If you’re stepping into an infrared sauna for that deep, satisfying sweat—you’re already on the right track. But what if you could turn each session into a powerful detox ritual that clears your system and boosts your overall wellness?
Whether you’re a daily sauna user or just getting started, here’s how to elevate your routine and truly maximize the detox potential of every session. Bonus: we’ll also share why JNH Lifestyles is a top choice for home infrared saunas.
1. Sweat Smarter, Not Just Harder
Infrared saunas work by heating your body directly—not just the air around you. This means a deeper sweat at a lower temperature, ideal for flushing out heavy metals and environmental toxins.¹
Pro tip: Start with shorter 15–20 minute sessions, and gradually increase as your body adapts. Consistency is more important than duration.
2. Hydrate Like It’s Your Job
Think of your sauna like a workout for your detox system. You lose fluids fast—so replacing them is crucial.
Drink filtered water before and after
Add trace minerals or electrolyte drops to enhance absorption
Avoid caffeine or alcohol beforehand, which dehydrate you
3. Upgrade to Full-Spectrum Infrared
Not all infrared saunas are created equal. Full-spectrum saunas deliver near, mid, and far-infrared wavelengths, each targeting different layers of the body for maximum detox, skin benefits, and circulation.²
JNH Lifestyles offers beautifully designed, full-spectrum infrared saunas built with Canadian Hemlock wood and ultra-low EMF heaters—ideal for at-home wellness.
4. Dry Brush Before You Sweat
Dry brushing before your session stimulates your lymphatic system and exfoliates your skin—helping open pores for a deeper detox.
Use a natural bristle brush in long, sweeping motions toward your heart. Just a few minutes makes a noticeable difference.
5. Fuel Your Detox With Whole Foods
Your sauna is only half the equation—your diet plays a huge role in how well your body processes toxins. Focus on:
Leafy greens, berries, and citrus
Cruciferous veggies like broccoli and kale
Plenty of clean water
Avoid ultra-processed foods and sugar, especially on sauna days.³
6. Cool Down Wisely
After your session, take a cool (not freezing) shower to rinse off sweat and close your pores. Use gentle, non-toxic soaps so you don’t reintroduce chemicals to clean skin.
Bonus: Cold exposure can stimulate circulation and support immune resilience.
7. Prioritize Rest and Replenishment
Detoxing can be draining. Give yourself time to rest after your session and make sleep a priority that night.
A post-sauna nap or a calming bedtime routine (magnesium, herbal tea, low lights) helps your body repair and recover.
