Blog: Why Regular Halo Infrared Sauna Sessions Should Be Part of Your Wellness Routine

Tuesday, 13 January 2026

Enjoying a Halo Infrared Sauna just once can leave you feeling relaxed and recharged, but like most wellness practices, the true benefits really shine when the sessions become part of your regular routine.

With regular Halo Infrared Sauna sessions, the soothing warmth, salt-infused air, and calming sensory elements work together over time to support deeper relaxation, better breathing, and improved resilience, alongside ongoing recovery. Taken regularly, it becomes a simple yet powerful habit that helps your body and mind feel their best, week after week.

Whether you're looking to support your health, or simply want to carve out more dedicated time for your mind and body, regular sessions allow the cumulative benefits to build, making each visit even more rewarding than the last...

What Makes Halo Infrared Sauna Different?

The Halo Infrared Sauna is a purpose-built experience to combine low-temperature infrared heat with professional-grade dry salt therapy (halotherapy). Unlike traditional steam-based saunas, infrared heat warms the body directly rather than overheating the surrounding air, making the experience more comfortable while still highly effective!

Enhanced Respiratory Health

Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, is well known for its positive impact on the respiratory system. Breathing in the salt-infused air can help clear airways and reduce inflammation. It may also help reduce any inflammation, loosen mucus, and clear allergens. Regular sessions can therefore be especially beneficial for those prone to sinus congestion or seasonal sensitivities.

Stress Relief and Deep Relaxation

One of the most immediate and noticeable benefits of regular Halo Infrared Sauna sessions is how deeply relaxing they feel. Infrared heat works from within, helping muscles release tension while calming the nervous system. Pair that with soft lighting, soothing air, and your favourite music, and those 30 minutes quickly become a treasured pause from everyday life. Over time, regular sessions may also support better sleep and reduced chronic stress, making relaxation easier to access even outside the sauna... and who doesn't want that?

Skin Support

Infrared heat encourages a deep, cleansing sweat that supports the body's natural detoxification processes. When combined with halotherapy, this may also help support skin health, thanks to salt's natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Many people notice clearer, healthier-looking skin and a natural glow with consistent use.

Because the Halo Infrared Sauna operates at a lower temperature than traditional saunas, it can also feel more comfortable for those with sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema, who may find the heat of traditional saunas cause flare-ups.

Muscle Recovery

The warmth of infrared heat is particularly effective at increasing circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to tired or sore muscles. This makes Halo Infrared Sauna sessions particularly beneficial post-workout, when relieving muscle tension, and easing joint stiffness can make all the difference to recovery! If you're managing long-term discomfort, or simply feeling tight from daily life also, regular sessions can help your body feel looser and more comfortable.

Supporting Your Whole Body

Regular infrared sauna use has been linked to a range of long-term wellness benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased flexibility, immune support, and enhanced recovery. While some people sweat heavily during sessions and others don't, both responses are completely normal and your body still benefits from the infrared heat regardless.

For general wellbeing, many people aim for 3-4 sessions per month, though depending on your specific goal, you may choose more or less frequent visits.

Your New Favourite Habit?

As each Halo Infrared Sauna session lasts just 30 minutes, it's easy to fit into even the busiest schedules. And with so many benefits (all while you sit back, relax, and enjoy some uninterrupted time to yourself!) it's a habit that feels less like effort and more like a reward. Interested?
