Embrace the Summer Sweat: Why Infrared Saunas are Essential in the Summer, Too

As summer temperatures soar, it can be tempting to swap your infrared sauna sessions for a cold plunge. While cooling off might sound appealing, maintaining your infrared sauna routine during the warmer months has year-round benefits that should not be overlooked. In fact, infrared saunas in the summer can play a key role in helping you stay healthy, manage stress, and even improve your fitness regimen. Here’s why sweating it out in the heat can be a powerful tool for your well-being.

Heat Acclimation: Boost Your Body's Resilience

Using infrared saunas in the summer can help your body adapt to the heat, a process known as heat acclimation. When you expose your body to deliberate heat stress, your thermoregulation improves, allowing you to sweat more efficiently.

This adaptation can make those outdoor summer activities more enjoyable by enhancing your tolerance to the heat. Similar to how your body adjusts to exercise over time, regular infrared sauna use helps it manage heat better, which could make hot summer days feel less overwhelming.

Stay on Track with Your Wellness Routine

Maintaining your wellness routine during the summer can be challenging with vacations, kids at home, and spending more time with family and friends. However, studies show that having a flexible approach to your health and wellness goals can help you stay on track, even when life gets busy.

This might mean choosing a quick 25-minute sweat session instead of your usual 45-minute one, or bringing a visiting family member along for a session in one of our double suites. With our growing footprint, SweatHouz is ready to partner with you to stick with your mental and physical wellness regimen this summer.

Stress Management and Mental Clarity

Once you try a private SweatHouz infrared sauna suite experience, you’ll know that it offers the perfect escape to unwind and relax. The gentle heat helps relieve tension, soothe inflammation, and promote the release of endorphins—your body’s natural mood boosters.

Plus, a large cohort study from Finland suggests that adults who regularly used the sauna had better mental health – as in, lower incidence of anxiety and depression, and better stress management – than infrequent sauna users.

Support Your Skin's Summer Glow

A radiant complexion is always in season, and infrared saunas in the summer can help you achieve it. The infrared wavelengths promote collagen production and cellular regeneration, improving skin tone and texture over time. In addition, our en-suite Vitamin C showers will leave your skin rehydrated and refreshed, giving you that summer glow without needing to spend hours in the sun.

Weight Management and Energy Balance

It goes without saying that weight management is more complex than simply balancing calories in (food + diet) and calories out. Regularly engaging in healthy habits like physical activity, fueling yourself well, sleeping enough, and managing your stress all come into play. Spending time in the infrared sauna may also be one important component of your energy balance puzzle, as it is ‘energy expensive’ to expose yourself to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
While you relax in the infrared heat, your body is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and working to regulate your body temperature – and this translates to burning calories during and after your sauna session.
