Infrared Sauna

What is an infrared sauna?

An infrared sauna uses infrared light — the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum — to penetrate the skin and provide soothing natural warmth. 

Be Whole Wellness Center has a state-of-the-art infrared sauna from Sunlighten, the premier line of infrared saunas today. Sunlighten saunas use patented SoloCarbon® technology to deliver optimal wavelengths of near, mid, and far infrared light for maximum results. 

How do infrared sauna sessions detoxify the body?

Infrared sauna sessions raise your core body temperature. This stimulates a deep sweat, through which you release toxins, including heavy metals like mercury, mold, phthalates, and other toxic substances. 

What are the benefits of infrared sauna treatments?

Infrared sauna treatments offer a wide range of benefits. Along with the impressive detoxifying effects, infrared sauna treatments can help with:

• Fat burning and weight loss
• Pain relief
• Anti-aging
• Prevents muscle loss
• Improves endurance during exercise
• Improves glucose and insulin levels
• Reduces inflammation
• Improves mitochondrial function

Infrared sauna sessions can be one of the cornerstones of recovery or a whole-body wellness plan at Be Whole Wellness Center. 

Because the treatments are completely natural, they work well alongside other functional medicine approaches such as pharmaceutical-grade supplements, nutrition coaching, intravenous (IV) therapy, and lipotropic injections. 

How do I prepare for infrared sauna sessions?

Before your infrared sauna sessions, make sure you’re well hydrated. This can help you have a great deep sweat while avoiding dehydration after the session. 

Tell your Be Whole Wellness Center provider before your infrared sauna sessions if you take any prescription medications. Certain drugs, like beta-blockers, diuretics, beta-blockers, and antihistamines, may cause problems with heat loss and therefore exclude you from this treatment type. 

What happens during infrared sauna sessions?

During infrared sauna sessions, you’ll relax inside a comfortable private sauna. The Sunlighten sauna features two full-spectrum high-intensity infrared heaters. 

The chromatherapy feature displays soothing colors during your treatment, and the acoustic resonance sound therapy creates calming sounds. Overall, Sunlighten infrared sauna sessions are relaxing and revitalizing.
