  • Have had a recent hemorrhagic stroke or have severe aortic stenosis.

Now, let’s explore the science behind each of these recommendations.

How Infrared Saunas Work: Understanding the Safety Profile

To understand infrared sauna safety, you first need to know how they differ from traditional saunas. This key difference is what makes them a safer and more comfortable option for many people.

Traditional vs. Infrared: A Safety Comparison

A traditional Finnish sauna uses a stove to heat rocks, which then heat the air around you to very high temperatures.

  • High Air Temps: They heat the air to 180-220°F.
  • Convection Heat: The hot air is what heats your body.
  • Higher Stress: The extreme air temperature can be uncomfortable for breathing and puts more stress on the cardiovascular system.

Infrared saunas work differently. They use radiant heat to warm your body directly.

  • Lower Air Temps: The air stays at a comfortable 120-150°F.
  • Radiant Heat: Far-infrared wavelengths penetrate up to 1.5 inches into your tissues, heating you from the inside out.
  • Lower Stress: A landmark 2018 study in *Mayo Clinic Proceedings* highlighted that infrared saunas provide similar cardiovascular benefits at lower, more tolerable temperatures.

The main safety advantage is clear. Infrared saunas raise your core body temperature effectively without extreme air temperatures. This makes them a better choice for people with respiratory issues or heat sensitivity.

What Makes Far-Infrared Heat Safe

Far-infrared (FIR) is a natural and safe part of the sun’s spectrum. It’s the gentle warmth you feel on your skin, completely separate from harmful UV radiation. In fact, this same technology has been trusted for decades in medical devices.

  • Neonatal incubators for premature infants.
  • Heat lamps used in physical therapy clinics.
  • Specialized warming devices in hospitals, like the Medgyn Medical Warming Device.

Far-infrared is a form of non-ionizing radiation. This means it doesn’t have enough energy to damage your DNA, unlike X-rays or gamma rays. It simply causes water molecules in your body to vibrate, which generates gentle, therapeutic heat.

Your body absorbs about 93% of this energy, making it a very efficient way to deliver warmth. This efficiency is why infrared saunas work so well at lower, safer air temperatures.

The EMF Question: Separating Fact from Fear

When people ask, “are infrared saunas safe,” they are usually thinking about electromagnetic fields (EMF). This is a valid concern, and it’s critical to have a clear, science-based answer.

Understanding EMF and ELF Exposure

Every electrical device produces EMF, from your phone to your refrigerator. The question is not whether EMF exists, but whether the levels are below established safety limits.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and other bodies like the ICNIRP recommend keeping long-term magnetic field (EMF) exposure below 3 milligauss (mG). Additionally, electric fields (ELF) from power supplies should stay below 1,000 millivolts (mV).

Here is where many sauna companies fall short.

  • Many “low EMF” saunas still test at 5-60 mG where you sit.
  • Budget models can exceed 100 mG. For context, that can be higher than holding a hairdryer directly to your head.
  • ELF levels are often completely ignored, with some saunas testing over 20,000 mV, which is 20 times the recommended limit.
  • They often test an empty sauna, but your body conducts electricity, which can change the readings.

How SaunaCloud Achieves Ultra-Low EMF/ELF

At SaunaCloud, our VantaWave heaters consistently test below 0.5 mG at all seated positions. That is six times safer than the WHO guidelines. We accomplish this through meticulous engineering.

  1. Advanced Heater Design: Our graphite-ceramic composite material distributes current perfectly evenly, which prevents EMF hotspots.
  2. Shielded Wiring: We run all electrical wiring through grounded metal conduit, the same standard used in commercial construction.
  3. Strategic Placement: Heaters are positioned to give you maximum therapeutic heat with minimal field concentration.
  4. In-House Power Supplies: We design our own power systems right here in California to guarantee ultra-low ELF readings.

We test every sauna with a professional-grade TriField TF2 meter with a person inside. This is an expensive and time-consuming process, but it’s the only way to ensure safety.

How to Verify EMF Safety When Shopping

When you research infrared saunas, you must demand real test results, not just marketing promises.

Red flags to watch for:

  • Vague claims of “low EMF” without providing any specific numbers.
  • No mention of ELF testing at all. This is a huge warning sign.
  • Testing was only done in one spot in an empty sauna.
  • Statements like “meets safety standards” without specifying which ones.

What you should look for:

  • Published EMF results showing levels below 3 mG, but preferably below 1 mG.
  • ELF measurements below 1,000 mV.
  • Independent third-party test reports.
  • Proof that testing was done with a person seated inside the sauna.
  • Measurements from every seated position, not just the “best” one.

For more on this important topic, please read our article on radiation and EMF concerns in infrared saunas.

Material Safety: The Toxic Truth About Cheap Saunas

Here is a safety risk that most people overlook. When you heat wood to 150°F, any chemicals, glues, or finishes used on it can be released into the air as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). An enclosed sauna cabin can concentrate these chemicals, and you breathe them in.

The Cedar Standard: Why Material Selection Matters

We build exclusively with clear-grade Western Red Canadian Cedar for very specific safety reasons.

It’s Naturally Antimicrobial

  • Cedar contains natural oils, like thujaplicin, that resist mold, bacteria, and fungus.
  • This means it doesn’t need any chemical preservatives.
  • It keeps these properties even after years of heating and cooling cycles.

It’s Thermally Stable

  • Cedar handles temperature changes without cracking or warping.
  • It stays structurally sound and safe for decades.

It Has Zero Off-Gassing

  • We apply no stains, varnishes, or chemical treatments of any kind.
  • We use no formaldehyde-based adhesives. In fact, we avoid all plywood and engineered wood.
  • All our hardware is stainless steel, never painted or zinc-coated metal.

To learn more about why your sauna’s wood choice is critical, read our article on whether cedar wood is safe for infrared saunas.

What to Avoid in Sauna Construction

Many low-cost saunas use dangerous materials to save money.

Plywood or OSB: These are bonded with formaldehyde-based glues that release toxic gas when heated.
Chemically Treated Wood: Stains and preservatives release VOCs directly into the air you breathe.
Painted Metal Components: These can release metallic vapors at high temperatures.
Vinyl or PVC Panels: These materials are extremely toxic when heated.
Generic Adhesives: Many glues contain VOCs that vaporize in the heat.

Using a sauna for detoxification while breathing in formaldehyde completely defeats the purpose. Your sauna should be a clean space, not a source of new toxins.

Questions to Ask Manufacturers

Before you buy any infrared sauna, you should get clear answers to these questions.

  • What exact species and grade of wood do you use? (The best answer is solid clear-grade cedar).
  • Are any stains, varnishes, or chemical treatments applied to the wood? (The only safe answer is no).
  • What type of glue or adhesive is used? (It should be non-toxic and low-VOC).
  • Are there any plywood or engineered wood parts? (The answer should be no, none at all).
  • What are the metal fasteners made of? (Look for stainless steel).

A company that cares about material science will answer these questions easily. A company that cuts corners will give you vague answers or try to change the subject.

Medical Safety: When to Use Caution or Avoid Entirely

While infrared saunas are safe for most healthy adults, certain medical situations require extra care. This section provides clear guidance for your health and safety.

Cardiovascular Conditions: Exercise Equivalent

An infrared sauna session gives your heart a gentle workout, similar to a brisk walk. Your heart rate increases, and blood circulation improves. This is beneficial for heart health, but it also means you need your cardiologist’s approval if you have a heart condition.

One of the largest studies on this topic, the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study in Finland, showed that frequent sauna use was linked to a major drop in cardiovascular events.

Always get physician approval before use if you have:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • A history of heart attack
  • Unstable angina or chest pain
  • Severe aortic stenosis
  • Heart failure or cardiomyopathy
  • Recent heart surgery
  • Arrhythmias or a pacemaker

Many cardiologists now recommend infrared saunas for heart health. However, your specific protocol needs to be tailored to your condition. Never start without your doctor’s clearance.

For more on heart health benefits, see our article on reducing blood pressure naturally with infrared saunas.

Pregnancy: The Conservative Approach

So, are infrared saunas safe during pregnancy? The medical consensus is to be cautious. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises against any activity that raises core body temperature above 102°F. This is especially important during the first trimester.

Our recommendation is simple: avoid infrared sauna use during all trimesters. The potential risks, though small, are not worth it during this important time. You can resume your sauna routine after delivery.

Medications That Affect Thermoregulation

Some medications change how your body handles heat. If you take any of the following, please talk to your doctor before starting infrared sauna therapy.

Cardiovascular medications:

  • Beta-blockers (metoprolol)
  • ACE inhibitors (lisinopril)
  • Diuretics (furosemide)

Other common medications:

  • Antihistamines like Benadryl
  • Stimulants (ADHD medications)
  • Tricyclic antidepressants
  • Immunosuppressants

These drugs can affect your sweating response, blood pressure regulation, or perception of heat. This makes it harder for you to know when to end your session.

For more details on this topic, please review our guide on using infrared saunas while taking medication.

Age-Related Considerations

Children (under puberty): Not recommended. When people ask “are infrared saunas safe for kids,” the answer is no for young children. They have not fully developed their ability to sweat and can overheat easily.

⚠️ Adolescents (13-17 years): Can be used with supervision. Teens can start with shorter sessions of 15-20 minutes under an adult’s watch. They must be able to clearly say how they are feeling.

Elderly adults (65+): Generally safe with precautions. A 2022 study in the *Journal of Gerontology* linked regular sauna use to a lower risk of dementia, but only when users stayed well-hydrated. Keep sessions shorter (20-30 minutes) and temperatures moderate (120-130°F).

Chronic Conditions Requiring Special Protocols

Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Heat can temporarily worsen symptoms, a reaction known as Uhthoff’s phenomenon. However, some people with MS find relief with very short sessions. The National MS Society offers great resources on managing heat sensitivity.

MS Protocol: Start with just 10 minutes at 115-120°F and carefully monitor your symptoms. Stop immediately if you feel worse.

Diabetes: Heat affects insulin sensitivity and blood sugar. The American Diabetes Association advises monitoring glucose levels during any new physical activity, and this applies to sauna use.

  • Check your blood sugar before and after your session.
  • Stay very well-hydrated, as dehydration can affect glucose levels.
  • Talk to your endocrinologist about adjusting medication timing if needed.

If you have any other chronic condition, from hemophilia to recent surgery, please consult your specialist first. For more guidance, see our article on infrared sauna safety tips and health risks.

Safe Usage Protocols: How to Use Infrared Saunas Correctly

Even the world’s best-engineered sauna requires you to follow proper usage protocols. This is how to get the most benefit while staying safe.

First-Time User Protocol

Weeks 1-2: Build Your Tolerance

  • Temperature: 120-130°F
  • Duration: 15-20 minutes
  • Frequency: Every other day

Weeks 3-4: Increase Intensity

  • Temperature: 130-140°F
  • Duration: 20-30 minutes
  • Frequency: 4-5 times per week

Week 5 and Beyond: Maintenance

  • Temperature: 135-150°F
  • Duration: 30-45 minutes
  • Frequency: 3-7 times per week, based on your goals

Never start with a long, hot session. Your body needs time to adapt to the heat. Rushing this process is the main cause of dizziness and fatigue.

Hydration: The Most Critical Safety Factor

Dehydration is the number one reason people have a bad experience in a sauna. You can easily lose over a quart of water through sweat in a single session.

Before Your Session:

  • Drink 16-20 oz of water about 30-60 minutes before you get in.
  • Avoid alcohol for at least four hours beforehand.

During Your Session:

  • Bring a water bottle inside with you and sip throughout.
  • Add electrolytes if your session is longer than 40 minutes. An electrolyte powder like LMNT or Nuun works great.

After Your Session:

  • Drink another 20-32 oz of water within 30 minutes of finishing.
  • Always replace electrolytes. Coconut water or a pinch of sea salt in your water works well.
  • Check your urine color. It should be light yellow, not dark.

If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or get a headache, exit the sauna immediately, cool down, and rehydrate. These are classic signs of dehydration.

Core Temperature Monitoring

A successful session will raise your core body temperature by about 2-3 degrees, up to around 101-102°F. This mild, temporary fever state is called hyperthermia, and it helps trigger the release of beneficial heat shock proteins.

Safe Core Temperature Range: 100-102°F
Upper Limit: 102-103°F (be ready to end your session)
Danger Zone: Above 103°F (exit immediately)

You don’t need to measure your temperature constantly. The most important thing is to listen to your body. If you feel unwell, it’s time to get out, cool down, and drink some water.

Session Timing and Frequency

When you use your sauna can change the benefits you feel.

Morning Sessions:

  • Can be very energizing and set a positive tone for the day.
  • Great for preparing your body for daily activities.

Post-Workout:

  • This is the most popular time for athletes.
  • Enhances muscle recovery and reduces soreness.
  • Promotes deep relaxation after physical exertion.

Evening Sessions:

  • Excellent for promoting relaxation and better sleep.
  • Helps you unwind from the stress of the day.
  • Just be sure to leave about 2 hours between your sauna and bedtime.

Red Light Therapy Integration: Additional Safety Considerations

We integrate medical-grade red light therapy (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) into our saunas. This combination provides amazing therapeutic benefits, but it adds a few extra safety points to consider.

Eye Protection with Red Light Therapy

The therapeutic intensity of red and near-infrared light can be very bright up close. While it is not damaging to your eyes like UV light, the brightness can be uncomfortable.

  • Simply close your eyes during your session.
  • You can also wear protective eyewear if you prefer.
  • Avoid staring directly into the LEDs.

Skin Photosensitivity Considerations

A few medications and skin conditions can increase your sensitivity to light therapy.

Common Photosensitizing Medications:

  • Tetracycline antibiotics
  • St. John’s Wort
  • Accutane (isotretinoin)
  • Certain diuretics and chemotherapy drugs

If you take any of these, start with shorter red light sessions (5-10 minutes) to see how your skin responds. If you have a condition like lupus or porphyria, talk to your doctor first.

Optimal Red Light Positioning

The biggest issue with red light in most saunas isn’t safety, it’s that it doesn’t work. Most companies mount the LEDs on the ceiling, too far away to have any real therapeutic effect.

For red light (660nm) to be effective, it needs to be within 6 inches of your skin. For near-infrared (850nm), it needs to be within 4 inches for deep penetration.

We solve this by embedding our red light arrays directly into the backrests and benches, placing them 2-4 inches from your body. This ensures you get a clinical-grade dose in every session.

For a complete guide, read about our red light infrared saunas.

Electrical Safety: The Hidden Risk Factor

Here is a fact that most sauna buyers never think about. The most common point of failure in an infrared sauna isn’t the heater, it’s the power supply and control systems.

Why Electrical Components Matter for Safety

Most sauna companies import generic, low-cost power supplies from overseas. These components often lack proper safety testing and are built with the cheapest parts available. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical failures are a leading cause of home fires.

When a cheap power supply fails, your sauna might just stop working. In a worst-case scenario, it could become a fire hazard.

SaunaCloud’s Electrical Safety Engineering

NEC (National Electrical Code) Compliant:

  • All our systems meet the residential and commercial electrical safety standards.
  • We provide detailed electrical plans for your electrician.

UL-Certified and ETL-Listed Components:

  • We use UL-certified relays, wiring, and terminal blocks for third-party verified safety.
  • Our systems carry the ETL mark, which is another nationally recognized safety certification.

Multiple Safety Shutoffs:

  • Every sauna has thermal cutoffs that automatically shut the system down if it gets too hot.
  • We include ground fault and overvoltage protection to prevent electrical leaks and surges.

Our electrical systems are designed to last for over 20 years of daily use. We have had zero power supply failures in 11 years across 3,000 installations.

Questions to Ask About Electrical Safety

When you are shopping for a sauna, demand clear answers on electrical safety.

  • Where are your power supplies and control systems made?
  • What safety certifications (UL, ETL, CSA) do your electrical parts carry?
  • What is the warranty on the electrical components? (It should be several years, not one).
  • Can you provide the electrical spec sheet for my electrician to review?

How to Identify Safe vs. Unsafe Infrared Saunas

After reviewing hundreds of competitor products, we’ve learned how to spot quality from a mile away. Here’s a clear comparison to help you choose wisely.

FeatureHigh-Quality Sauna (e.g., SaunaCloud)Low-Quality Budget Sauna
EMF/ELF LevelsPublished results below 3 mG (ours are <0.5 mG)Vague “low EMF” claims or levels over 10 mG
Wood TypeSolid, clear-grade Canadian Western Red CedarHemlock, Basswood, or Plywood panels
AdhesivesNone or non-toxic, low-VOC gluesFormaldehyde-based glues that off-gas
Electrical SystemsIn-house design with UL/ETL certified partsGeneric, uncertified imported power supply
WarrantyLifetime on heaters, 5-7 years on electrical“Limited” 1-year warranty with fine print

Pressure sales tactics are another huge red flag. High-pressure “sale ends tonight” deals are often used to prevent you from researching their specifications too closely.

A quality manufacturer will be focused on engineering and education, not just making a quick sale.

For more tips on what to look for, see our guide on how to spot a cheap infrared sauna.

Pre-Session Safety Checklist

Run through this quick checklist before every single sauna session to ensure a safe and effective experience.

Before Entering the Sauna

☑️ Hydration Check

  • Have you had 16-20 oz of water in the last hour?
  • Is your urine a light yellow color?
  • Have you avoided alcohol for at least 4 hours?

☑️ Physical Readiness

  • Do you feel generally well (no fever or illness)?
  • Have you had a light meal or snack? (Don’t sauna on an empty stomach).

☑️ Equipment Check

  • Is your water bottle filled and accessible?
  • Do you have clean towels ready?
  • Is your timer set for the correct session length?

During and After the Session

☑️ Monitor Your Body

  • Are you sweating well but not feeling dizzy or nauseous?
  • Is your heart rate elevated but comfortable?
  • If anything feels off, end your session early.

☑️ Cool Down Properly

  • Stand up slowly when you exit.
  • Sit or lie down for 5-10 minutes to let your body cool gradually.

☑️ Rehydrate and Replenish

  • Drink 20-32 oz of water within 30 minutes.
  • Make sure to add electrolytes to replace what you lost through sweat.

If you ever feel wrong at any point, the answer is simple. Exit the sauna, cool down, and rehydrate. There is always tomorrow.

The Bottom Line: Are Infrared Saunas Safe?

So, are infrared saunas safe to use? After more than a decade of engineering them, our answer is an emphatic yes. An infrared sauna is one of the safest and most effective wellness tools you can own, but only when it is designed, manufactured, and used correctly.

“Properly designed” means:

  • EMF/ELF levels are tested and verified to be below WHO guidelines.
  • The electrical system is NEC-compliant with multiple safety backups.

“Properly manufactured” means:

  • The cabin is built from solid, clear-grade cedar with no chemical treatments.
  • There is no plywood, engineered wood, or toxic glues anywhere in the construction.

“Properly used” means:

  • You start with shorter, cooler sessions and adapt gradually.
  • You stay fully hydrated before, during, and after every session.
  • You get medical clearance if you have any chronic health conditions.

When these three factors are in place, an infrared sauna is not just safe, it’s a powerful tool for improving your health. The benefits, from better heart health to reduced stress, far outweigh the risks for most people.

At SaunaCloud, we’ve built our company around these principles of safety and quality. If you’re ready to see what a properly engineered sauna looks like, we invite you to start your custom design consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Infrared Sauna Safety

Can you use an infrared sauna every day?

Yes, for most healthy adults, daily use is safe once you’ve built up your heat tolerance over a few weeks. Many people enjoy daily 30-45 minute sessions. Just listen to your body and take a rest day if you feel fatigued.

Are there any adverse side effects of infrared saunas?

When used correctly, side effects are rare. The most common issues are all related to dehydration (dizziness, headache) or overheating. These are easily avoided with proper hydration and by starting slowly.

How hot is too hot in an infrared sauna?

Most people find the 135-145°F range to be the sweet spot for a 30-45 minute session. If the air feels uncomfortably hot or it becomes hard to breathe, simply lower the temperature.

Can infrared saunas cause cancer?

No. Far-infrared energy is non-ionizing, which means it does not have enough energy to damage DNA. It is completely different from UV radiation from the sun or X-rays. Multiple studies have shown no link between far-infrared exposure and cancer.

Is it safe to use an infrared sauna with breast implants?

It is generally considered safe, but you should confirm with your plastic surgeon. Modern silicone and saline implants are designed to withstand normal body temperatures. Start with shorter, cooler sessions to be safe.

Can children use infrared saunas?

Children who have not gone through puberty should not use infrared saunas. Their bodies can’t regulate temperature by sweating as effectively as an adult’s. Teens over 13 can use them for shorter, supervised sessions.

Do infrared saunas emit harmful radiation?

No. Far-infrared is a safe, natural wavelength of light that is used in neonatal incubators. The only “radiation” concern is the electromagnetic fields (EMF) from the electrical parts, which is why choosing a properly shielded, ultra-low EMF sauna is so important.

How long should a beginner stay in an infrared sauna?

Start with 15-20 minute sessions at a lower temperature of 120-130°F for your first couple of weeks. This gives your body time to adapt. You can gradually increase the time and temperature from there.

Should I shower before or after using an infrared sauna?

It’s best to shower before your session to remove any lotions or oils from your skin. After your session, wait about 10-15 minutes to allow your body to cool down naturally, then take a warm shower.

Can I use my phone or read in an infrared sauna?

We don’t recommend it. High heat can damage electronics, especially phone batteries, which often have a maximum safe operating temperature of 95°F. Sauna time is a great opportunity to disconnect, meditate, and listen to your body.

Final Thoughts from Our Founder

When people ask me, “Are infrared saunas safe?” I understand the concern. You’re considering investing $10,000-$ 20,000 in a wellness tool for your home, and you want to ensure it won’t harm your family.

After engineering 3,000+ custom saunas, reviewing decades of research, and personally using infrared therapy for 11 years, I can tell you with confidence: when infrared saunas are built correctly, with ultra-low EMF shielding, medical-grade components, and premium non-toxic materials, they’re not just safe. They’re transformative.

I’ve seen clients reverse cardiovascular disease markers, eliminate chronic pain, overcome insomnia, and reclaim energy they thought was gone forever. I’ve watched athletes cut recovery time in half and executives reduce stress to manageable levels.

However, I’ve also seen inexpensive saunas with EMF levels 100 times higher than ours. I’ve seen beautiful cabins that off-gas formaldehyde. I’ve seen power supplies catch fire after three years. And it makes me angry, because it doesn’t have to be that way.

This is why we engineer every component ourselves, test every production run, and stand behind our work with meaningful warranties. This is why I give every client my direct phone number. This is why we’ve never had a heater or power supply fail in our 11 years of operation.

Because when something goes into your home, where your family relaxes, recovers, and restores, it better be engineered right.

If you have questions about safety considerations specific to your situation, book a consultation with me or our design team. We’ll discuss your health history, goals, and concerns honestly, and show you exactly how we build safety into every sauna we manufacture.
