Increasing your core body temperature during an infrared sauna session is similar to the effect of cardiovascular exercise. This process stimulates a sluggish metabolism and helps your body eliminate toxins that can contribute to fat storage, making it an excellent addition to any weight management program.

Clinically proven to temporarily reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, regular use of our infrared sauna can be a great way to support your cardiovascular system.

Infrared heat penetrates joints and muscles, which can help relieve soreness, improve flexibility, and speed up tissue regeneration. This makes it a popular recovery tool for athletes and anyone looking to soothe their body after physical activity.

Step into the sauna to sweat out stress and find your calm. The gentle heat helps balance cortisol levels, relax muscles, and relieve tension throughout your body, leading to a profound sense of peace and well-being.

As the infrared heat induces a deep sweat, it helps open your pores, leading to a clearer and more refreshed complexion. Regular sessions can improve the overall appearance and health of your skin.

Using the sauna as part of your evening routine can help promote relaxation and create a healthy circadian rhythm, helping you achieve a deeper, more restorative night’s sleep.

The temporary increase in core body temperature, similar to a fever, activates and strengthens your immune system, helping to stimulate heat shock proteins that can deter illness.

To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as
possible. A bamboo carbon body wrap, cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are perfect options. Most
businesses require clients to wear clothing or a towel to keep the sauna clean. We offer bath towels
and body wraps infused with CELLIANT that reflect the body’s infrared back into the body, enhancing
and extending the benefits of infrared before, during, and after their session.

One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do
it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.

Sweat levels are different for everyone. Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few
sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much. If you are hydrated properly and want a sweat boost, try our Pure Sweat amplifying cream. Pure Sweat can triple your sweat and increase circulation.

No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.

No. Infrared heaters are located on the floor, front, back, and side wall panels. The chromotherapy
lights are not infrared.

There are various studies on the use of infrared for a multitude of health benefits. Specifically, Sunlighten
infrared saunas have been shown to increase core temperature for detoxification, temporarily lower
blood pressure, and increase flexibility. Many other studies have shown infrared saunas to increase skin
health, aid in relaxation and mental health, and support reduction of waist circumference. These studies can be found on Sunlighten’s website via the Light Science research library.

The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. When taking a sauna session with
a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. A general rule of
thumb is one minute inside your sauna per year of age for the child, but always accompanied by an
adult. And remember to keep you and your children hydrated, even if you don’t see them sweating.

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.

The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.

A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. A deep tissue massage will have deeper pressure, but should not be painful. Always communicate with your therapist. Lotion or massage cream is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. This also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting. Your therapist wants your session to be exactly what you would like, so don’t be afraid to speak up if the pressure is not what you would like or if something is uncomfortable.

There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you and tailor your massage session for what you need specifically on that particular day.  Every session is different depending on the needs of each client, so always share your goal for the session with your therapist.

Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.

Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.

Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.
