Infrared Sauna
What is Clearlight Infrared Sauna?
The Clearlight Infrared Sauna delivers penetrating, dry infrared rays which enables it to heat the body from the inside out. Traditional steam and dry saunas rely on the heaters to raise the air temperature which in turn can only heat the skin’s surface. Both traditional dry and steam saunas can be uncomfortable due to inhalation of heat.

What happens during an Infrared Sauna Session?
A typical sauna will cause a brief 1 to 3 degree Fahrenheit increase in body temperature, strengthening the immune system by triggering the production of white blood cells by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus gland. This artificially induced fever response kills microorganisms and enhances the immune system function, the body’s best defense against infections.
While our bodies normally pump between 5 to 7 quarts of blood per minute, the Clearlight Infrared heat increases this blood flow to around 13 quarts per minute, mimicking a passive cardiovascular workout and allowing the body to burn up to 700 calories per 30 minute session.
The increased blood flow also raises the oxygen levels of the body, which can help repair cells and tissue, improving the body’s healing time from tissue damage and arthritis.
Infrared heat stimulates the body to release fat-soluble toxins such as heavy metals and other toxic chemicals through sweat glands by delivering the heat through the pores of the skin. Sweating through exercising is not as effective in removing toxins as the infrared sauna which works through the parasympathetic system.
