​Detoxification:
Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Core temperatures rise resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside. In our sauna, you will sweat out 80% water, 20% toxins. With a traditional sauna, you sweat 95-97% water and 5% mixture of salt and toxins.

Relaxation:
Infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. It helps restore normal cortisol levels, during your session you can nap, read or meditate while receiving an invigorating deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.

Lower Blood Pressure:
Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows benefits using an infrared sauna three times a week to lower blood pressure and plays a role in preventing arteriosclerosis.

Anti-Aging & Skin Purification:
The near infrared wavelength is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Experience a reduction in wrinkles and crow’s feet, as well as improved overall skin tone, including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness.

Cell Health:
Near infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenates the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system. A component of Infrared technology can quadruple the cell regenerating process.

Weight Loss:
Studies have shown that infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 400 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate,
causing the body to burn more calories. This is the best passive cardio work out that you can get! Sunlighten Sauna’s are the only sauna to have published studies on its weight loss effects.

Pain Relief:
Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time. Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, CFS and other chronic pain conditions show a significant improvement with pain levels.

Improved Circulation:
Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use— especially in the mid infrared range—can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Wound Healing:
Scientific research has concluded that near infrared therapy greatly enhances the skin’s healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increases to repair wounds and prevent infection.
