At Assuage, we bring you the latest in Infrared Sauna Therapy, a cutting-edge approach to detoxification, pain relief and relaxation that goes beyond traditional saunas. Unlike conventional steam saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use far-infrared light waves to deeply penetrate muscle tissue, joints and skin, delivering therapeutic heat at a cellular level. This allows your body to sweat out heavy metals, toxins, improve circulation and experience profound relaxation—all at a more comfortable and tolerable temperature.
Infrared Sauna
Deep detoxification: By heating the body from the inside out, infrared saunas help clear out toxins which can be difficult for the body to eliminate on its own.
Muscle recovery: The heat increases blood circulation, which helps soothe sore muscles and speed up recovery after a workout.
Stress relief & relaxation: The gentle warmth helps balance cortisol levels, leaving you feeling calm and refreshed.
Skin rejuvenation: Increased circulation and sweating help clear pores and promote a healthy, natural glow.
Heart health: Regular sessions provide a passive cardiovascular workout, as the body works to cool itself down.
Key benefits to infrared saunas

Not to be confused with UV and other potentially harmful rays, infrared heat is safe and healing -so safe in fact that it is used by hospitals to keep newborns warm in humidicribs. Infrared rays are easily absorbed and penetrate the body deeply, stimulating the lymphatic, immune and cardiovascular systems and helping to eliminate any harmful toxins that may have built up inside the body.
