Introduction: Who We Are

At CanSurvive Australia, we are committed to supporting people living with cancer through evidence-informed complementary wellness options. One option we offer is infrared sauna therapy, using the advanced Sunlighten mPulse Aspire system.

1. What Is an Infrared Sauna?

If you’ve never used an infrared sauna, here’s the basics:
Traditional saunas heat the air around you to very high temperatures (65–90 °C), which can feel overwhelming and stressful for those with health challenges.

Infrared saunas work differently—they use light energy to warm your body directly at a much gentler temperature (around 40–60 °C).

Infrared therapy uses three wavelengths:

  • Near Infrared (NIR) – Supports skin health, wound healing, and cellular repair.
  • Mid Infrared (MIR) – Targets muscles and joints, improving circulation and easing pain.
  • Far Infrared (FIR) – Penetrates deepest, promoting detoxification and gentle whole-body warming.

This combination is called full-spectrum infrared therapy, and it’s designed to deliver the benefits of heat without the strain of extreme temperatures.

2. Why Do People Use Infrared Saunas?

Infrared sauna therapy is widely used for:

  • Detoxification – Encourages sweating to help eliminate toxins.
  • Pain Relief – Eases muscle and joint discomfort.
  • Stress Reduction – Promotes relaxation and better sleep.
  • Circulation Support – Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery.
  • Skin Health – Stimulates collagen for anti-aging benefits.

For people with cancer, these benefits can help manage side effects like fatigue, stress, and muscle tension. Important: Infrared sauna is not a cancer treatment—it’s a complementary wellness option to support comfort and recovery.

4. Benefits for Cancer Patients

Infrared sauna therapy can:

  • Ease fatigue and pain – Gentle heat improves circulation and releases endorphins.
  • Support detoxification – Helps flush treatment by-products when exercise is difficult.
  • Promote relaxation – Reduces stress and anxiety, supporting emotional wellbeing.
  • Improve circulation – Enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery for recovery.

5. Safety and Precautions

According to Cancer Council Queensland, complementary therapies should always be discussed with your oncology team. Infrared sauna use is not recommended during active chemotherapy or radiation, or if you have:

  • Neutropenia (low immunity)
  • Lymphoedema or recent lymph node removal
  • Uncontrolled heart conditions
  • Pregnancy

Always hydrate, bring a towel, and stop immediately if you feel dizzy or unwell.
