How to Maximize the Detox Benefits of Your Infrared Sauna Sessions

Blog Article

Sweating in a sauna may feel like self-care—and it is—but when done right, it’s also a powerful way to help your body detox. Infrared saunas go beyond just heat. They penetrate deeply into tissues to support cellular cleansing, circulation, and recovery. But to get the most from each session, a few simple habits can make all the difference.

Whether you’re already using one or shopping for your first JNH Lifestyles infrared sauna, here’s how to turn your sweat session into a full-body reboot.

1. Water First, Always

Drink at least 16 oz before your session. Add a pinch of sea salt or sip coconut water if you’re prone to dehydration. Hydration is what helps your body sweat, flush toxins, and feel energized after.
???? Pro tip: Avoid caffeine right before—it’s dehydrating.

2. Clean Slate = Clean Skin

Start with freshly washed, product-free skin. No lotions, deodorants, or makeup. This opens up your pores and helps sweat push toxins out, not trap them in. You can even try dry brushing beforehand for a gentle lymph boost.

3. Don’t Overdo the Heat

Detox doesn’t require max temps. 120–135°F is ideal for most people. Start slow—15–20 minutes—and increase as your body adapts. The goal is to sweat comfortably, not suffer through it.

4. Add Chromotherapy for Extra Impact

Color therapy is more than just aesthetics. Many JNH Lifestyles saunas include chromotherapy lighting, which may help reduce stress, improve mood, and support detox. Blue calms, green balances, and red stimulates circulation.⁴

5. Shower ASAP

The sweat you release is full of toxins—don’t leave it sitting on your skin. Rinse off with lukewarm water and a gentle, non-toxic soap. Bonus: a quick cool rinse can refresh circulation and close your pores.

6. Support Detox from the Inside Out

After your session, go for light, clean foods like greens, citrus, or bone broth. Avoid alcohol or processed snacks for a few hours. Your liver and kidneys are still working after you’ve stopped sweating.

7. Make It a Routine

Infrared sauna detox is most effective when done consistently. Aim for 3–5 sessions a week to maintain benefits like improved skin, better sleep, and reduced inflammation.⁷
