F to 120°F)

If your primary goal is to relax and unwind, a lower temperature setting between 100°F and 120°F is ideal. At this range, the gentle heat helps to soothe muscles, calm the mind, and promote a sense of relaxation. This is also a good starting point for beginners who are not yet accustomed to the intensity of higher temperatures.

For Detoxification (120°F to 140°F)

Detoxification is one of the most popular reasons for using an infrared sauna. To optimize detoxification, a temperature setting between 120°F and 140°F is recommended. This range is high enough to induce a deep sweat, which helps the body eliminate toxins through the skin. Many users find this range to be the sweet spot for balancing comfort and effective detoxification.

For Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Benefits (140°F to 150°F)

If your goal is to enhance weight loss and improve cardiovascular health, a higher temperature setting between 140°F and 150°F may be more effective. At these temperatures, your heart rate increases, and your body works harder to cool itself down, similar to the effects of light exercise. This can lead to an increased calorie burn and improved cardiovascular conditioning. However, it’s important to be cautious and listen to your body, as higher temperatures can be more intense.
