Infrared Sauna
About the Appointment
Infrared is an invisible part of the suns light that has the ability to penetrate human tissue giving us a soothing and natural warmth. Infrared is naturally occurring and it is the basis for our sauna therapy. Our M-Pulse full spectrum infrared sauna is different from traditional saunas. We do not use hot rocks or steam or hot air like traditional saunas. The hot air makes the experience unbearably hot and difficult to create. Our infrared sauna heats the body directly instead of heating the air. and for that reason, it is 7 times more effective for detoxification. Infrared heat is completely safe and healthy for all living things. You can be exposed to infrared for hours without the risk of burning. Some cheaper saunas expose you to EMF as a by-product of creating infrared but our saunas are ultra-low EMF. The basswood saunas are hypoallergenic and no harmful chemical are used in the assembly of the sauna.
Special Instructions
How to prepare your infrared sauna session Stay Hydrated!Drink, Drink, Drink at least a pint to 3 pints of water before, during and after your sauna session. Wait at least 1 – 2 hours after eating before beginning a far infrared sauna session. This allows your body to attain the best overall results, since blood is not being diverted for digestion. No skin lotions. Do not use skin lotions or oils before or during your sauna session as this will inhibit sweating and clog up pores. Sauna Apparel. Lightweight shorts and tee shirt are ok, swim suits are better, but please keep your bottoms on. Towels, Towels, and more towels. How many towels you bring into the sauna is up to you. You will probably appreciate having one towel to sit on or lay on. One towel to help wipe off and absorb perspiration as it accumulates on your body so that you sweat more. Cool Down. Don't rush out into a shower. Allow yourself to relax and cool down while your body continues to perspire. Your core body temperature has been raised and even when you’re done with your session, sweating will continue. Healing Reactions are temporary symptoms associated with eliminating toxic substances, healing chronic infections or metabolic changes in the body. They are an important function of all deep healing methods. These short lived “flare-ups” are generally mild and are positive sign that deep healing is occurring. Symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, odors, and fatigue. If you are experiencing a healing reaction, drink water and lie down and rest until the symptoms abate. No Sweat:You may not sweat a lot during your first 2-3 sauna sessions. This is normal for many people, as they haven’t had a recent history of sweating, and it takes a few sessions to “retrain” the body/ lymph system to do what comes naturally. Over time, you will begin to sweat more quickly and at a lower temperature setting as your body adjusts to your regular sauna routine. Listen to your Body:Take care not to overheat during your first few sessions. If you feel lightheaded, have a queasy stomach, or start to get a headache, terminate session immediately. As the body continues to adjust, sweating can increase dramatically and body temperature regulation becomes more effective.
