Why Infrared Saunas Are Growing in Popularity (And Why We Offer Them)

Over the last few years, infrared saunas have exploded in popularity — and for good reason. From faster recovery to deeper relaxation, these modern saunas offer a unique experience that’s gentler on the body while still delivering powerful wellness benefits.
At Brickz Health & Wellness, we’ve seen firsthand how infrared heat can support healing, boost mood, and help clients feel better from the inside out. Whether you’re an athlete, someone managing chronic tension, or simply looking for a softer, more restorative sauna experience, infrared therapy is becoming a go-to choice.
Here’s why infrared saunas are quickly becoming one of the most sought-after wellness tools — and why we proudly offer them at
Brickz Wellness.
1. Infrared Heat Works Deep in the Body
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light wavelengths to gently warm the body from within.
This allows the heat to penetrate deeper into muscle tissue, fascia, and joints — without needing extremely high temperatures.
What this means for you:
- Less overwhelming heat
- More effective muscle relaxation
- Better circulation
- A deeper sense of calm
You get all the benefits of heat therapy, without feeling like you’re in scorching temperatures.
2. A More Comfortable Experience (Perfect for Beginners)
Traditional saunas typically reach 160–190°F, which can feel too intense for many people. Infrared saunas usually stay between 120–150°F — and because the heat penetrates deeper, the benefits remain strong.
People love infrared because it’s:
- Easier to tolerate
- Ideal for longer sessions
- Gentler on breathing
- Less likely to cause overheating
This makes infrared a great option for first-time sauna users or anyone sensitive to high heat.

3. Enhanced Detoxification
Infrared heat stimulates sweating at a deeper level, helping the body flush out toxins through the lymphatic system and skin.
Regular infrared sauna use supports:
- Improved metabolic function
- Better skin clarity
- Reduced inflammation
- More efficient detox processes
It’s a natural way to help your body reset and restore balance.
4. Popular for Weight Loss & Metabolism Support
One of the top Google searches related to infrared saunas is:
“Does an infrared sauna help with weight loss?”
While no sauna replaces a healthy diet and exercise, infrared heat can support:
- Increased calorie burn
- Balanced cortisol levels
- Reduced water retention
- Improved metabolic rate
When combined with regular movement and hydration, it adds another tool to your wellness routine.

5. Muscle Recovery + Pain Relief
Athletes and active individuals love infrared saunas because the deep-tissue heat helps:
- Reduce muscle soreness
- Improve range of motion
- Increase blood flow
- Ease joint stiffness
- Support injury recovery
That’s why infrared therapy pairs beautifully with
bodywork, massage, cold plunge, and compression therapy — all available here at
Brickz Wellness.
6. Mental Health Benefits
Infrared saunas don’t just help the body — they help the mind too.
Clients report:
- Lower stress
- Improved sleep
- Reduced anxiety
- Better overall mood
The warm, calming environment creates a peaceful escape from daily stressors, giving your nervous system time to reset.
