Saunas at City Cave offer a cutting-edge wellness experience designed to promote relaxation, detoxification, and overall well-being. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body directly, providing a deeper, more penetrating heat.

The Sauna Experience

When you step into a sauna at City Cave, you’ll find a tranquil environment designed for maximum comfort and relaxation. The soothing infrared heat warms your body from the inside out, allowing you to unwind and let go of daily stresses. This type of sauna therapy encourages a state of light meditation, promoting mental clarity and an overall sense of well-being.

City Cave’s Infrared Sauna rooms offer luxurious relaxation for you, or two.

Benefits of Saunas

Saunas offer numerous health benefits, including:

Improved Circulation: The heat from a sauna increases blood flow, which can help improve circulation and support healthy heart function.
Lower Blood Pressure: Regular use of a sauna has been shown to help lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction: The gentle heat helps to relax your muscles and calm your mind, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Detoxification: Sweating in a sauna helps to eliminate toxins from your body, promoting overall detoxification.
Improved Immune System: Saunas can help boost the immune system, protecting against heart disease and other illnesses.
Enhanced Mood and Better Sleep: The relaxing experience can boost your mood, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and optimistic, and can also help improve sleep quality.

RELAXATION TIP - Progressive Muscle Relaxation in the Sauna

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a great way to relax deeply in the sauna:

Start: Find a comfortable position in the sauna.
Tense and Release: Begin with your feet, tense each muscle group for 5 seconds, then release.
Progress: Move up your body - calves, thighs, abdomen, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and face.
Repeat: Cycle through each muscle group, enjoying the soothing warmth of the sauna.

PMR in the sauna helps reduce stress and enhance relaxation.

Saunas for a Healthy Heart

Saunas have become increasingly popular for their heart health benefits. By penetrating the skin with heat, saunas induce positive physiological effects that support heart health, including improved circulation and lower blood pressure. These benefits, along with stress reduction and detoxification, contribute to a healthier heart and overall improved well-being. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting sauna sessions, especially for those with heart conditions or high blood pressure.

Infrared Sauna vs Traditional Sauna

While both infrared and traditional saunas offer numerous health benefits, they operate differently and provide distinct experiences:

Heat Source: Traditional saunas heat the air around you, typically using a stove or heater, which then warms your body indirectly. Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use infrared light to directly heat your body, resulting in a deeper, more penetrating heat.
Temperature: Traditional saunas usually operate at higher temperatures, often between 150°F and 195°F (65°C to 90°C). Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures, usually between 120°F and 150°F (50°C to 65°C), making them more tolerable for longer sessions.
Humidity: Traditional saunas can have varying levels of humidity, especially if water is poured over hot stones to create steam. Infrared saunas provide a dry heat, with low humidity levels.
Sweating and Detoxification: Both types of saunas induce sweating and aid in detoxification, but the infrared heat penetrates deeper into the skin, which can enhance the detoxification process.
Comfort and Experience: Infrared saunas often feel less intense than traditional saunas due to the lower air temperature, making the experience more comfortable for those sensitive to heat.

Combining Saunas with Other Therapies

At City Cave, we encourage you to enhance your wellness journey by combining sauna sessions with our other therapies. For instance, pairing a sauna session with Float Therapy or a Massage can amplify the benefits, leading to deeper relaxation and improved overall health. Our guests often refer to these combinations as "Flauna" (Float + Sauna) or "Saunage" (Sauna + Massage), which provide unique and tailored experiences for enhanced well-being.

Who Can Benefit from Saunas?

Sauna therapy is suitable for anyone looking to improve their mental and physical health. Whether you’re an athlete seeking muscle recovery, a busy professional needing stress relief, or someone looking to detoxify and improve sleep, saunas offer a versatile and effective solution.

How Often Should You Use a Sauna?

The frequency of sauna sessions can vary based on individual needs and health goals. For general wellness and stress reduction, many people find that one to two sessions per week are beneficial. For those with specific health concerns or goals, more frequent sessions may be recommended.
