Sauna Therapy
Infrared sauna therapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses deliberate heat exposure to enhance health and detoxification.
A far infrared sauna is different than a conventional sauna because the far infrared wavelengths directly penetrate your body and do not heat up the air to the same degree by convection as in a conventional sauna. The beneficial effects of a far infrared sauna are produced at a much lower temperature, usually in the range of 115-150 ºF (46-65ºC) while the temperature range in a conventional sauna is usually between 180-200 ºF. This allows one to breathe and be more comfortable while still sweating.
Your sauna therapy includes personal towels, filtered water, custom electrolytes, use of contrast shower/bathroom facilities and our mandatory deep clean of the sauna before your session.
Your first session will include support from a staff member to get you all set up for your deluxe sauna experience.
Our sauna is a “medical grade” sauna. It was produced without the use of glues or any volatile organic compounds. This is important when using heat exposure for health purposes as you don’t want to be inhaling volatile compounds (chemicals known to have a negative impact on the body) as the sauna’s temperature rises. Our sauna is also below Swedish standards (world standard) for Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) levels. Because saunas require a lot of power to be converted, this process can create a lot of EMF’s if not done with care. These EMF’s have undetermined effects on our health. many infrared saunas have EMF levels that often measure in the range of 30 to 100 milligauss at point of body contact. Our sauna measures 0.3mG, below the standard mentioned above of 2mG.
Our sauna also uses high quality carbon fiber heaters utilizing Japanese technology. These carbon fiber heaters provide a much larger surface area of the heater close to the body and more consistent heating. The lower surface temperature of the carbon fiber heaters is also more comfortable and has the benefit of increasing the micron wavelength into the beneficial far infrared range.
