The Sauna Reinvented

The creation of the Infrared sauna has completely transformed the meaning of the word “sauna.”  An Infrared sauna offers 7 times the effectiveness of a traditional sauna because of its ability to penetrate human tissue.

An Infrared Sauna is different from a normal sauna in several ways. It uses large panels to create the most even, effective, and comfortable distribution of heat yet. The panels emit vital infrared rays at a low, constant temperature.

It also warms your body in the same manner as the sun. Sunlight heats whatever is in it’s path through infrared rays. For example, if you were to lay out in the sun for a long time, you may desire some shade. It’s still the same temperature outside but it feels cooler under the shade because you’re blocked from the sun’s infrared rays.

The sun gives beneficial energy but it can also be very harmful. Infrared heat provides all the good benefits from the sun without the negative effects of solar radiation. It heats the body rather than just warming the air and creates a detoxifying sweat to rid your body of toxins at the cellular level. In a regular sauna you can expect your sweat to contain 3% toxins versus an infrared sauna which produces a sweat of 20% toxins.

Several companies compete for the most detoxifying sauna but one brand consistently proves itself. Sunlighten has created several models of the infrared sauna that have made them leaders in the sauna industry. One of the secrets to their success is Solocarbon infrared heating technology. This technology is the only heater of its kind that is capable of raising the body’s core temperature nearly 3 degrees. This gives a sauna the ability to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It also encourages weight loss through a reduction in your waistline.

Weight loss isn’t the only advantage of a sauna. The perks are numerous! A sauna helps rejuvenate and heal the body as you simply relax. A sauna may benefit you in any of these ways:

• Detoxification
• Pain Relief
• Improved Circulation
• Lower Blood Pressure
• Wound Healing
• Skin Purification
• Immunity
• Cell Health
• Muscle Recovery
• Weight Loss

You can enjoy time in our infrared sauna at Seasons. For an appointment, call our concierge at 865.675.9355. For more information on how a sauna may help you in these areas visit the Sunlighten website.

 

Sweat Yourself to Better Health in our Infrared Sauna

What is an Infrared Sauna?

Infrared Light

Infrared light is the natural radiant heat emitted by the sun. It is 100% safe and even used to warm premature babies. Picture yourself feeling the sun’s rays on a warm day. That is what it is like to be in a Sunlighten Sauna. This comforting heat warms you from the inside, for a deep and detoxifying sweat.

Sunlighten vs. Traditional Saunas
Sunlighten Saunas use infrared heat rays instead of steam, as is used in traditional saunas. Infrared gently heats the body from within instead of heating the air. It has the ability to penetrate the surface of the skin, which gives your body overall radiant warmth. Traditional heaters only heat the air, which can become extremely hot and uncomfortable in which to breathe.

Carbon vs. Ceramic Heaters
Sunlighten’s carbon-based heating technologies emit more infrared energy at a lower surface temperature. This leads to pain relief, better circulation and more effective detoxification, among several other benefits.

Carbon Surround, Solocarbon® and Solocarbon® Custom Spectrum
While Carbon Surround is the best infrared therapy in its class, Solocarbon® is the most advanced and beneficial technology available. In fact, Solocarbon has been clinically shown to raise core body temperature nearly 3o in a 30 min. session. This is important, because raising core body temperature is the catalyst for nearly all of the health benefits associated with infrared therapy. With the introduction of Solocarbon® Custom Spectrum, Sunlighten now offers a heating technology capable of delivering near, mid and far infrared to more precisely target a myriad of personalized health concerns.

What are the benefits of an Infrared Sauna?

Detoxification
Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal, stay healthy and detoxify. In a Sunlighten Sauna, the average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water, while in a conventional sauna, the average person only sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water.

Weight Loss
Studies have shown a 30 minute infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories. As the body works to cool itself while using an infrared sauna, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

Relaxation
Sunlighten saunas deliver the ultimate experience in relaxation. With the most therapeutic infrared heat found in Solocarbon® heating technology, our saunas are guaranteed to help you relax in comfort with an invigorating sweat that will have you feeling stress-free with each session.

Pain Relief
Clinical research on pain has shown evidence of heat responsive pain or HRP, which encompasses several common pain conditions that can be specifically treated with the use of our infrared heat therapy.

Blood Pressure Reduction
Sunlighten’s Solocarbon® heaters were shown in a clinical study by the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2005 to lower blood pressure from a 30 minute infrared sauna session three times per week.
