Infrared light will penetrate several inches into the body and create heat, resulting in a whole-body hyperthermia (increased body temperature) on a cellular level to make you sweat.

Sweating is the best way to rid the body of toxins (toxic drugs, pollutants, pesticides and heavy metals), which in turn improves the immune system and overall health.

Sweating is also a great way to increase metabolic rate and reduce stress -- it’s like a workout without the work (burning 600+ calories per session.)

The infrared sauna helps you detoxify, improves circulation, lymphatic drainage and cardiovascular health, reduces pain, increases your metabolic rate to jumpstart weight loss, rejuvenates your skin, and reduces stress and cortisol levels.

Obviously with all the sweating, you want to make sure to hydrate! Please come to each session well-hydrated.

Drinking water is available in the sauna therapy room.

Infrared Sauna use is not recommended for people who are pregnant, children under 12, those who cannot handle temperature extremes,those with hemophilia, fever, insensitivity to heat, and those under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

You can wear a bathing suit or a towel. You will be in a private room alone or with a known partner.

Nope! Invisible light heats the body, not the surrounding air, so it is more comfortable and allows you to enjoy a longer session than with traditional steam saunas.

Chromotherapy Explained

Chromotherapy, also known as color light therapy, is a relaxing and therapeutic process that helps to restore the body’s balance and induces other benefits due to the application of colored lights. Chromotherapy can be enjoyed in an infrared sauna that comes equipped with the lamps required to produce light in different colors or as a stand-alone therapy.

Chromotherapy relies on the concept that different colors of light vibrate slightly differently. This makes intuitive sense as different colors are, after all, merely different wave forms of photons that vibrate or reflect off surfaces in unique ways.

However, the human body is thought to respond in different ways when it comes into contact with certain colors of light. Depending on the colors used, you can induce certain conditions, receive certain physiological benefits, and more.

The exact benefits of certain colors during a chromotherapy session can vary from person to person. But in general, the below effects are typically associated with different concentrated colors of light.

Red is thought to raise blood pressure, increased breathing rate, and increase blood circulation

Pink can be a cleansing and strengthening color, particularly for arteries or veins

Orange being a mixture of both yellow and red, can activate and eliminate localized fat deposits and may assist with conditions like asthma

Yellow is a strong color that can strengthen the body and activate various internal tissues as well as purify the skin and strengthen the nervous system

Green many people find green to be a harmonious color. As a result, it can provide mental health benefits and calm you down at the end of a long, stressful day

Blue is another calming color that may help to lubricate the joints and address stress. It may also provide benefits such as releasing nervous tension and resisting infections

Violet can be a calming color as well, helping to soothe organs, relax muscles, and induce a meditative state.
