Our Sunlighten far infrared sauna creates a relaxing environment while providing a full spectrum of far infrared heat for maximum health benefits.

Our toxin free sauna has very low electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) – allowing the body to be surrounded by powerful, clean heat.

Infrared saunas focus on the temperature of the body, rather than focusing on the temperature of the surrounding air. This allows the user to warm up with the sauna.

As you absorb infrared heat, your core temperature will rise and produce a healthy sweat. This process is full of great health benefits including detoxification, immunity boost, and improved circulation!

Sauna Prep

Please arrive 2-3 minutes before your scheduled time.

Preparation is an essential piece to optimize your sauna experience and benefits. Make sure to be properly hydrated and have plenty of electrolytes.

A few hours prior to your session, do not put lotions or oils on your skin. This will inhibit your ability to sweat.

Towels will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own towels. Please bring along a bag to carry out your towels.

We require wearing a swimsuit, underwear, or athletic wear as you will sweat.

In Session Experience

Once you arrive to our studio, the sauna will be preheated. Be sure to have your water bottle with you!

Cell phones are not advised in the sauna. There is a bluetooth connection inside the sauna that you can pair your phone to.

Once inside the sauna, towel off frequently and lightly massage sore muscles to enhance the experience.

Please be courteous to your allotted time.

Post-Session Instructions

Once your session is finished, please place your used towels in the hamper and take all your items with you.

Increase your water intake throughout the day and replenish your electrolytes.

Contraindications

Medical Conditions

If any of the below apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use:

Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes – Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases cardiac output and 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.

Medications – Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician since some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates, and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics, such as amitriptyline, may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.

Alcohol & Drug Abuse – Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.

Elderly – The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Children – The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands, and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated with Reduced Ability to Sweat or Perspire – Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors, and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician.

Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone to Bleeding – The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.

Fever & Insensitivity to Heat – Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.

Pregnancy – Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.

Menstruation – Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. This should not preclude sauna use.

Joint Injury – Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.

Implants – Metal pins, rods, artificial joints, or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using.

Pacemakers / Defibrillators – The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.

In the rare event that you experience pain or discomfort, immediately discontinue sauna use.
