Infrared Sauna

What is infrared?

Infrared waves are a type of light that is not visible to the naked eye. Sunlight is a combination of visible and invisible light. All the colors of the rainbow are present in sunlight as well as both infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths.

Full spectrum refers to the entire infrared spectrum: near infrared, mid infrared and far infrared. 

Near Infrared is the shortest wavelength, and will be absorbed just below the surface of the skin creating a sweat that promotes healing and revitalization.

Mid infrared is a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the body’s soft tissue increasing circulation, releasing oxygen to reach injured areas.

Far infrared is the longest wavelength which penetrates the fat cells causing vasodilation, where the fat cells vibrate to expel toxins, resulting in the greatest levels of detoxification and stimulate your metabolism to aid in weight-loss.

How does infrared work?

In an infrared sauna, the infrared is heating your body directly and 20% of the heat is heating the air. The idea is to increase thermal energy in the body so you want the infrared on your front core and your back core.

The infrared heat increases thermal energy and temporarily stimulates your lymphatic system, immune system and your cardiovascular system. Your body's response to that is to sweat profusely.

In addition to the infrared heat triggering a profuse sweat, the water in our body also resonates with far infrared heat and this also helps with the detoxification process.

Why Detox?

There is scientific evidence showing that drugs, preservatives, pesticides, and other pollutants remain stored in the body long after exposure. When toxins are deposited in fat storage sites this becomes much more complicated. The only way to remove toxins from the fat storage sites is to mobilize the toxic fat with heat-stress (sauna) which is an effective method. 

What makes our sauna different?

The sauna is made of basswood, which has almost no odor and is one of the only woods not considered a “sensitizer” for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. Additionally, the heaters Clearlight uses to make the make the saunas are the most effective and safest infrared heaters available. They are the ONLY infrared sauna that cancels out both EMF and ELF. Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) are energy waves that come from everyday things such as power lines, radar and microwave towers, television and computer screens, motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, cell phones, electric blankets, house wiring and hundreds of other common electrical devices.
