Sauna: Unleash the Power of Invisible Light for Deep Detoxification and Wellness Tradition

For centuries, saunas have offered a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation. But with the rise of infrared technology, a new wave of heat therapy has emerged. Both traditional and infrared saunas offer unique benefits, so understanding the differences can help you choose the perfect sweat session for your needs.


The Timeless Tradition: Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas use hot air to create a deeply comforting warmth. This dry heat penetrates the skin, inducing a relaxing sweat that helps loosen tight muscles, ease joint pain, and improve circulation.  Many swear by the post-sauna feeling of deep relaxation and stress relief.


The Science of Light: Infrared Saunas

Infrared saunas utilize invisible light waves to directly heat your body. These waves resonate with water molecules, causing them to vibrate and generate heat from within. This gentle internal warmth offers a range of benefits:

  • Detoxification: Infrared waves stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting the elimination of toxins through sweat.
  • Improved Circulation:  Infrared heat can enhance blood flow, promoting muscle healing and delivering essential nutrients throughout the body.
  • Pain Relief:  The deep, penetrating warmth of infrared saunas can help alleviate aches and pains, offering relief for those suffering from chronic conditions.


Finding Your Perfect Sweat:

Both traditional and infrared saunas offer distinct advantages. Here's a quick breakdown to help you decide:


Choose a Traditional Sauna if:

  • You prioritize deep relaxation and stress relief.
  • You enjoy the feeling of dry heat & higher temperatures.
  • You're looking to spend less time in the sauna.

Choose an Infrared Sauna if:

  • You're seeking a more targeted detoxifying sweat.
  • You have muscle pain or stiffness and want deep heat therapy.
  • You prefer a to spend more time in the sauna at a lower temperature

Ultimately, the best sauna is the one you enjoy the most. Ready to experience the power of heat therapy? We offer both traditional and infrared saunas, so you can discover your perfect sweat and explore the path to deeper relaxation and well-being.

What to expect during Sauna Session

Experience the Sauna (Pre-Float Recommended):

While we recommend using our sauna before a float session to enhance relaxation, you can use it independently as well. Here's a guide to get you started:


  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and during your session, especially if you're new to saunas. You can bring water inside.
  • Find Your Comfort Zone:  Temperatures range from 100°F (infrared) to 200°F.(traditional) Beginners start at 100°F and gradually increase over several sessions.
  • Session Length:  For first-timers, aim for 10-30 minutes. Gradually work your way up to the recommended 30-45 minute sessions. Timers are provided for safety.
  • Clothing (Optional): Wear a swimsuit, or use the provided robes and towels.
  • Relax and Recharge:  Read, meditate, or listen to music – just avoid sleeping.
  • Cool Down: After your session, take your time cooling down. Once comfortable, you can shower or bathe (not available for stand-alone sauna sessions –  consider a float session for access to showers). Rehydrate with water.
  • Frequency: If healthy, daily use is possible.

Before You Dive into Sauna Bliss: A Safety Guide

Get ready to relax and sweat! Here are some important things to know before your first sauna sessio

Get ready to relax and sweat!  Here are some important things to know before your first infrared sauna session:

  • Hydrate:  Drink plenty of water beforehand to avoid dehydration, especially if you're new to infrared saunas.
  • Hold the Alcohol:  Skip the pre-sauna drinks. Alcohol can dehydrate you and worsen lightheadedness.
  • Feeling Under the Weather? Wait:  If you're sick or feverish, reschedule your session for when you're feeling better.
  • Listen to Your Body:  Saunas can induce sweating, which might cause lightheadedness when standing up. Get up slowly and sit down for a moment if needed.  Replenish fluids after your session and cool down completely before continuing your day.
  • Know Your Limits:  In rare cases, overheating or dehydration can occur.
  • Consult Your Doctor:  If you have pre-existing health conditions like high blood pressure, heart problems, or are under medical supervision, get your doctor's okay before using an infrared sauna.

Safety first!  By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable infrared sauna experience.



While infrared saunas offer a relaxing and potentially therapeutic experience, there are a few contr


  • Recent Injuries: If you have a sprain or other injury within the past 48 hours, hold off on the sauna. The heat can worsen inflammation.  However, after the initial healing period, infrared therapy can actually promote faster recovery.
  • Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before using an infrared sauna if you're pregnant. Their guidance will ensure the safety of both you and your baby.
  • Hemophilia and Bleeding Disorders: People with hemophilia or a tendency to bleed should avoid infrared saunas due to the potential risk of increased bleeding.

Remember, safety is paramount.  If you have any pre-existing health conditions, consult your doctor before using an infrared sauna. They can advise you on whether it's right for you.

History of Sauna

From Ancient Rituals to Modern Miracle: The Enduring Legacy of Saunas

Saunas boast a rich history, their journey intertwined with humanity's pursuit of well-being.

Early Heat Therapy:  As far back as the Greeks, heat treatments were known to combat illness.  They even induced slight fevers for therapeutic purposes.

Finnish "Steam of Life":  For the Finns, with their long, harsh winters, saunas weren't a luxury, but a necessity.  Over 2,000 years ago, they built primitive "smoke saunas" – dug-out spaces heated by fire pits and hot rocks.

Evolution of Traditions:  Over time, these saunas evolved.  Metal woodstoves and water thrown on hot rocks for steam (loyly) became common.  The ritualistic use of wood smoke was also significant.

The Modern Era:  The 20th century brought significant changes.  Electric sauna stoves arrived around 1950, followed by the invention of far infrared saunas in Japan (1965).  These modern marvels offered cleaner, more convenient ways to experience the sauna's benefits.

Beyond the Physical:  Saunas became more than just a physical experience.  They were seen as places for mental and spiritual renewal, even encompassing childbirth and burial rituals.

A Global Phenomenon:  The love of saunas is universal.  From Turkish baths and Roman Thermae to Native American sweat lodges and Eastern European shvitzes, similar traditions exist worldwide.

Science Catches Up:  Today, science validates the sauna's benefits.  Raising body temperature stimulates the immune system, with potential applications for treating infections, arthritis, and even some cancers.

The sauna's journey highlights the ongoing connection between ancient practices and modern well-being.  This timeless tradition continues to offer a path to healing and rejuvenation for the body and spirit.
