How Infrared Saunas Can Help With Radiation Sickness and Cancer Pain
Good Health Saunas’ infrared saunas include features designed to relieve radiation sickness and the chronic pain linked to cancer. Our chromotherapy lighting options can help instill calmness with relaxing cool blue or deep purple settings, creating a soothing environment during sessions. Infrared heat is delivered through 360° heater placement, including in the floor, so users don’t have to move to receive full-body coverage. This deep, even heat penetration supports circulation and helps reduce discomfort without constant repositioning.
Beyond physical relief, mental wellness is equally important. Our built-in entertainment center allows users to listen to music, audiobooks or other calming content to ease stress. A focused and relaxed state supports the immune system and enhances the overall healing environment for patients coping with cancer treatment side effects.

Science Backs Using Infrared Saunas for Cancer Pain and Radiation Sickness
Unlike electromagnetic sources such as phones, power lines or computer screens, infrared saunas do not increase harmful radiation exposure. Instead, studies in Japan and Sweden have found infrared-based therapies effective in reducing side effects tied to electromagnetic toxicity.
Further research highlights infrared saunas’ broader benefits for cancer pain management. In the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Lawrence Wilson, MD, wrote: “If I were to single out one method to combat cancer, it is the sauna. It assists removal of chemical toxins and heavy metals, increases oxygenation, enhances the immune system, and reduces the radiation burden in the body.”
Tips for the Best Sauna Experience
1. Stretch before entering the sauna.
Stretching wakes up your body, gets your blood pumping, and increases your flexibility, and these preparations will ensure that your mind, body, and health will see the greatest results after your infrared sauna session.
2. Hydrate your body.
They say you should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day, and they’re not wrong! Keeping your body hydrated guarantees that you’ll have the stamina to enjoy an entire session of healthy heat in an infrared sauna.
3. Find the right settings.
Not everyone has the same body, so not everyone should have the same settings when it comes to their infrared sauna experience. If you’re looking to truly relax, then you may want to adjust the chromotherapy lighting to our cool blue, turn the heat to a lower temperature, and play some calming tunes. But, if you’re someone who wants to use the infrared sauna to feel energized, then perhaps a radiant orange, higher temperature, and an inspiring music selection is the way to go.
4. Take advantage of the bench.
Our infrared saunas come equipped with a comfortable bench that’s stationed at just the right height, so use it! The bench gives you somewhere to put your feet up to relax, sit calmly if you want to meditate, or provides an area for you to do that stretching we talked about earlier.
