Is an infrared sauna beneficial for colds?

Yes. Infrared therapy can temporarily raise the body’s core temperature, similar to a natural fever response. This may stimulate the production of white blood cells that help fight infections, supporting the immune system and overall resilience.

In addition, many bacteria and viruses are less able to thrive at higher body temperatures, which may help to weaken them.

Many users also experience relief from common cold symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue and nasal congestion.
