Infrared Saunas for Psoriasis Treatment

The use of infrared saunas for psoriasis treatment makes sense. Infra-red light penetrates the skin and induces 2 to 3 times the amount of sweating possible in a conventional sauna. Experts claim that the profuse sweating and increased blood circulation improves skin conditions related to psoriasis, acne, dermatitis and eczema. Other health benefits include pain relief, weight loss and detoxification of the entire body.

The benefits of infra-red light saunas are cumulative. It will take time to see and feel the effects of these beneficial rays and experience the improvement to your overall well-being. If you suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis or you want to relieve pain, strengthen your immune system and cardiovascular system, the regular use of infrared light saunas will make a real difference.

You may wonder if infrared light is safe to use for the treatment of psoriasis. Although the use of this technology in home saunas is relatively new, the answer is a resounding yes. Infra-red heat has been used by health professionals for decades. Even hospital maternity wards use the beneficial heat of infrared lights to keep newborns warm.



Radiant infra-red heat is similar to the heat from the sun without the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet light. Proponents of infrared saunas say that the benefits come from elevating the body’s temperature, similar to the body’s response in fighting a disease by inducing a fever. We encourage you to do further research into the health benefits of the infra-red sauna and how they relate to treating psoriasis and similar skin conditions.
