Infrared sauna
Infrared Sauna Therapy in GurugramGentle heat, time to unwind.
An infrared sauna warms your body with dry, comfortable heat. Regular sessions may support circulation, relaxation and recovery. At Mitogenez it supports a doctor-led plan; it is never the whole plan.

The idea
When your body warms up, your heart beats a little faster and your blood vessels widen to release heat, a bit like during light exercise. Studies of regular sauna use link it with better heart health, less muscle tension and better sleep. Infrared saunas do this at a lower air temperature than a traditional sauna, which many people find easier to tolerate.
How it works
Warmth, circulation, recovery.
- 01
Dry, gentle heat
Infrared heaters warm your body directly, while the air stays cooler and drier than in a steam room or traditional sauna.
- 02
Your body responds
Your heart rate rises, blood vessels widen and you sweat, as your body works to release the heat.
- 03
Rest and recovery
Afterwards many people feel relaxed. Over time, regular sessions may support circulation, recovery and sleep.

Who it may help
Is it right for you?
Most long-term evidence comes from traditional saunas; research on infrared saunas specifically is smaller but growing. Your doctor will tell you honestly what it can and cannot do for you, and whether it belongs in your plan at all.

- Recovery between training sessions
- Some chronic aches, case by case
Stress & sleep

Where it fits
A supportive therapy, inside a doctor-led plan.
An infrared sauna is a supportive habit, not a treatment on its own. Your doctor looks first at your heart health, blood pressure, sleep and stress, treats what needs treating, and adds sauna sessions only where they suit you, then reviews how you respond.
- 01
Assess
A doctor reviews your health and screens you for safety.
- 02
Plan
Medicine and lifestyle first; therapies only where they help.
- 03
Measure
Retests show what is working, and the plan adapts.
Safety first
Screened, supervised, explained.
- A physician screens you first. Heart conditions, uncontrolled or very low blood pressure, and some medicines need a doctor’s clearance before you use the sauna.
- It is not advised in pregnancy, during a fever or acute illness, or for people who do not tolerate heat well.
- Drink water before and after. Light-headedness or feeling too hot can happen; leave the sauna, sit and cool down if it does. Avoid alcohol before a session.
- Session length and temperature are set for you, and the team checks on you during your session.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
No. Heat raises your heart rate, but it does not build strength or fitness the way exercise does. It can be a helpful addition, for example on rest days or when injury limits exercise, alongside the activity your doctor recommends.
Most people find it easier. The heat is dry and the air is cooler than in a traditional sauna or steam room, so breathing usually feels comfortable. You can open the door and step out at any time.
Research on regular sauna use often looks at a few sessions a week. The right amount for you depends on your health and goals, so your doctor sets it, starting gently and adjusting as you go.
Sometimes, but only after a doctor checks. Heat changes blood pressure and heart rate, and some blood pressure medicines can make you feel faint in the heat. If your blood pressure is well controlled and your doctor agrees, short, supervised sessions may be suitable.
For most healthy adults who are screened, it is well tolerated. The main risks are overheating, dehydration and feeling faint, which careful timing, water and supervision help prevent. It is not suitable for everyone, which is why a physician screens you first.
