Good Health Saunas offers infrared sauna technology that can be used to treat heart diseases. Regular sessions in an infrared sauna have been shown to:
- Lower blood pressure up to 48%
- Reduce inflammation

Long-term use has proven to reduce heart disease death by up to 50%.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States
Blood Pressure & Heart Disease Reduction with Infrared Saunas
Using our infrared saunas will help you to unwind and can reduce tension built up in your body. With regular use, you could improve your blood vessel dilation and decrease ventricular contractions associated with heart disease. Improve stress test performance, lower your blood pressure, and reduce heart attack risk when you choose our quality infrared saunas.
In a study from Mayo Clinic, researchers selected 100 men and women with various preexisting vascular diseases to monitor blood pressure before and after sauna bathing. They found that sauna use is a good strategy to reduce blood pressure in patients. Men who took frequent sauna baths also reduced their risk of developing hypertension by 47%. Sauna bathing is a safe way to relax and boost health, even for those who have stable cardiovascular diseases. Although, you should monitor the amount you’re using an infrared sauna if you do have underlying heart conditions.
Another study conducted by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland found that sauna baths were associated with a reduction in fatal cardiovascular disease events. Approximately 1,700 people (ages 53-74) participated over 1998-2001 and recorded their sauna habits. It was found that the more frequent sauna use, the less likely people died of heart disease. 15 years after the experiment, only 181 fatal heart disease events occurred out of all participants.
Good Health Saunas’ infrared saunas offer features such as a low EMF carbon and ceramic heater design, chromotherapy lighting, and oxygen ionizers. This ensures that your sauna is safe and you can trust the air quality while inside, and the calming heat will work to combat factors associated with heart disease. We even offer an entertainment center to help you further relax.
Is an Infrared Sauna Good for Heart Patients?
Infrared sauna use has been scientifically proven to reduce the symptoms that are linked to heart disease. A few sessions using infrared technology can help improve your quality of life and reduce your risk of heart disease-related death.
According to a study from the Experimental & Clinical Cardiology journal, sauna bathing has improved hemodynamics in patients with chronic health failure by increasing blood flow and decreasing the amount of blood in the heart before it contracts. This means that saunas can also help reduce cardiac contractions associated with irregular heart rhythms.
When asked about his thoughts on using saunas to reduce the risk of heart disease, Dr. Joshua Liberman said to WebMD, “We know that the application of heat, locally, causes blood vessels to relax and blood flow to increase… over time, these physiological effects would be beneficial.” So it makes sense that there has been a lower risk for heart disease among sauna users. It pays off to regularly use a sauna, but one should always listen to their body and stay hydrated.
