INFRARED SAUNA THERAPY

Infrared sauna therapy is a wellness treatment that uses infrared light to generate heat, providing a more targeted and effective way to raise your body temperature compared to traditional saunas. Instead of heating the air around you, infrared saunas use infrared light waves to penetrate your skin and warm your body directly, allowing you to sweat at lower temperatures. This can make the experience more comfortable, while still offering the same detoxifying and health-promoting benefits.

 

There are three types of infrared waves used in these saunas: near, mid, and far-infrared. Each type penetrates the body at different depths, delivering various benefits. Near-infrared is primarily absorbed by the skin’s surface and can help with wound healing and skin health. Mid-infrared penetrates deeper and is effective for improving circulation and easing joint and muscle pain. Far-infrared penetrates the deepest, supporting detoxification, increasing metabolism, and providing deep muscle relaxation.

WHY INFRARED?

Infrared is found in nature and is necessary light for life.

 

  • ​Nature brings us infrared light. It’s the healthy, healing rays that come from the sun. You’ve felt infrared your entire life. When you sit next to a fire or feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Infrared also helps plants bloom - just the right amount helps stems grow fast and strong. All living things need it to grow and flourish.

  • Sunlight is 52-55% infrared. It’s all the good parts of the sun’s healing light.

  • The experience of an infrared treatment is similar to sunbathing, giving you that wonderful natural warmth. Unlike sunbathing, infrared heat therapy is completely healthy and safe. You can relax in an infrared sauna and it will never cause your skin to burn.

 

Infrared is part of a natural spectrum.

​

  • Visible light and infrared are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, a continuum of light waves organized by how they interact with matter. Scientists explain infrared as a safe, gentle form that brings many good, healthy things to earth and human beings.

  • Infrared heats the body directly rather than simply heating the air.

  • Infrared penetrates human tissue, and the energy it delivers is just the right nudge cells need to stimulate warmth, growth and release.

  • Infrared is effective at a low, soothing temperature.

  • It is completely healthy and safe for all living things. It’s even used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.

INFRARED SAUNA HEALTH BENEFITS

​

Red light/near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths help your feel even more amazing after a massage or facial, workout, or even as a stand-alone treatment. The health benefits increase with regular use over time.
 

Detoxification

​

  • Sweat out the toxins. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and hormone disruptors. With the deepest penetration, our saunas' infrared helps increase blood flow and perspiration.

 

Weight Loss

​

  • Increasing core body temperature affects circulation like cardio exercise. It stimulates sluggish metabolism and helps eliminate toxins that cause fat storage, making sauna a great support to weight loss efforts and weight management.

 

Heart Health

​

  • Improve heart health. Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, temporarily reducing blood pressure, and improving circulation. Sunlighten’s far infrared technology has been clinically proven to temporarily reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

 

Anti-aging

 

  • Reverse aging and renew skin. The infrared LEDs have been shown to increase collagen and elastin, improving overall skin appearance. Increased circulation also contributes to faster cell regeneration, which helps with appearance of scars. Regular use may also help reduce cellulite trapped beneath the skin.

 

Pain Relief

 

  • Repair muscles faster. Many professional athletes use Sunlighten saunas to recover from their training and injuries. Infrared helps deliver more oxygen to cells for faster repair and pain relief.

 

Immunity

 

  • Heating the body from inside can improve the function of the immune system just like a fever can. Therefore, regular Sunlighten sauna use can help reduce the incidences of cold and flu, or help you recover faster from illness.

 

WHAT IS CHROMOTHERAPY?

 

Ancient cultures developed medical systems based on energetic principles of the universe and the somatic cellular body. The Sanskrit principle of Ayurveda describes of the wheels of life or Chakras as originating from subtle energy known as Prana. This type of subtle energy can be modulated by electromagnetic field/visible light to stimulate the brain/nervous system, cellular tissues, and bodily organs. Visible light is emitted in the form of photons that are absorbed through the skin and the active receptors in the eyes. Once absorbed, proteins or photopigments are activated at specific wavelengths to produce chemical reactions in the body. These reactions can produce various therapeutic biochemical benefits depending on their wavelength.

Certainly, here's a professional color-coded bullet list outlining theakras, their corresponding body parts, and what they represent inotherapy:

- Red: Root Chakra - Corresponds to the of the spine and represents grounding, stability, and security.

CHROMOTHERAPY / COLOR THERAPY BENEFITS

Our bodies need the sun’s light to live. And that light can be broken down into a seven-color spectrum. An imbalance of any of those colors can manifest itself in physical and mental symptoms. Alternative medicine practitioners who use chromotherapy relate the seven colors of the spectrum to specific body areas. With regular infrared sauna color light therapy, you can help balance your body’s energy wherever it is lacking. Chromotherapy sauna benefits include physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. Our Sauna provides a combination of the seven-color spectrum to include 16 colors, four color-changing modes, and four brightness/intensity settings. The lights are soft and gentle and can be controlled by a remote.​
