Healing with Healthy Heat

Written By: Mary Abranyi - Cashiers Valley Fusion | Issue: 2021/08 – August

Imagine for a moment, a life that is healthy and whole.  

A life where the mind and body work together to support one another and thrive. It sounds wonderful, but the reality is that a lot of people are experiencing some level of physical or mental imbalance and are seeking a variety of alternative approaches to become whole again.  

One such approach is using healthy heat from an infrared sauna, specifically a Sunlighten Sauna.

Although saunas have been popular for centuries, they are not often thought of for treatments in traditional medicine.   

Traditionally, saunas have been unbearably hot, steamy rooms in which breathing can be difficult.  But the saunas of today have technologically evolved from the harsh, 200+-degee rooms they originated from to a soothing, healthy heat.  

Sunlighten Infrared Technology brings forth a therapeutic treatment that is not only relaxing but also clinically shown beneficial for your health. These saunas also help eliminate toxins, further supporting the healing process.

Infrared wavelengths are the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum consisting of near (NIR), mid (MIR) and far (FIR) rays. These rays have the ability to penetrate human tissue.  This characteristic makes infrared beneficial because it heats the body directly at the core rather than simply warming the air resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where the majority of toxins reside.

Some of the health benefits include:

1. Detoxification: a Sunlighten sauna generates a sweat 7x more detoxifying than a traditional sauna.  

2.  Relaxation: designed to encourage the purest form of relaxation and stress-reduction.

3. Weight Loss: an infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories. Sunlighten saunas showed a reduction in belly fat in just 3 months.  

4. Heart Health: the SoloCarbon heaters have been clinically shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. 

5. Pain Relief: therapeutic benefits to back, neck, and arthritis pain from continuous use of infrared therapy.  

6. Anti-Aging: the skin’s appearance improves as pores open from the deeper sweat induced by the infrared therapy. 

7. Muscle Recovery: naturally increases circulation, helping your muscles get the oxygen and nutrients it needs.  

8. Cell Health/Immunity: stay healthy with the natural, preventative properties of our exclusive LED near infrared heating technology, which aids in cell health and overall immunity defense.  

9. Wound Healing: the advanced LED near infrared technology has the unique ability to heal wounds faster and minimalize scarring.

Infrared heat is safe and healthy for all living things but, like with anything, moderation is key.  You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without the risk of burning because infrared is a naturally occurring output of the sun but does not contain the harmful UV rays associated with unprotected sunlight.  This alternate approach to becoming healthy and whole will be available locally!
