infrared sauna

Radiant warmth booth

An infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly rather than warming the air around it, as traditional saunas do.

The lower ambient temperature makes sessions more tolerable for some people while still inducing sweating.

Proponents claim benefits for muscle recovery, detoxification, and skin health, though evidence varies: I've been using the infrared sauna at my gym after workouts.
