INFRARED SAUNA
The ultimate detox experience
What is an Infrared Sauna?
Infrared saunas are an effective tool for natural healing, anti-ageing and prevention of a multitude of ailments. The heat and light of the sauna helps the body to release toxins such as environmental chemicals, allowing the body to restore, rebalance and rejuvenate.
Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead, they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly. Infrared induces sweating at a cellular level, stimulating the body the same way as a cardio workout does, releasing toxins that are deep inside.
Infrared saunas work on a cellular level and penetrate human tissue and raise the bodies core temperature, helping the body to detoxify. Traditional saunas heat the air and the internal cabin which causes your body to sweat as a natural mechanism to cool down. Studies have shown that in traditional saunas people sweat out 97% water and 3% toxins, while for infrared saunas, it’s 80% water and 20% toxins.
There are no side effects, no having to breathe in hot air, no claustrophobia, and no breathing in chlorine or mould from the steam if using a steam room. Infrared saunas are safe to use everyday.

Frequently asked questions
What does a sauna session look like?
You arrive at SOUL Wellness Hub, and will be greeted at the front desk, our member of staff who will show you downstairs to the the sauna room, and explain the process. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing; typically people wear swimwear, or a towel wrapped around the body, or sauna in the nude. We are pro individual choice and zero judegment space, and whichever way you feel comfortable is the right way for you. You must always sit on a towel in the saun though for hygine reasons. We do suggest that any swimware is not restricting and is made from breathable fabrics. After your session you shower, and then you can relax in our café and lounge area located on the middle floor.
How long does a session last?
You have an hour slot for your session. Infrared sauna sessions are typically between 30- and 45-minutes depending on your needs, with 15 mins to change and shower. Please bring some water to keep your self hydrated. And it is recommended to take a brief cold shower every 15 minutes.
What is the science around infrared saunas?
There are many studies showing the health benefits of infrared saunas. A major Finnish study found that using a sauna 2-3 times per week gives a 24% drop in all cause mortality. And doing it 4-7 times per week reduced your chances of premature death by 40%.
Studies have shown that in traditional saunas people sweat out 97% water and 3% toxins, while for far infrared saunas, it’s 80% water and 20% toxins.
An arthritis study showed a reduction in pain in 100% of study participants.
A study on chronic fatigue found they are more effective than any drugs. there have been cancer studys showing that tumors shrunk by 86% in just 30 days.
A heart study found it lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 58%.
A depression study found just 1 sauna reduced depression for 6 weeks.
A diabetes study found a 31% drop in insulin, and lower blood sugar levels. A brain health study found that taking an infrared sauna 4-7 times per week reduced the incidence of dementia by 66% and Alzheimer’s by 65%.
It has bene found found that infrared saunas specifically cause the death of fat cells. Many of the toxins that are stored in our fat cells are obesogens, and they increase fat cell numbers, enlarge fat cells, and interfere with appetite. When the fat cells are targeted with far infrared, the obesogens are released through sweating, and you can experience dramatic weight loss benefits.
