‘A sauna used to be thought of as a luxury. Studies now confirm that diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers. Since the FAR Infrared Sauna is the safest, most efficacious and economical way of depurating (detoxifying) stored toxins, this makes it a household necessity.’
~ Sherry Rogers, MD
Enter the private sauna suite with an inside lock for your peace of mind. Choose from our available Chromotherapy (light and color therapy) options to enhance your desired feeling or effect during your sweat. Derobe to your desired level. Step in to our FAR Infrared Sauna and begin to melt. For the next 20 minutes you have nothing to do, simply be. Allow the relaxing music to calm your mind as the heat begins to warm you from the inside out. Toxins begin to mobilize and leave the body via sweat. Your metabolism increases, burning fat. Your core temperature rises 2-3 degrees, stimulating immune function. You melt away the stress, the toxins, the calories and the day. Purifying body, mind and soul!
In a FAR Infrared Sauna, heat penetrates the subcutaneous layers, dispersing evenly throughout the body, creating an internal fever and raising core temperature several degrees. This is done without requiring oppressive radiant heat, allowing for longer sauna times. 135-155 F is the optimal temperature range depending on the individual and your desired effects and health history. We recommend a Wellness Consult with our Naturopathic Doctor to determine your protocol, if you have concerns or pre-existing conditions.
Your FAR Infrared Sauna session gives you access to the private sauna suite for 45 minutes. The typically recommended sauna session is 15-30 minutes, with 20 minutes being the sweet spot. However, the 10-15 minutes following a sauna are almost as important as the sauna itself. This time allows you to rest and recover and return to baseline, where many of the positive effects begin to deepen. We offer an area to lounge in your private sauna suite or you can relax in the wellness center waiting alcove, if preferred.
