How Does an Infrared Sauna Work at The DRIPBaR Crofton? 

The infrared sauna at The DRIPBaR Crofton works by using infrared heaters to emit radiant heat that is absorbed by the skin and penetrates deep into the body, providing a range of health benefits.

In an infrared sauna, the heaters emit infrared radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation that closely resembles the heat emitted by the sun.

When you sit inside an infrared sauna, your body absorbs this radiation, which deeply penetrates the skin and generates internal heat. As a result, sweating occurs, aiding in the elimination of toxins and impurities from the body.

Compared to traditional saunas, infrared saunas typically function at lower temperatures, typically ranging from 120°F to 150°F. This lower temperature range may be more comfortable for individuals who find traditional saunas excessively hot or uncomfortable.
