Infrared Sauna Health Benefits
Sweating is the body's safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Far IR sauna use causes a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.
Heavy metals are sweat out through the skin. The resulting sweat is detoxifying, removing toxins from the cells. IR therapy has many benefits for overall health. It helps to detoxify the cells, improve circulation, and boost the immune system.
Health Benefits:
Lower Blood Pressure
Our Sunlighten sauna induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, helping reduce BP and increase circulation.
Sunlighten saunas are backed by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart.

We provide the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.

Near IR therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate 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.

Weight Loss
Studies have shown that our sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing you to burn more calories. In fact, a 2009 study showed Sunlighten far infrared therapy to lower weight and waist circumference in just a three-month period.

Health Benefits:
Relieve Pain
Unlike Traditional Saunas, Infrared light therapy penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve minor aches, muscle soreness, and chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, while speeding up recovery time. A 2013 study conducted at the Auburn University at Montgomery showed that Sunlighten 3-in-1 treatments can increase flexibility up to 3x.

Improve Circulation
Sunlighten sauna treatments are like giving your body a passive cardiovascular workout. Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. IR Light Therapy can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.
