Infrared Sauna
Why Use an Infrared Sauna?
Infrared Saunas typically reach 120- 140° F, delivering the best therapeutic benefits. Traditional saunas heat the air to 150-195° F, which can be very uncomfortable and not deliver additional benefit. In fact, traditional sauna sessions are generally cut short.
According to Dr. Melissa Young, Functional Medicine Specialist (commenting on the difference in temperature between traditional and infrared saunas): "Infrared saunas can definitely be much more comfortable for people while delivering the same sort of benefits.”
Wavelengths from the sauna penetrate the skin about 4cm and increase the body temperature without the need to heat the air around you. Infrared panels used inside an infrared sauna easily penetrate human tissue, heating up your body before heating up the air, creating a more comfortable experience.
Our sauna delivers 6 carbon heaters: 2 on the back wall, 1 on each side, 1 on the front of the bench, and 1 on the floor, and has been EMF-tested and proven to emit extremely low levels of EMFs.
Chromotherapy in 7 colors is also available. Chromotherapy, also known as color light therapy, is relaxing and therapeutic and can help restore the body’s balance. Chromotherapy relies on the concept that different colors of light each vibrate differently. The human body can respond to this vibration in different ways. Depending on the color used, one can receive certain physiological benefits and more.
