Infrared Sauna

Why Sauna?

Saunas can quickly and effectively help you get back to feeling amazing again.  Sauna therapy has been around for centuries as a way to detoxify your body, but did you know that full spectrum infrared saunas can go even further by heating up your body’s core to a cellular level, where most toxins are stored?

​

Infrared’s deep penetrating heat is what most effectively stimulates metabolic activity, which in turn triggers the release of stored toxins through sweat, as well as through the liver and kidneys.

​

Sweating is a critical human detox function, yet most people don’t sweat regularly or enough.  Sweating helps the body make use of its ability to use the skin to eliminate toxins.  The body is very effective at eliminating toxins this way, but it only works if we make the body sweat.

​

Worse, many of us sit at desks all day, and in air-conditioned indoor environments.  In these conditions, the skin stores the toxins with little opportunity to eliminate them.

​

To combat these effects, infrared sauna systems help us to purify our bodies from the inside out.

Infrared Saunas 

vs.

Traditional Saunas

​

• Traditional hot rock and steam saunas operate at extremely high temperatures in excess of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.  This kind of heat is uncomfortable for many people, and it is not necessarily effective as it simply heats the air around you.

• Infrared light, experienced as heat, is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum and is necessary for all living things. Far infrared has the ability to penetrate human tissue providing a deep, detoxifying sweat.  

Here are a few guidelines for safe and effective sauna use:

• Pre sauna session, hydrate with at least 8 ounces of water to prepare your body for an increase in core body temperature. It is best to maintain peak hydration throughout the day by drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water.

• To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 10-15 minute sessions at 100°F every other day. The optimal sauna experience occurs between 100° and 130°

• Gradually increase session length towards 40 minute daily sessions at the optimal temperature range

• Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

• Wipe down with our lavender-infused cool cloths after your session to remove the toxins that you have released from your skin.

• Post sauna session, drink at least 24 ounces of water or electrolytes to rehydrate.

• You can follow up later with a refreshing shower at home.
