Summer Self-Care: Why Infrared Sauna & Other Modalities Still Shine in the Heat

When the temperatures rise and summer is in full swing, many people assume it's time to pause their sauna sessions and wellness routines—but the truth is, summer is exactly when your body needs consistent support the most.

At Prism Health, we offer powerful modalities that not only enhance your physical health but help you stay energized, balanced, and grounded throughout the season of sun, fun, and activity. Here's why continuing your sessions—especially in the sauna—even during the warmer months is a powerful act of self-care.

🔥 The Surprising Summer Benefits of Infrared Sauna

Yes, it sounds counterintuitive: stepping into a warm sauna when it’s already hot outside. But here’s the secret—infrared sauna therapy actually helps your body regulate heat more efficiently. It’s like training your internal thermostat.

After a sauna session, you’ll often walk outside and feel noticeably cooler and lighter. This is due to increased circulation, endorphin release, and improved heat tolerance. You’re not just sweating—you're enhancing your body’s natural cooling system.

Bonus Benefits in Summer:

• Supports detoxification from sun exposure, sunscreen buildup, and environmental pollutants

• Reduces inflammation after outdoor activity and travel

• Improves sleep cycles often disrupted by longer daylight hours

• Boosts energy and mood, helping you stay active and uplifted

🌬️ Dry Salt Therapy for Clear Breathing and Allergy Relief

Summer brings pollen, dust, wildfire smoke, and other airborne irritants. Salt therapy (halotherapy) offers natural respiratory support, gently cleansing the lungs and sinuses while reducing inflammation and irritation.

Perfect for:

• Allergies and seasonal congestion

• Post-hike or post-travel recovery

• Deeper breathing during outdoor activities

• Skin concerns that flare up in the summer heat

🧊 Cold Plunge for Recovery & Resilience

Whether you're biking the trails, chasing kids at the pool, or hitting the mountain paths, your body craves recovery. The Cold Plunge is the ultimate summer refresher, offering an invigorating contrast that wakes up the nervous system and accelerates muscle repair.

Why it's amazing in the summer:

• Helps regulate core body temperature after being in the heat

• Enhances circulation and lymphatic flow

• Supports mood, energy, and mental clarity

• Pairs beautifully with sauna for contrast therapy

🌈 Infrared PEMF Mat for Grounding & Balance

Longer days and busy summer schedules can be exhilarating—but also draining. Our Infrared PEMF Mat supports your nervous system and overall energetic balance, helping you stay grounded even when your calendar is full.

Great for:

• Midday recharge between summer activities
