7.4/ 10

Infrared sauna uses radiant far-infrared heat, and sometimes near-infrared light, to raise core temperature, increase heart rate, trigger sweating, and activate heat-shock pathways at lower ambient temperatures than traditional Finnish sauna. Infrared-specific trials support cardiovascular, pain, and mood signals, but the strongest mortality evidence still comes from traditional sauna cohorts like Laukkanen 2015. The v1.0 update keeps the score at 7.3 because newer 2024-2025 reviews are mixed rather than upgrade-worthy. Read the full breakdown →
