Why cool down after infrared sauna?

First of all, it is useful to understand why cooling down after an infrared sauna session is important. The infrared sauna ensures that your body is heated by the infrared rays. The infrared penetrates deep into the body and will improve blood circulation, among other things. This can cause the heart rate and blood pressure to increase.
