Natural Menopause Relief with Infrared Saunas

For women, the aging process is fraught with unique challenges. Perimenopause and menopause bring a number of those challenges, from changing skin to hot flashes and mood disruptions. But menopause also ushers in a much more serious issue: loss of bone density and the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as bones weaken with age. 

Natural menopause treatments for stronger bones

In order to combat osteoporosis, women are generally recommended to increase their calcium and magnesium intake, and, just as importantly, to engage in weight-bearing exercise to strengthen bones. However, aging also increases the likelihood of joint pain and decreased mobility, which can decrease women’s willingness and ability to exercise.

Infrared saunas are one of the best menopause alternative treatment options. Researchers at the University of Geneva have found that warm temperatures help to directly preserve and promote bone growth and may even prevent the loss of bone density associated with menopause. Out in the real world, data supports this: people living in warmer climates suffer fewer hip fractures compared to those in colder climates.

It’s theorized that heat not only prevents the breakdown of compounds responsible for bone growth and general cell production, but actually stimulates the production of these compounds. The result is more bone density and a lower risk of osteoporosis.

Infrared sauna sessions are an ideal way to help preserve bone density as you navigate perimenopause and menopause. The precisely calibrated temperatures of infrared saunas ensure that you’re able to get a safe, consistent dose of therapeutic heat. And the pain-relieving effects of infrared sauna treatments can also help increase general mobility, allowing you to exercise more and receive the bone-strengthening benefits of movement too.

Of course, infrared saunas offer a number of additional benefits to ward off physical signs of aging. While you’re warming your bones, the red light therapy is also helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, firm and tone skin, and detoxify the body for lasting beauty benefits from the inside out.

While it takes technology to truly harness its benefits, infrared light therapy is truly one of the best natural ways to help menopause and delay the aging process from head to toe!
