Should I try it?
You’re familiar with a sauna, right? Well, instead of sweating it out around hot coals, infrared sauna therapy uses light to warm the body via special heaters positioned to target your core. Also found in toasters and remote controls, infrared is a type of radiation that we can’t see (it sits just outside of the visible spectrum), but can feel as heat. We humans emit it (as seen on thermal imaging cameras) and it’s all around us – the biggest infrared heater of them all is the sun – but the good thing about infrared is it doesn’t radiate any harmful rays such as UVA. It’s just pure, sweat-inducing warmth and the heat can trigger many healing processes in the body, reduce stress, improve skin and just be a lovely thing to experience when the weather’s so unrelentingly British. As well as being used in the traditional cabin setting, stylish London fitness studios like Triyoga and Good Vibes offer yoga sessions where you can be bathed in infrared light. And the sauna version has a celeb following; fans include Jennifer Aniston.
