Pain Relief
The infrared energy released by a Sun Life Sauna can penetrate up to 1.5” deep into muscle tissue. 93% of this energy is absorbed through our skin. By heating these tissues, we experience a vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels which can be beneficial in reducing muscle spasms, joint stiffness and achiness, as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is also evidence that when used 24-48 hours post injury, far infrared energy can reduce the time it takes for your body to heal sprains and strains. Experience a reduction of pain and swelling almost overnight.
Detoxification
Since the skin is our largest organ, it plays an important role in eliminating undesirable toxins. Some physicians refer to the skin as a third kidney. The deep penetration of our Sun Life Saunas’ infrared technology allows removal of toxins stored in fat cells. Detoxifying in a Sun Life Sauna helps rid your body of potential carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. Cleanse your body with ease.
Beautification of Skin
Do you want to improve the tone, texture and elasticity of your skin? By sitting in a Sun Life Sauna, the increased blood circulation to the skin brings fresh nutrients to the surface. At the same time, profuse sweating is assisting in the removal of toxins that accumulate deep within your pores such as make-up, dirt, lotions and conditioners. Look and feel better with your Sun Life Sauna.
Tissue Elasticity
The warmth of your Sun Life Sauna will relax your muscles, increase flexibility and range of motion. Studies show, tissues heated to 130° and then stretched, have exhibited an elastic elongation that persists long after the stretch is removed. This was not the case, when the same tissues were stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Therapeutic benefits were also seen in working with ligaments, tendons, fascia, joint capsules and symposiums that have become scarred, thickened or contracted. Improve flexibility beyond your expectations.
Other New and Exciting Benefits
Chronic Inner Ear Infections
Infrared sauna therapy sessions can open nasal passages and therefore assist the sinuses in draining and preventing spread of infection to the middle ear.
Chromotherapy or Light Therapy
Defined as the therapeutic use of color and light in order to bring about homeostasis within the human body. Organs, muscles, cells and nerves all have a level of vibration or frequency. Each color of light has its own frequency and vibration. When our bodies become out of balance, disease occurs. Through extensive research, we know that color and light will help bring our physical and emotional systems into balance. Color works through and in us, in every nerve, cell, gland and muscle. All Sun Life Saunas come standard, with a Chromotherapy Light System. Learn More..
