Infrared sauna sweat contains only 80–85% water, with 15–20% composed of cholesterol plus measurable sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia, and uric acid. Traditional sauna sweat is approximately 97% water and contains around 30 identifiable toxins, driven primarily by thermal mechanisms. The difference in sweat composition between infrared and traditional saunas reflects a fundamentally different physiological process, not simply a more intense version of traditional sweating.
