Our sauna has far and near infrared heaters, making it full spectrum, to gain all benefits. It is a 3 seater with lots of room to stretch or bring some friends and sweat it out together!

Full spectrum infrared sauna uses Far and Near infrared heaters, making it full spectrum. Use of both heaters is fairly new to the industry. Far and Near heaters penetrate deeper than traditional saunas. 

Far Infrared heaters are carbon-nano, ultra low EMF and penetrate 3 inches past the skin - eliminating toxins, promote weight loss and ease joint and muscle pain.

Near Infrared heaters use visable light and emit a hotter feel than the Far heaters. These heaters targets the cells and surface of the skin, treat damaged joints and cartilage, quickly heal small wounds, and help heal eye damage. This is because near infrared light has exclusive regenerative properties. Promotes production of ATP, your cells' main source of energy, into overdrive. Everything you do, from sleeping to running, requires ATP. The stimulated production of ATP allows for different body processes to speed up.

Our body reacts to the rising temperature, exposing us to heat stress, stimulating an artificial fever. A fever accelerates out cardiovascular and immune response promoting blood flow and creates white blood cells.

Saunas have been around for over 2000 years and are a great way to relax and improve your body physically and mentally. Aside from relaxation, a sauna's main goal is to detox your body.

There are two main types of saunas: traditional and infrared. Traditional saunas are heated with wood, electricity, or even water poured over hot rocks. Infrared saunas use infrared light.

The difference between the two is how they heat you. Traditional saunas heat the air causing you to sweat. This results in the detoxification and other health benefits. Some people find it harder to breathe in traditional saunas. Infrared saunas use infrared light therapy. This method heats you from the inside as opposed to heating you from the outside, while still detoxing your body. 

 

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BOOKING

MEDICATIONS

Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician or a pharmacist for possible changes in the drugs effect when the body is exposed to far-infrared waves or elevated body temperature. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Some over the counter drugs such as antihistamines may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke. 

 

WAXING

Individuals receiving waxing services should not use the sauna before or after a service as it may cause skin sensitivity and irritation; specifically after a waxing service when dead skin cells have been removed with the hair.

 

CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONS

Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or problems such as hypertension / hypotension, congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation or those who are taking medications, which might affect blood pressure, should exercise extreme caution when exposed to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output (blood flow) in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature. 

 

PREGNANCY

Pregnant women should consult a physician before using a sauna because fetal damage can occur with a certain elevated body temperature.

 

ALCOHOL / ALCOHOL ABUSE

Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “Sweat Out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore they may not realize it when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. 

 

CHRONIC CONDITIONS / DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH A REDUCED ABILITY TO SWEAT OR PERSPIRE

Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Individuals with these conditions should avoid sauna use. 

 

HEMOPHILIACS / INDIVIDUALS PRONE TO BLEEDING 

The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding. 

 

FEVER

Individuals should not use the sauna when they have a fever. 

 

INSENSITIVITY TO HEAT

An individual that has insensitivity to heat should not use a sauna. 

 

MENSTRUATION

Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase their menstrual flow. Some women endure this process to gain the pain relief commonly associated with their cycle whereas others simply choose to avoid saunas use during that time of the month. 

 

JOINT INJURY 

If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after an injury or until the hot and swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind. Vigorous heating is strictly contraindicated in cases of enclosed infections be they dental, in joints or in any other tissues. 

 

IMPLANTS

Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect far-infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system, nevertheless you should consult your surgeon prior to using an infrared sauna. Certainly, the usage of the sauna must be discontinued if you experience pain near any such implants. Silicone does absorb far-infrared energy, so implanted silicone or silicone prostheses for nose or ear replacement may be warmed by the infrared waves. Since silicone melts at over 200°C (392°F), it should not be adversely affected by the usage of the sauna. It is still advised that you check with your surgeon and possibly a representative from the implant manufacturer to be certain.
