The Benefits of Infrared Heat
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), these different combinations of infrared heat in saunas promote a wide variety of wellness goals. It all comes down to how your many physiological systems respond to the different wavelengths. The important thing to remember is that each wavelength, be it near, mid, or far, is still within a range that is safe for the human body.
Far Infrared Sauna Uses
Far infrared saunas are the best fit for wellness goals that aren’t tied to a severe health condition. They stimulate detoxification, weight loss, boosted immunity, reduced blood pressure, better circulation, and improved cardiovascular health.
Heat in a far infrared sauna is good at penetrating your body’s soft tissue and, thereby, raising your core temperature. This begins a chain reaction in which the heart rate increases, profuse sweating occurs, and your circulation improves. You, ultimately, create a response in your body similar to the one you would experience through a moderate jog.
Full Spectrum Sauna Uses
Full spectrum saunas are unique in that they emit near, mid, and far infrared heat all at once. This means that in addition to the far infrared benefits listed above, full spectrum saunas can be good for localized pain relief, cell health, skin renewal, and wound healing.
Adding near infrared heat to the mix is this sauna’s super power. Every cell in our body contains a structure called the mitochondria (a.k.a., “the powerhouse of the cell”). All of our bodily functions rely on them working at full capacity. Lazy or fatigued mitochondria result in dysfunctional systems that many experts argue contribute to conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, thyroid and/or adrenal imbalances, and even lingering athletic injuries.
However, surrounding the mitochondria are tiny photoreceptors. When exposed to near infrared heat, these receptors cue the mitochondria to pump more oxygen into your bloodstream. These re-energized mitochondria, then, help reverse the damage in the system and, thus, ease the severity of symptoms.
Sunlight Impulse® Smart Sauna Infrared Therapy Health Benefits
Sweat Out The Toxins
Sunlighten saunas, with the deepest infrared penetration, can help increase blood flow and perspiration. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and hormone disruptors.
Increase Metabolism & Burn Fat
Sunlighten’s specific red light/near infrared wavelength stimulates sluggish metabolism and improved fat burning for energy. Increasing core body heat can increase calorie burn, similar to exercise. Infrared saunas also help with the elimination of toxins that cause fat storage.
Improve Heart Health
Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, reducing blood pressure, and improving circulation.
Reverse Aging & Renew Skin
Sunlighten’s red light/near infrared LEDs has been shown to increase collagen and elastin, improving overall skin appearance. Increased circulation also contributes to faster cell regeneration, which helps with appearance of scars.
Boost The Immune System
Heating the body from inside can improve the function of the immune system just like fever can. Therefore, regular Sunlighten sauna use can help reduce the incidences of cold and flu, and even help you recover faster.
Repair Muscles Faster
Many professional athletes use Sunlighten saunas to recover from their training and injuries. Sunlighten’s mid infrared spectrum can best penetrate joints and improve flexibility. Far infrared therapy is known to help with muscle soreness, whereas near infrared helps with tissue regeneration.
