Why Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas Are Superior for Health, Wellness, and Recovery
At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we are committed to offering our clients the most effective and advanced therapies for health, wellness, and recovery. That's why we chose the Jacuzzi Clearlight Sanctuary 3 Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna—a top-of-the-line, full spectrum infrared sauna that goes beyond what traditional saunas and other infrared saunas can provide. If you're interested in a deep, science-backed approach to improving your health, here's why full spectrum infrared saunas are the superior option.
Understanding Infrared Saunas vs. Traditional Saunas
Traditional saunas use heat to warm the air around you, which in turn heats your body. This approach is effective but can feel intense, especially for those who are sensitive to high temperatures. Traditional saunas generally operate at temperatures between 170-195°F, causing you to sweat profusely as your body tries to cool down.
Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use infrared light to heat the body directly, without excessively heating the surrounding air. This means they operate at lower, more comfortable temperatures (typically between 110-150°F), yet they provide a deep, penetrating warmth. Infrared saunas are categorized into three types based on the spectrum of infrared wavelengths they emit:
- Far Infrared (FIR): Penetrates the outer layers of the skin, promoting relaxation, detoxification, and improved circulation.
- Mid Infrared (MIR): Reaches deeper layers of the skin and is more effective at reducing inflammation, aiding in pain relief and muscle recovery.
- Near Infrared (NIR): Penetrates the deepest, targeting cells, tissues, and even mitochondria to promote cellular health, wound healing, and skin rejuvenation.
Why Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas Are Superior
A full spectrum infrared sauna offers all three types of infrared wavelengths—far, mid, and near—in one sauna session. This provides a more comprehensive and effective treatment than saunas that only use far infrared. Let’s break down how each wavelength contributes to enhanced health and wellness.
1. Far Infrared (FIR) for Detoxification and Relaxation
Far infrared is excellent for detoxification because it helps the body eliminate toxins through sweating. The FIR wavelength heats the body gently, triggering a deep sweat that assists in removing heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins from the body.
- Detoxification: FIR increases the body's detoxification processes, removing substances like mercury, lead, and cadmium. Regular detoxing can help improve overall health, support immune function, and boost energy levels.
- Relaxation and Stress Relief: FIR has a calming effect, promoting relaxation by lowering cortisol levels (the body's primary stress hormone). Regular sessions can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
2. Mid Infrared (MIR) for Pain Relief and Circulation
Mid infrared wavelengths penetrate a bit deeper than far infrared, reaching muscles, joints, and soft tissues. This is especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or muscle recovery needs.
- Pain Relief: MIR helps reduce inflammation and alleviate pain by increasing circulation to injured or strained areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients that speed up healing.
- Improved Circulation: MIR stimulates blood flow, which supports cardiovascular health and helps with recovery after workouts. Enhanced circulation also aids in reducing stiffness, muscle tension, and joint pain.
3. Near Infrared (NIR) for Cellular Health and Skin Rejuvenation
Near infrared is the most penetrating wavelength, targeting cells at a molecular level and reaching the mitochondria. NIR wavelengths are responsible for promoting cellular health, which is crucial for whole-body wellness and vitality.
- Cellular Repair and Mitochondrial Function: NIR stimulates mitochondria, the energy producers in cells, enhancing ATP (energy) production. This boosts cell repair and regeneration, which can slow aging and improve overall cellular function.
- Skin Health and Wound Healing: NIR encourages collagen production, improving skin elasticity, tone, and texture. It also supports faster wound healing and tissue repair, making it excellent for skin rejuvenation and recovery from injuries.
Health Benefits of Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas
By combining FIR, MIR, and NIR wavelengths, full spectrum infrared saunas offer a range of health and wellness benefits that go beyond what a single-wavelength or traditional sauna can achieve.
1. Enhanced Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s primary methods of detoxification. The deep, penetrating heat of a full spectrum infrared sauna helps you sweat more effectively, removing toxins that have accumulated over time. This process not only boosts immunity but also contributes to higher energy levels and better mental clarity.
2. Faster Recovery and Reduced Inflammation
For those seeking relief from sore muscles, joint pain, or inflammation, full spectrum infrared saunas are ideal. The combination of MIR and FIR wavelengths improves blood flow, reduces muscle stiffness, and alleviates inflammation, helping you recover faster after workouts or injuries. This is particularly beneficial for athletes or those dealing with chronic pain conditions.
3. Cellular Health and Anti-Aging
The NIR wavelengths in full spectrum infrared saunas stimulate the mitochondria, helping cells repair and regenerate. This cellular activation not only supports anti-aging but also aids in faster wound healing, healthier skin, and improved overall vitality. The benefits extend to brain health as well, as healthier cells contribute to improved cognitive function.
4. Improved Circulation and Cardiovascular Health
Regular use of a full spectrum infrared sauna has been shown to improve circulation and support cardiovascular health. The heat helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach cells throughout the body. This process can reduce high blood pressure, increase endurance, and support heart health.
5. Enhanced Relaxation and Stress Reduction
Full spectrum infrared saunas provide a soothing, gentle heat that promotes relaxation. This environment helps to lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and create a feeling of well-being. Regular sessions can help with mental clarity, better sleep, and overall stress management.

Why Choose Full Spectrum Infrared Over Traditional or Far Infrared Only?
Choosing a full spectrum infrared sauna gives you the complete range of benefits—from deep detox and muscle recovery to cellular health and relaxation. Unlike traditional saunas, which primarily focus on surface-level sweating, full spectrum saunas penetrate deeper into tissues for more profound effects. And while far infrared-only saunas are beneficial, they lack the specific benefits provided by mid and near infrared wavelengths.
With full spectrum infrared therapy, you’re not just warming up the body; you’re engaging it at multiple levels, supporting both short-term relief and long-term wellness.
