Why the Infrared Sauna at SOL SPA Is Your Best Defense This Cold & Flu Season

The holidays are coming, the temperatures are dropping, and suddenly everyone around you is coughing, sneezing, or texting “I’m out sick.” If you’re tired of spending half of winter fighting off whatever bug is going around, it’s time to get proactive. The infrared sauna at SOL SPA is one of the smartest moves you can make right now.

Unlike traditional saunas that just heat the air, infrared saunas use gentle, penetrating infrared light to raise your core body temperature in a way that mimics a mild fever, the exact natural defense mechanism your body already uses to kill viruses and bacteria. Studies show that regularly elevating your core temperature (even by just a degree or two) can make it much harder for cold and flu viruses to replicate. Think of it as giving your immune system a daily training session.

This time of year we’re all stuck indoors more, breathing recycled air, touching the same shopping carts and door handles. That’s why the deep-sweat detox you get in the infrared sauna is pure gold. Heavy metals, chemical residues, and everyday toxins that can suppress immune function get flushed out through your skin, your body’s largest detox organ.

And because we’re open 24/7, you don’t have to rearrange your life to stay healthy. Feeling something coming on after work? Swing by at 9 p.m. Kids finally in bed? Book a 30-minute Hot Detox Yoga session at 11 p.m. Traveling for the holidays and want to boost immunity before hopping on a plane? Hit the sauna at 5 a.m. before you leave. No hassle, no waiting — just book your appointment on the easy to use SOL SPA app, walk in, and let the infrared waves go to work.

Pair your Hot Detox Yoga session with a quick stop under our Full Body Red Light Therapy on the way out and you’re doubling down: red light has been shown to increase white blood cell activity and reduce inflammation, giving your immune system even more backup.

This winter, don’t just hope you stay healthy, stack the odds in your favor. One 30–minute infrared sauna session at SOL SPA a few times a week is one of the easiest, most enjoyable ways to keep the sniffles at bay and actually enjoy the season instead of dreading it.

Your immune system will thank you… and so will everyone who doesn’t have to hear you cough through Christmas dinner.

Let’s keep you glowing, detoxed, and healthy all winter long. 🔥
