Discover the Healing Power of Infrared Saunas

Why Infrared?

Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures and use infrared heaters or lamps to produce heat, which penetrates the skin more deeply than traditional saunas, reaching cells, tissues and muscles beneath the surface.

Health Benefits

  • Infrared saunas can be used as complementary therapy for conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain, as they can help alleviate discomfort.

  • Sweating in an infrared sauna can help the body eliminate toxins and heavy metals through the skin.

  • Research suggests that regular use of infrared saunas may have cardiovascular benefits, such as improving blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease, and enhancing vascular function.

  • The heat and gentle lighting in infrared saunas create a soothing environment that can aid in relaxation, stress reduction, and improved sleep.

  • Regular use of infrared saunas can lead to improved skin tone and clarity by increasing circulation and promoting collagen production.

    Some people use infrared saunas as part of a weight loss regimen, as they can help burn calories through sweating.

FAQs

  • Here's how you can get ready:

    1. Stay Hydrated - Drink plenty of water before and after your session to stay hydrated, as infrared saunas can make you sweat a lot.

    2. Dress Comfortably - Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment. You may also change into a towel provided by us.

    4. Shower Beforehand - Taking a quick shower before your sauna session can help open your pores and allow the infrared heat to penetrate more effectively, however this is not necessary. Remove any lotions, oils, or makeup from your skin to allow your skin to breathe and sweat freely.

    5. Plan for Relaxation - Arrive a bit early to give yourself time to relax before your session. Our sauna allows you to bring your own music or you can listen to the radio system within the sauna itself.

    6. Bring Essentials - Bring a water bottle or any personal care items.

    7. Limit Use of Electronics - Infrared saunas can get quite warm, which may not be ideal for electronic devices. It's best to leave your phone and other electronics outside the sauna or in a safe place.

    8. Know Your Limits - If it's your first time, start with a shorter session, 15 minutes, to see how your body responds. Listen to your body; if you feel dizzy, overheated, or uncomfortable, it's okay to step out early.

    9. Consult with Your Doctor - If you have any underlying health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medications, consult with your healthcare provider before your session to ensure it's safe for you.

    10. Post-Sauna Care - Plan for a cool-down period after your session. Take a cool shower to rinse off sweat and close your pores. Avoid strenuous activities immediately after; instead, take time to relax and let your body fully recover.

  • Children, especially before puberty, have a reduced ability to regulate their body temperature, making them more susceptible to heat exhaustion or heat stroke in saunas. To ensure safety, we do not allow children under the age of 3 to use our sauna. For children between the ages of 3 and 15, we require that a parent be present in the room during the session, though not necessarily inside the sauna itself.

    We also have specific guidelines for minors using our sauna:

    • The first 1-2 sessions for minors are limited to 15 minutes to assess how their bodies respond to the heat.

    • If they handle the initial sessions without any signs of overheating, they can gradually extend future sessions up to 30 minutes.

    • We do not permit sessions longer than 30 minutes for minors.

    Additionally, we remind all parents to emphasize the importance of thorough hydration for their children before and after using the sauna. Your child’s safety is our top priority.

  • Using an infrared sauna is considered safe for most people when proper guidelines are followed. Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat the body directly, which can provide a more comfortable experience compared to traditional saunas that heat the air. However, like any health treatment, there are considerations and precautions to keep in mind:

    • Hydration: It's essential to stay hydrated before, during, and after using an infrared sauna to prevent dehydration.

    • Session Length: Start with shorter sessions (15 minutes) and gradually increase to a maximum of about 30-45 minutes, depending on your tolerance.

    • Temperature Control: Keep the temperature between 110°F to 130°F (43°C to 54°C) for beginners and gradually increase it if comfortable.

    • Listen to Your Body: If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell at any point, leave the sauna immediately.

    • Medical Conditions: Consult with a healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or if you are pregnant. Some conditions may require special precautions

    • Age Restrictions: Infrared saunas may not be suitable for very young children, and specific guidelines should be followed for minors, as their bodies regulate heat differently.

    Who Should Avoid Infrared Saunas:

    • People with cardiovascular issues or those on certain medications should consult a doctor before using a sauna.

    • Pregnant women are usually advised to avoid saunas due to the risk of overheating.

    • Individuals with heat sensitivity or conditions that affect heat regulation, like multiple sclerosis, should also consult a healthcare provider.

    When used responsibly, infrared saunas can offer many health benefits with minimal risks. Always follow the recommended guidelines and consult a healthcare provider if you're unsure about your specific situation.

  • Cool Down Gradually - Allow your body to cool down slowly. Step out of the sauna and sit in a cool, but not cold, environment for a few minutes to let your body adjust to the change in temperature.

    2. Rehydrate - Replenish the fluids you've lost through sweating by drinking water or an electrolyte-rich drink. Hydration is crucial to avoid dehydration and help your body flush out toxins. Avoid alcohol or caffeine: These can dehydrate you further, so it’s best to stick to water or herbal teas.

    3. Take a Cool Shower - Rinse off the sweat with a cool (not cold) shower. This helps to close your pores, cleanse your skin, and lower your body temperature gradually. If you want to enhance the detoxification process, some people alternate between warm and cool water during their shower.

    4. Moisturize Your Skin - After your shower, apply a gentle moisturizer to your skin. The sauna session can leave your skin feeling dry, so moisturizing helps keep it hydrated and smooth.

    5. Rest and Relax - Avoid strenuous activities for a few hours. If possible, lie down for a bit or enjoy a light activity like reading or meditating.

    6. Listen to Your Body - Pay attention to how you feel after the sauna session. If you experience any dizziness, nausea, or prolonged fatigue, it’s important to rest and rehydrate. If symptoms persist, consult with a healthcare provider.

    7. Eat Lightly - After your session, enjoy a light, healthy snack or meal. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in antioxidants can help replenish nutrients and support your body’s detoxification process.

    8. Plan Your Next Session - If you felt good after your session, consider planning your next infrared sauna visit. Regular sessions can offer cumulative benefits, so it may be helpful to establish a routine that fits your wellness goals.

About Katie.

Our family's journey took an unexpected turn when my son, just 2 1/2 years old, began showing signs of a mysterious illness. Our witty, joyful, and vibrant little boy was slipping away, lost to the devastating effects of PANS, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the brain. For years, we searched for answers, but it wasn't until he was 6 that, by the grace of God, our pediatrician suggested PANS as the diagnosis. This marked the beginning of our healing journey.

Traditional forms of medicine weren't providing the relief our son needed, so we turned to our Heavenly Father for guidance. It was through His grace that we discovered the healing benefits of infrared sauna therapy. Determined to help our son, we searched for an infrared sauna in Lancaster County but found none. Undeterred, we sought out the best individual sauna on the market and, without hesitation, brought it into our home.

The results have been nothing short of miraculous. Our son has made tremendous strides in his healing journey, and we glorify God as we share that he has been nearly symptom-free for over three years. Now, we feel called to share this incredible healing benefit with you and your family, offering hope and restoration through the power of infrared sauna therapy.
