Is infrared sauna suitable for stress and sleep issues?

Yes. Infrared supports nervous system regulation and helps lower stress hormones that interfere with sleep. Many clients find it easier to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake feeling more rested with regular sessions.

Can infrared help during peri-menopause or menopause?

Infrared doesn’t replace hormones, but it supports the systems that influence hormonal balance. By reducing stress load, improving circulation and supporting sleep, many women find it helpful for temperature sensitivity, fatigue, low mood and disrupted sleep.

Is infrared sauna different from a traditional sauna?

Yes. Infrared heats the body directly rather than heating the air. This makes sessions feel gentler and easier to tolerate, particularly for those sensitive to heat or steam.

How long is a session and what happens during it?

Sessions are 30 minutes. You rest privately in a quiet booth while gentle heat builds gradually. There’s nothing to follow and nothing to perform — the space is designed for stillness.

How often should I use the infrared sauna?

Many people come weekly for ongoing support. Others attend more often during periods of poor sleep, pain, inflammation or hormonal change. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Is infrared suitable for chronic pain or inflammation?

Infrared is commonly used by people managing chronic pain, stiffness and inflammation. Increased circulation and heat can support comfort and recovery as part of a wider approach.

What should I wear?

Wear whatever allows you to relax — minimal clothing or a towel. Sessions are fully private.

What if I don’t sweat during my first session?

That’s completely normal. Sweating varies from person to person and often increases with regular use. Benefits aren’t dependent on how much you sweat.

Is infrared sauna safe?

Infrared is generally well tolerated and uses lower temperatures than traditional saunas. If you’re pregnant, have a medical condition, or are unsure about heat exposure, check with your GP before booking.

Do you offer group sessions or professional bookings?

Yes. Solāis offers limited private group sessions and professional bookings by enquiry.
