Boost Your Immune System This Fall with Float Therapy and Infrared Sauna
As the days get cooler and schedules get busier, it’s also the time of year when colds, flu, and seasonal bugs start making the rounds. The good news? You can take proactive steps to strengthen your immune system and stay resilient with the help of Float Therapy and the Infrared Sauna.
These two therapies not only help you feel relaxed and refreshed. They also support your body in fighting off illness, helping you keep up with work, family, and everything else that matters most.
How Float Therapy Supports Your Immune System
When you step into a Float Room, your body enters a deeply relaxed state. This shift activates your parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” mode), which allows your body to heal and recover more effectively. Here’s how Floating contributes to immune support:
Reduces Stress: High stress levels weaken your immune system. Floating lowers cortisol, helping your body focus on repair and defense.
Supports Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for immunity. Many guests report falling asleep faster and resting more deeply after a Float.
Eases Inflammation: Magnesium from the 1200+ pounds of Epsom salt can help soothe inflammation, a factor linked to weakened immune response.
How Infrared Sauna Helps Defend Against Seasonal Illness
Unlike traditional saunas, the Infrared Sauna uses gentle light waves that penetrate your tissues and heat your body from the inside out. This triggers a natural response similar to a fever (without the negative side effects of being sick), which is one of your body’s frontline defenses against infection.
Raises Core Temperature: Mimics a fever-like state to help your body fight pathogens more effectively.
Promotes Detoxification: Sweating flushes out toxins and impurities, lightening the load on your immune system.
Increases Circulation: Better blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients where your body needs them most.
Stimulates White Blood Cells: Research suggests infrared therapy can boost production of immune cells that fight infections.
