Does an infrared sauna help with fibromyalgia?

Yes. The deep heat of long-wave infrared helps to relax the muscles, reduce nerve sensitivity and stimulate blood circulation. As a result, many people with fibromyalgia experience less pain and improved sleep quality.

In addition, the heat helps to moderate inflammatory responses in the body. Combined with improved circulation, this supports the body’s natural recovery processes. Inflammation is often at the root of pain and can cause surrounding muscles to tighten, which in turn intensifies discomfort. By addressing these underlying processes, infrared therapy can contribute to a noticeable reduction in symptoms.

This effect also applies to other conditions such as rheumatism and osteoarthritis.
