Conventional saunas provide such health benefits as relief of pain and stiffness caused by arthritis. They also help induce sweating, which in turn allows toxins to be released through the skin. In addition, conventional saunas produce steam, which can help relieve respiratory congestion or other breathing problems such as bronchitis.

Infrared saunas don't give off steam, so are not as effective in providing relief of breathing problems as conventional saunas can be. However, infrared saunas are just as effective at causing sweating and at easing arthritis pain as conventional saunas are.

In addition, infrared radiation is purported to have distinctive healing properties that do not occur within traditional sauna use. Enthusiasts of infrared radiation, in addition, tout that this radiation penetrates deeply to the body's internal organs and martial tissues, so that toxins are released and the immune system is strengthened.

Some of these claims may be overly stated or exaggerated, and indeed, there isn't really any medical research to support these assertions yet. However, it is true that using a sauna can provide benefits for some medical conditions.

Beyond that they both help you to sweat. This helps to cleanse your body form the inside out. As a result you release toxins as mentioned which can help clear your skin and improve your immune system.

Infrared saunas might uniquely provide additional benefits because of their characteristics when compared to conventional saunas. Test one for yourself and see whether it's true. Infrared saunas are generally no more dangerous to use than other conventional saunas are. Take the same precautions you would when you use any type of sauna.
