Infrared vs. Traditional Saunas: Why More People Are Choosing Infrared for Wellness & Recovery

If you’ve ever stepped into a hot, steamy sauna and found yourself wondering “is this really helping?”—you’re not alone. While traditional saunas have been used for centuries, infrared saunas are quickly becoming the go-to for people who want deeper benefits with a more comfortable experience.

At Body English in Petaluma, we offer full-spectrum infrared sauna sessions designed for both recovery and relaxation. And now, with new sauna memberships and punchcards, it’s easier than ever to make them part of your routine.

What’s the Difference Between Infrared and Traditional Steam Saunas?

Steam saunas heat the air around you, often climbing to 180–200°F. The high humidity makes you sweat, but it can feel stifling—especially if you’re sensitive to heat.

Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use light waves to gently warm your body from the inside out. The air stays cooler (typically 120–140°F), but the internal heat is deeper and more effective for wellness purposes.

Why infrared is the better choice for most people:
