(SALEM, Ore.) - It might be time to review your current self-care practice as winter draws near. Colder weather results in less time spent outdoors and less daylight, which may be quite stressful on the body and mind.

We started looking for at-home options to keep our limbs supple and head clear to detest the stagnation that our body truly feels in this winter season – Enter the Higher DOSE Infrared sauna mat.

A sauna mat or blanket has many health benefits, physical as well as mental health. It increases the thermal energy of the body through its adjustable heat technology, which has also been demonstrated to temporarily enhance blood flow.

This results in significant cleansing and a serotonin boost without having to go to the gym.

Infrared sauna mats are indeed trending on social media and the internet, but we've been curious: How do they compare to the real thing?

It can be difficult to grasp the concept that you might be able to recreate that experience anytime, anywhere with a relatively portable tool when you consider that the experience of a sauna (infrared or otherwise) has traditionally involved a trip to the spa or gym where you physically sit in a room for a prolonged period.

Do Sauna Mats really work?

These blankets have an impact on systemic cleansing and reestablishing physiological balance.

The skin and body can benefit from infrared sauna blankets in many ways, including improved complexion. Whether you're wrapped up in a blanket or a sauna cabin, infrared therapy generally provides beauty and wellness benefits.

Let's examine the benefits of this technology for your body and mind in more detail now that this is understood.

Body Detoxification

Although it may not sound very pleasant, excessive perspiration has a cleaning effect. Sweating is a fantastic approach to assist your body to rid itself of impurities.

Sweating is a common way for toxins like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury to be eliminated, and one study has found a connection between frequent sauna use and the normalization of mercury levels.

Skin Improvement properties

According to the skin perspective, the heat from the blanket opens up pores and produces sweating, which discharges toxins, bacteria, dead skin cells, and other pollutants.

The infrared sauna blankets mimic the effects of a light-to-moderate workout by increasing heart rate and improving circulation.

It should be emphasized that, unlike ultraviolet (UV) light, infrared light does not harm the skin. There is a low chance that using a sauna blanket can cause you to get cancer.

Your body may experience harmful effects from dehydration or unintentional thermal (heat) damage if the blanket's higher temperatures are unfamiliar to you.

Release Muscle ache

Muscle aches are soothed with sauna mats. Applying heat to an injury causes the blood vessels to enlarge, which increases blood flow. This aids in removing any lactic acid or other toxins still present in your muscles.

Benefits to Health & Well-being

We are all aware of the positive emotional and physical effects of saunas, and infrared saunas are no different. Other benefits of infrared sauna blankets include increased endorphin levels, reduced stress, and a better night's sleep. Three of the most notable mind-body advantages are listed below:
  • Mood Enhancement
    Heat therapy tells our brains to release feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin, endorphins, and dopamine." She recommends "stacking" wellness activities like meditation and breathwork with other relaxing activities like sauna time or time under a blanket for maximum benefit.
  • Pain Relief
    According to research, infrared sauna mats help lessen joint, nerve, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other types of pain in the muscles and other parts of the body. Infrared saunas can aid the body in healing by increasing blood circulation, especially when treating injured joints. It can also be utilized as a technique for recuperation. By improving blood flow and promoting muscle recovery, the infrared sauna is a fantastic method to unwind and soothe tight muscles after exercise.

Enjoy limitless therapeutic sweat sessions, now accessible from the convenience of your own home, and supported by medical advice on how to make the most of your sauna mat or blanket experience.
