WHY INFRARED OVER TRADITONAL SAUNA?

If you haven’t tried an Infrared Sauna, you should give it a try. You may never want to get into a Traditional Sauna again. It is incredibly relaxing and feels so cleansing when you really start to get a good sweat.

After a sauna I always sleep better, my skin feels softer and more clear and my joints aren’ t as achy. I call it my sweaty meditation box. There is nothing to do but to sit and BE.

Traditional saunas makes it difficult to breathe and tolerate so you can’t stay in very long, but Infrared Saunas don’t heat the air around you. Instead they use infrared lamps that uses electromagnetic radiation to warm your body, heating your core more effectively, making the environment more tolerable and breathable.

Many people have reported better sleep, clearer skin, weight loss and a feeling of being ‘lighter’ and more relaxed.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNA

Hormesis

The term “Hormesis” refers to a small amount of stress that trains the body to get stronger. For example, exercise is a type of hormesis. Many health benefits of saunas are due to hormesis. 

Detoxification

Sweat better. It’s one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health. Sunlighten’s high-quality infrared promotes effortless, deep, productive sweat that detoxifies your body.

Immunity

Boost your immunity. The natural preventive properties of Sunlighten’s patented heating technology helps your cell health and overall immunity. Sunlighten saunas can penetrate deep into tissues and raise core body temperature to approximately 102°F (39°C). Although the sauna heats you up differently than a fever does, the increased body temperature can provide many benefits of fever, such as improving immune functions and preparing your body for the cold and flu season.

Heart Health

Strengthen your heart. Infrared therapy acts like a passive cardio workout, which helps your heart by improving circulation and even helping to reducing blood pressure.

Weight Loss

Increase metabolism. Burn calories. Far infrared wavelengths in all Sunlighten saunas create a passive workout, stimulating sluggish metabolism and improving fat burning.

CHROMOTHERAPY

Our SUNLIGHTEN sauna has chromotherapy, or color therapy. Chromotherapy is scientifically proven and is the use of the visible spectrum, or color light, to assist the body in healing the physical, mental and spiritual energy imbalance that tends to lead to disease.

Colors are all vibratory. Each of the color photons has its own wavelength and frequency. The body recognizes these waveforms and responds to them. The way we perceive color is because of the vibration it holds. Each color charges our cells a certain way as a result. It is important to acknowledge that each color gives us a certain amount of energy manifesting as creativity, motivation, happiness, or energy that relaxes our bodies, clears the mind of anxiety and stress, and gives us a good night of rest.

According to a critical analysis of chromotherapy by Samina T. Yousuf Azeemi,

“Light is responsible for turning on the brain and the body. Light enters the body through the eyes and skin. When even a single photon of light enters the eye, it lights up the entire brain. This light triggers the hypothalamus, which regulates all life-sustaining bodily functions, the autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and the pituitary (the body's master gland). The hypothalamus is also responsible for our body's biological clock. It also sends a message, by way of light, to the pineal organ, which is responsible for releasing one of our most important hormones, melatonin. The release of melatonin is directly related to light, darkness, colors, and the Earth's electromagnetic field. This necessary hormone affects every cell in the body. It turns on each cell's internal activities, allowing them to harmonize with each other and nature. The pineal gland is believed to be responsible for our feeling of oneness with the universe and sets the stage for the relationship between our inner being and the environment. If that relationship is harmonious, we are healthy, happy, and feel a sense of well-being. An imbalance in this relationship makes itself known in the form of disorders or disease in our physical, mental or emotional states. The pineal is our “light meter”, and receives information from the heavens above, to give us that sense of oneness with the universe, and from the Earth's electromagnetic field below to keep us grounded. A perfect balance is necessary to maintain our health and to keep us in harmony with the environment.”
