Detoxing doesn’t have to mean juice cleanses or fad diets. Sometimes, all it takes is stepping into the warmth of an infrared sauna. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared models heat your body directly—triggering a deep, therapeutic sweat that helps flush out toxins, improve circulation, and boost overall wellness.
Ready to sweat smarter? Here’s how to make every infrared sauna session count—especially when using a high-quality system like JNH Lifestyles.
1. Hydrate Like You Mean It
Before you even step in, drink a full glass of water. Keep a bottle nearby and sip throughout your session. Post-sauna? Rehydrate with something mineral-rich like coconut water or an electrolyte drink.
Why: Proper hydration helps your body sweat more effectively and supports healthy kidney and liver function—key players in detox.
2. Don’t Overstay Your Welcome
Start with 10–15 minutes if you’re new, and build up to 30–40 minutes as your body adapts. Overdoing it can leave you feeling drained instead of refreshed.
Pro tip: Listen to your body. If you feel dizzy or overly fatigued, end your session and hydrate.
3. Sweat, Shower, Repeat
That sweat you’re producing is loaded with toxins. Don’t let it sit on your skin too long—hop into a cool shower afterward to rinse off and refresh.
Bonus: Use a gentle brush or loofah to exfoliate before and after. This opens pores and helps your skin detox more efficiently.
4. Time It Right
Many people swear by an evening session to unwind and sleep better. Others love the morning sweat to kickstart metabolism. Try both and see what feels best for your body.
5. Eat Clean to Detox Better
Fueling your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods—like greens, berries, and healthy fats—before and after your session enhances the detox effect.
Avoid: Processed foods and heavy meals before your sauna time.
6. Upgrade Your Setup
All detox isn’t created equal. Full-spectrum infrared saunas (like the ones from JNH Lifestyles) use near, mid, and far-infrared wavelengths to penetrate deeper into the body. That means more intense sweating and better detox.
Look for: Ultra-low EMF, Canadian Hemlock wood, and easy tool-free assembly—JNH checks all those boxes.
7. Create a Ritual
Light some candles. Play your favorite calming playlist. Use essential oils (outside the sauna). Making your infrared sessions a full-body experience helps reduce cortisol, relax muscles, and support mental detox too.
Final Thought: Detox Is a Lifestyle, Not a One-Off
Consistency is key. Two to four sessions a week is ideal for most people. Paired with good sleep, hydration, and healthy eating, your infrared sauna can be one of the most rewarding wellness tools you’ll ever own.
So go ahead—turn your home into a personal wellness retreat with JNH Lifestyles.
