Human Oversight & Editorial Process

Some content on Sauna Sage is drafted using AI-assisted tools to help structure and summarize complex research. However, every article is carefully reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by our editorial team before it’s published. We use AI to enhance productivity — not to replace expertise or human judgment.

At Sauna Sage, we prioritize transparency and trust. Our recommendations are guided by research, verified user reviews, and expert insights — not by automation or advertising. While we use AI tools for drafting and idea generation, all final content is curated, edited, and approved by humans.

Editorial Integrity & Updates

We update core content at least twice a year or whenever new product models or research emerge. We also welcome suggestions from readers — many of our guides started as user questions.

Our Commitment Moving Forward

At Sauna Sage, our work doesn’t stop once a post is published. We actively monitor new research, update buyer guides as products evolve, and listen to feedback from our readers to keep improving. Infrared sauna technology and wellness science are always advancing — so we treat our content like a living resource, not a static snapshot.

We’re also committed to expanding our coverage beyond product reviews. In the coming months, you’ll see more real-user stories, expert interviews, and data-driven guides on how to get the most out of your sauna at home. Whether you’re a daily user or just beginning to explore heat therapy, we want to be your trusted companion at every stage.

Our Readers Come First — Always

At Sauna Sage, we write with one audience in mind: you. Whether you’re comparing brands, exploring sauna benefits, or deciding if an infrared unit is worth the investment, our content is built to answer real-world questions with clarity and precision.

We take pride in going beyond generic product lists. Every article, guide, and recommendation is built from verified buyer feedback, medical studies, and direct insights from wellness communities like Reddit, YouTube, and consumer review forums.

This isn’t a content farm. We don’t outsource writing. And we never use AI to generate reviews or rankings.

Instead, we treat each post as a wellness resource — designed to reduce overwhelm, spark confidence, and help readers take action. If a sauna doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t get featured. If research is unclear, we say so.

That’s our promise: every article on Sauna Sage is written by real people, with real research, for real readers.
