WHY WE LOVE INFRARED THERAPY

HOW DOES INFRARED THERAPHY WORK?

The sun produces a combination of visible and invisible light, and one of those invisible spectrums is infrared rays. These are the wavelenghts that make the sun feel warm. We feel it as heat because the energy from infrared light gets our bodies working, which is what we feel as warmth. The infrared light goes deep into your tissues, muscles and cells, doing you good like the sun would, without causing UV damage.
In our infrared saunas, we use infrared light as a treatment to promote healing in the body.

WHY ARE INFRARED SAUNA GOOD FOR YOU?

Our infrared sauna use near, mid and far-infrared waves which gently heat the body from within and allow you to reap the benefits of sweating. These waves are able to deeply penetrate the skin, muscles, joints and tissues to improve blood circulation and oxigen flow. They help to detoxify the body by removing impurities at a cellular level where our bodies store waste and harmful toxins. Though tiny pinpoint-size waves, each infrared ray does something beautiful unique for our bodies. Whether you're a first-time infrared user or a seasoned veteran, expact to sweat like crazy and feel amazing after. Though it's one of the most relaxing ways you can break a sweat and burn calories, the heat can be particularly intense for newbies. So don't forget to HYDRATE, HYDRATE & HYDRATE pre and post sauna.

You will quickly start to notice how incorporating an infrared sauna into your self-care routine can aid in your healing. Whether you use it for detoxification, skin health, muscle health & recovery, immunity, or simply as a tool to slow down. Our full spectrum heaters emit 1/3 near-infrared, 1/3 mid-infrared and 1/3 far-infrared wavelengths, hence the term full-spectrum. Near, mid, adn far infrared are the three types of infrared radiation and live on the invisible light spectrum. While far infrared radiation is responsible for the majority of health advantages, including all three wavelengths adds further benefits.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NIR ~ MIR ~ FIR WAVELENGHTS

|NIR| Near Infrared Rays
is the shortest infrared wavelength that just penetrates the skin's surface to remove toxins such as dead skin cells, oils, dirt and bacteria. NIR can promote cellular health, skin renewal, wound healing and tissue growth through stimulation of collagen and elastin production leaving you with a feeling of deep radiance and rejuvenation.

|MIR|
penetrates deeper into your body's soft tissue where inflammation occurs. By expanding your blood vessels and increasing circulation, MIR allows for more oxygen to reach areas of your body that are injured or inflamed. This will also help your body burn calories and supports a healthy weight loss.

|FIR| Far Infrared Rays
offers the longest wavelength in the infrared spectrum. This reaches deep into your body where toxins are stored and as your core body temperature slowly increases, toxins will be released in a deep and detoxifying sweat.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING IN AN INFRARED SAUNA ?

DETOXIFICATION
In comparison to traditional saunas where only about 3 percent of toxins are removed, using an infrared sauna will eliminate 20 percent of toxins. Coming into your recovery session, the infrared rays gently heat the body and increases the core temperature from within. This allows for a deeper penetration to a cellular level, making your body disperse and release haeavy metals and toxins, assisting in a deep detoxification during your sweat.

SKIN HEALING
Infrared saunas have been shown to stimulate both collagen and elastin production, which significantly reduces the appearence of fine lines and wrinkles in your skin. And oh, how we love that post-sauna glow! As the dermis and epidermis skin layers are healed with infrared therapy, you will experience skin renewal, wound healing and tissue growth helping to restore your radiance. Sweating also improves blood circulation and will help unblock pores and reduce blemishes.

WEIGHT LOSS
Infrared saunas have many weight loss benefits due to their ability to raise the body's core temperature, increase metabolism and provide an effective way of removing toxins and impurities from the body. The body sweats in an infrared sauna, enabling it to get rid of unused fluids which is beneficial for weight loss. Additionally, an increase in calories burn through accelerated metabolism provides weight loss benefits as well.

STRESS RELIEF
Our 45-minute sessions will quickly become your favourite way to slow down during a busy week as it helps you to tap into a state of deep presence and relaxation. Infrared saunas help to lower the level of cortisol in the body, the chemical associated with stress and tension. Sitting in an infrared sauna causes your endorphins to be released. Which is your body's natural pain medicine.

STILL REAPING ALL THE BENEFITS ?

RECOVERY
Infrared saunas have, for decades, been used for relieving aches, muscle and joint pain as well as aiding in speeding up muscle recovery after an injury. The light emitted in infrared sauna therapy penetrates deep below the skin's surface. This provides access to the muscle tissue stressed during strength training sessions. One of the primary "toxins" created with strength training is lactic acid. If excess lactic acid is not reduced, sore muscles result. Increasing blood flow to the muscle decreases this likelihood.

DEEP SLEEP
As you start to feel your muscles relaxing, your shoulders unclenching and your body winding down you will also start to notice the positive effects this will have on your sleeping patterns as well as your overall quality of sleep. The production of melatonin, also known as the sleep hormone is also stimulated during your sauna session.

IMMUNE BOOSTING
Infrared saunas strengthen your immune system by increasing white blood cell production, triggering system, releasing blood circulation, regenerating cells, and promoting relaxation. As your core body temperature is slowly rising during your sweat it helps to fight off viruses and infections that can't survive under these temperatures.

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
Sweating and relaxing in an infrared sauna can help reset the nervous system, and give your adrenal glands a much needed break. This is because you're actively helping to restore control to the parasympathetic nervous system, or your rest and digest mode, by tuning into a deeper relaxed state of being.
