INFRARED SAUNA
An infrared sauna with Himalayan salt rocks combines deep-penetrating infrared heat therapy with the benefits of halotherapy (salt therapy), which proponents claim enhances detoxification, improves respiratory health, and promotes relaxation. The combination creates a unique, spa-like experience.
How It Works
- Infrared Heat: Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas use light waves to directly penetrate and warm the body's tissues at a lower ambient temperature ( 140°F to 150°F ) . This induces a deeper sweat at a cellular level, which helps in detoxification and provides relief for muscle and joint pain.
- Himalayan Salt: When the Himalayan salt elements (typically bricks, panels, or a salt bar) are heated by the sauna, they release negative ions into the air. This process, along with the salt's hygroscopic properties to purify the air, similar to the air quality near a waterfall or after a thunderstorm.
- Mineral Absorption: The heat opens the skin's pores, potentially allowing the body to absorb some of the over 84 trace minerals (including magnesium, potassium, and calcium) present in the salt through the skin.
Claimed Benefits
- Relaxation: The infrared heat in our state-of-the-art sauna promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Just one session will help you relax while you enjoy an invigorating deep tissue sweat plus The release of negative ions form the salt rock increases serotonin levels, which improve mood, reduce anxiety, and foster a deep sense of calm and well-being to leave you fully refreshed after each session.
- Pain and Muscle Relief: Infrared heat penetrates your 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.
- Muscle Recovery and Immunity: 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.
- 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 that using an infrared sauna just a couple of times a week lowers blood pressure
- Better Circulation: Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
- Anti-Aging: The near infrared wavelength is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.
- 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.
- Respiratory Relief: Inhaling the fine salt particles is thought to help clear mucus, reduce inflammation, and cleanse the airways, which may ease symptoms of asthma, allergies, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
- Skin Health: The salt's mineral content and the deep sweating process can help balance the skin's pH, promote collagen production, and reduce inflammation associated with conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
- Detoxification & Circulation: The combination of therapies is thought to enhance the body's natural detoxification processes through sweat, support the immune system, and improve blood flow and circulation.
