Infrared heat is — quite literally — the hottest new health craze in town. Gwyneth Paltrow Gooped about it. Oprah Dr. Oz–ed about it. And now there’s Higher Dose, an East Village spa specifically devoted to the cult of infrared-sauna-ing, located in the basement of a pricey herbatorium. Wander down any day of the week and you might catch Leonardo DiCaprio, Michelle Williams, Bijou Phillips, or a scrum of IMG fashion models sweating their sins away in Higher Dose’s personal state-of-the-art thermae. Twilight actress Casey LaBow and model Carolyn Murphy have also Instagrammed about it.
The Powerful Benefits of Infrared Saunas
An Infrared sauna can be a powerful tool in the battle to overcome illness or in simply improving your overall health. These powerful detoxification devices are similar to conventional saunas that you may see at the gym but differ in how they expose your body to heat. Infrared light is absorbed by your body and works to heat from the inside out—as opposed to traditional saunas that work through an outside-in approach. Infrared saunas offer themselves as unique tools in helping to maintain a healthy natural balance.
