What is Infrared Sauna therapy?

Unlike traditional sauna that heat the air, infrared saunas use infrared light technology to heat the body at the core. As a result, you sweat much more but at a lower temperature. When the infrared light penetrates the cells of your tissue, joints, and muscles, the body releases built-up toxins through the skin, the body’s largest organ.

In addition to enhanced detoxification, the infrared sauna can help with blood circulation, joint and muscle pain, relaxation, immune support, skin issues, weight loss, and wound healing.

How Infrared Light works

Using patented LED panels, the Sunlighten® infrared sauna provides the full spectrum of infrared light. This powerful combination is achieved by fusing three waves of infrared light — near, mid, and far infrared light.

Mid-infrared (MIR) light and far-infrared (FIR) light are optimized for the best absorption for relaxation and health benefits. MIR light best penetrates tissues and joints, and generates the most heat from inside the body rather than the air. FIR light has been clinically shown to increase core body temperature up ~5.4℉, which is best for increasing sweat and detoxification. Near-infrared (NIR) light is best at penetrating the skin (3mm) and activating the mitochondria.

Infrared Light usage

Infrared saunas do not generate unbearable levels of heat, allowing you to stay in the saunas for longer and reap more overall health benefits. Our sessions are approximately 35 minutes and the temperature is generally set to between 110-130℉ according to your comfort.

Health Benefits

Immune support

Heating the body from inside can improve the function of the immune system just like fever can. Therefore, regular sauna use can help reduce the incidences of cold and flu.

De-stress

Enjoy the euphoria and relaxation from endorphin release, just like after exercising, sweating, or even meditating in the gentle radiant heat. The therapeutic heat will leave you refreshed after each session as well as help you relax and calm your mind for a great night of sleep.

Anti-aging

Heat-shock responses are like exercises that help your body function as new. In addition, stimulating your metabolism with our near-infrared spectrum can improve skin renewal and slow down aging.

Detoxification

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.

Increased metabolism

Our specific near-infrared wavelength stimulates sluggish metabolism and improves fat burning for energy. In addition, increasing core body heat can increase calorie burn, similar to exercise. Infrared saunas can also help with the elimination of toxins that cause fat storage.

Heart health

Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, reducing blood sugar, and improving circulation. In addition, Sunlighten saunas have been clinically shown to reduce blood pressure.

Muscle tension

Infrared therapy can increase blood flow and reduce inflammation. Sunlighten infrared saunas can best penetrate tissues to relieve aches and pain. Far-infrared sauna therapy has been shown to help with pain from fibromyalgia and autoimmune conditions, such as lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
