Why I Swear by Infrared Sauna for My Detox + Daily Reset Routine?
That’s EASY!
If you’ve been following Toxic Free with KB for a while, you know I’m all about finding practical, sustainable ways to support the body’s natural ability to heal, detox, and thrive.
One of my favorite tools that I return to again and again? Infrared sauna.
This isn’t just another wellness trend for me. Infrared sauna has become a non-negotiable part of my routine—and for good reason.
A Safe Space to Sweat (And I Mean Really Sweat)
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use gentle light waves to heat your body from the inside out. That means a deep, detoxifying sweat—without the stifling heat.
I started using infrared sauna during my mold healing protocol. My system needed a gentle yet powerful way to eliminate toxins without overstressing my body. The results? Noticeable. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, too.
Calms My Nervous System Like Nothing Else
This part’s huge for me. The soothing heat feels like a warm hug for my nervous system – like, no joking around here! On those days when life feels loud and overwhelming, I can step into the sauna and drop in. It’s 30 minutes of peace (sometimes I go full throttle at 45 minutes!), grounding, and reconnection with my body.
When we talk about toxic-free living, we’re not just talking about products. We’re talking about stress, trauma, and overstimulation—things that don’t come in plastic bottles but are just as harmful. The sauna helps me clear all of that.
My Glow Secret
Let’s not ignore the vanity benefits—I glow after a session. My skin feels clearer, my eyes brighter, and my mood lighter. Infrared sauna boosts circulation and collagen production, making it a go-to before events or shoots. But beyond that, it’s the long-term benefits I care most about: reduced inflammation, immune support, better sleep, and hormone balance.
It’s My Daily Detox (Without a Juice Cleanse)
Here are some fun facts that I geek out on: Infrared sauna is one of the most effective ways to release heavy metals, pesticides, mold toxins, and everyday pollutants that build up in our bodies. As someone who’s deeply aware of the hidden toxins in our environment, I love that I can show up for my body in such a tangible way.
I pair my sauna sessions with hydration (clean water + minerals always), dry brushing beforehand, and sometimes a cold shower OR plunge in the pool or ocean afterward to really boost the benefits.
Ready to Try It?
If you’re sauna-curious, start slow—maybe 2-3 times a week for 20–30 minutes. Listen to your body. Make it your ritual. I love to meditate, journal, connect with my husband or just breathe deeply in the sauna. No multitasking, no pressure—just presence.
I use and love Sunlighten – I have the 4 person mPulse Discoverer in Basswood – and yes, you can use my code TOXICFREEKB for a little something off (it’s actually up to $1400 OFF!!!) if you’re thinking about bringing one into your home.
This practice has been a game-changer for me. Not just in how I look, but in how I feel—clearer, calmer, and more connected.
And that, to me, is what toxic-free living is all about. Getting back to my WHOLE SELF!
