Infrared Sauna Therapy in Eau Claire
Heal From the Inside Out with Infrared Sauna Therapy
Far infrared heat penetrates deeper than traditional saunas for detoxification, pain relief, improved circulation, and weight loss support
What Is Infrared Sauna Therapy?
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, our infrared sauna uses far infrared rays—a natural wavelength from the sun—to heat your body directly from the core out. This means deeper therapeutic benefits at lower, more comfortable temperatures.
Far infrared rays penetrate up to 1.5 inches below your skin, reaching muscles, tissues, and joints to promote healing at a cellular level. The same wavelength your body naturally produces and absorbs from sunlight, now concentrated in a controlled therapeutic environment.
Each session supports detoxification, circulation, pain relief, skin health, and metabolic function—all while you relax in a peaceful, private space.

How Infrared Sauna Works
The Science Behind Far Infrared Heat
Far infrared rays work differently than conventional heat. Instead of heating the air, they penetrate your skin and warm you from the inside out, creating therapeutic effects throughout your body:
Cellular revitalization - Far infrared energy activates cellular metabolism and repair
Deep detoxification - Heat mobilizes stored toxins in fat cells, releasing them through sweat
Improved circulation - Blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow to muscles and organs
Pain relief - Deep heat reduces inflammation and promotes healing in joints and tissues
Metabolic boost - Your body burns calories to cool itself, similar to moderate exercise
Skin rejuvenation - Increased circulation and sweating clear pores and improve skin tone
What to Expect During Your Session
You'll have a private sauna room for your 30-60 minute session. Here's what we provide:
Robes and towels
Makeup remover
Filtered water for hydration
Chromotherapy (color therapy) lighting for enhanced relaxation
Private, peaceful environmentThe sauna heats gradually to a comfortable temperature (typically lower than traditional saunas). You'll start sweating within 10-15 minutes as the infrared rays penetrate your body. Many people find this more comfortable than traditional high-heat saunas.
Pro tip: Hydrate well before your session. If you're not sweating, you're likely not drinking enough water beforehand.

What Makes Our Infrared Sauna Different
Far Infrared Technology, Not Just Heat
Our sauna uses far infrared red light therapy specifically—not near infrared or mid infrared. Far infrared penetrates deepest into your body for maximum therapeutic benefits while remaining comfortable and breathable.
Chromotherapy Enhancement
Each session includes chromotherapy (color therapy) lighting. Different colors support different healing intentions—calming blues for relaxation, energizing reds for vitality, balancing greens for renewal.
Private, Peaceful Sessions
Your sauna session is completely private. No shared spaces, no distractions—just you, the heat, and your healing time.

New to sauna therapy? Start with 30-minute sessions and gradually increase to 60 minutes as your body adapts. Some people prefer shorter, more frequent sessions; others love a full hour of deep heat therapy.
Our membership programs make regular sessions affordable and easy to maintain.
-
A 40-minute session can burn up to 600 calories—equivalent to a 3-mile walk. Your body works to cool itself, similar to moderate cardiovascular exercise. However, infrared sauna is best used as a complement to healthy eating and exercise, not a replacement.
-
Most people wear swimwear or workout clothing, or go nude—whatever feels comfortable to you. Your session is completely private. We provide robes and towels.
-
We recommend showering after your session to rinse off the toxins released through sweat. Some people prefer a quick rinse before as well. It's entirely your preference.
-
Infrared sauna can actually help reduce blood pressure by improving circulation and dilating blood vessels. However, if you have cardiovascular concerns, check with your doctor before starting sauna therapy. We recommend starting with shorter sessions at lower temperatures.
-
We recommend avoiding sauna therapy during pregnancy due to elevated core body temperature. Postpartum sauna use is generally safe and beneficial.
-
Lack of sweating usually indicates dehydration. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your session. As you use the sauna regularly, your body becomes more efficient at sweating and detoxifying.
-
Traditional saunas heat the air to very high temperatures (often 180-200°F), which can feel oppressive. Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures (typically 120-150°F) while delivering deeper therapeutic heat that penetrates tissues rather than just heating your skin surface. Many people who can't tolerate traditional saunas love infrared therapy.
-
Yes, you can bring entertainment if you'd like. Many people use the time to meditate, listen to podcasts, or simply relax. The choice is yours.
-
Rehydrate immediately with water or electrolyte drinks. Some people feel energized; others feel deeply relaxed. Listen to your body and plan accordingly. The detox effects continue for hours after your session as your body processes and eliminates mobilized toxins.
