Flourish Wellness | INFRARED SAUNA

 

Unlike traditional saunas, Flourish's sauna uses infrared heat to create a relaxing environment with dry heat that provides a myriad of health benefits. A 3 in 1 sauna means you are getting a blend of near, mid and far infrared wavelengths that all have slightly different benefits and combine to make the ultimate experience.

 

The traditional types of saunas heat the air at extremely high temperatures and often times use steam to make a person sweat. The steam and extreme heat can make the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because infrared wavelengths heat the body directly instead of simply heating the air, infrared saunas are seven times more effective for detoxification according to Sunlighten, the manufacturer of our sauna. At Flourish, you will experience the deepest, most detoxifying sweat of your life. 

 

Some of the health benefits from using our sauna include:

 

Detoxification: Detox achieved from the Sunlighten 3 in 1 Infrared Sauna is 7 to 10 times greater than a conventional sauna. In a conventional sauna, the average person sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water. In a Sunlighten Sauna, the average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water.  

 

Pain Relief: Relieve back, neck and arthritis pain with infrared sauna heat therapy. Researchers studying HRP (heat responsive pain) have observed remarkable therapeutic benefits by using continuous low level heat therapy for treating lower back pain and upper body pain, all conditions that fell under the HRP classifications. 

 

Weight Loss: A 30 minute infrared sauna session can burn up to 200-600 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. Flourish's Sunlighten sauna heat therapy raises core body temperature causing passive cardiovascular conditioning. Your body's natural response to infrared heat therapy is to increase circulation and sweat. Check out the results with a heart rate monitor and you will be amazed!

 

Heart Health including reduction in overall blood pressure: Repeated infrared sauna treatment improves impaired blood vessel function in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol according to a study done at the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2005.

​

Improved circulation: Heating of muscles with infrared produces an increased blood flow level similar to that seen during exercise. Body temperature elevation also produces an increase in blood flow. Infrared heat assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates. The increased peripheral circulation provides the transport needed to help evacuate the edema which can help end inflammation, decrease pain and help speed healing. 

 

Skin Purification: Improve your skin's appearance with regular use of Flourish's 3 in 1 Sunlighten infrared sauna. Open wounds heal quicker with reduced scarring. Infrared heat therapy helps acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin lesion or cuts. It also reduces wrinkles, makes skin look radiant, firms and improves skin tone and elasticity. Regular use may also help reduce the appearance of cellulite, lessen the appearance of scars, and help burns heal significantly faster.
