Store manager Hennie at CC Naturkost in Drammen is passionate about health and wellness. When she tested IR SaunaPod Active from Radiant Health, she experienced increased energy, better sleep, and more effective detox.
– The infrared sauna has become a permanent part of my life. I can't imagine a day without an infrared sauna, she says with a glow in her voice.
Optimal detox with infrared sauna
Over many years, Hennie has seen how the body responds to the right products, diet, and lifestyle. At work, she has noticed an increased demand for detox products, and she decided to test an infrared sauna from Radiant Health.
– The sauna is supposed to be the latest on the market for giving the body the optimal detox, as you sweat an enormous amount. Even though I normally live a healthy lifestyle, we are constantly surrounded by toxins. I am looking forward to undergoing a proper cleansing regimen, she says, and goes on to share her expectations.
– I hope for better sleep and more energy. The goal is to detoxify the body through sweating. I also hope that the sauna can provide a training effect with an increased heart rate, as I don't get to exercise as often as I'd like. Maybe even boost my metabolism.
Hennie doesn't have many health problems, but has struggled with a low metabolism in recent years, which she has under control. Otherwise, she suffers from water retention in her body, especially in her legs, and hopes that the sauna can help her get rid of excess fluid.
First sweat session had a powerful effect
The plan is to use the infrared sauna for at least 30 minutes three times a week, over six weeks.
Already after the first sauna session, the reaction was powerful.
– After fifteen minutes, the sweat started to trickle, and by the end, I was completely drenched. It felt like a workout.
Afterwards, Hennie slept better than she had in a long time. Her body went into total rest mode. The next day, she woke up with "muscle soreness" and renewed energy.
– I was actually a little surprised and taken aback by how strongly my body reacted, she says.
Her husband has also tested the sauna. He had the same reaction – first a great tiredness and fantastic sleep, which was then replaced by more energy.
Week 3: More energy, softer body and weight loss
Three weeks into the project, Hennie is glowing. Both she and her husband are hooked on the IR sauna.
– We almost have to fight over who gets to use it first, she laughs.
The results are clear:
More energy in daily life, softer muscles and mobile joints, reduced skin dryness with radiant skin, and a weight loss of 1.5 kg – without any dietary changes.
Stress from hectic workdays is sweated away in 30 minutes in the evening, and the feeling afterwards is the same every time: calm, relaxation, and an almost euphoric body sensation. By using a body scrub after the sauna sessions, she also experiences an extra boost in skin renewal.
– I have a whole new glow to my skin, she says.
Week 6: An investment in one's own health
When we speak with Hennie after six weeks of regular infrared sauna use, the sauna sessions have become a fixed ritual before bedtime.
– I'm addicted, she says laughingly, adding that she loves the feeling of sweating out the day's stress.
Hennie highlights several health benefits: fantastic sleep every night, steadily more energy in everyday life, baby-soft skin with a healthy glow, reduced weight – a total of three kilos down, a feeling of inner lightness and purity, as well as softer muscles and more mobile joints.
Bonus: The sauna is easy to take to the cabin – flat-packed and ready in seconds.
Hennie summarizes the test period with a glow in her voice. Infrared sauna has become one of the best health investments she has made.
– To be able to sweat out stress, toxins, excess fluid and waste products while also getting better sleep, more energy and a softer body – that is a gift.
Hennie's best tips:
Drink plenty of water before, during and after. Use at least two towels – you'll sweat a lot! Schedule your sauna session for the evening for deeper sleep. Start gently and gradually increase the time. And not least – enjoy the process, your body will love you for it!
