Infrared SAuna
Introduction to Infrared sauna
Nature brings us infrared light. It’s the healthy, healing rays that come from the sun. You’ve felt infrared your entire life when you sit next to a fire or feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Infrared also helps plants bloom and just the right amount helps stems grow fast and strong. Nature delivers infrared in sunlight. The sun emits a wide range of light, most of which we can’t actually see. Remember the first time you saw a prism transform light into a rainbow of visible light? Infrared is the invisible light just outside the prism next to red light, thus the name “infra (below)” + “red.” Sunlight is 52-55% infrared. It’s all the good parts of the sun’s healing light.
3 Waves, Multiple Health Benefits
Infrared comes in 3 distinct types. Because it’s on a spectrum, infrared has a range of waves in its own category. There are 3 types based on wave size, frequency, and the amount of energy they carry: near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far (FIR). Through tiny pinpoint-size waves, each infrared ray does something beautifully unique for our bodies, and nature. Memory tip: each one is named for how close it is to visible light.
Infrared is invisible. The evidence is in how your body responds to it.
Infrared’s healing rays are felt on our skin as warmth and are absorbed by our bodies to help them detoxify, relax, improve circulation, recover faster, sleep better, age well, and help us feel good. The proof of this activity in our body is evidenced in the increase in core body temperature that happens during a 30-minute infrared sauna session. Sunlighten’s saunas are clinically proven to raise core body temperature 3 degrees, which unleashes the most benefits to our health.
You can add a sauna session to your massage or Yomassage session, before or after. Or, you can come in by appointment just to use the sauna. Packages of sessions are available as well in 5 or 10 packs.
I highly recommend anything that Beth does. The infrared sauna and the medical cupping were new to me. I was energized, lost weight, and now I’m addicted.
