Sunlighten® Infrared Sauna in Santa Fe
At ElleWell, our integrative approach to care is designed to help our patients feel and function their best. Along with a wide range of healing therapies and modalities, from chiropractic to acupuncture, and functional medicine to laser therapy, we are happy to provide cutting-edge Sunlighten infrared sauna.
What Does It Do?
Sunlighten makes completely non-toxic saunas—there are no glues or other solvents that could be inhaled. Using near-, mid- and far-infrared rays, the sauna heats your body internally to help stimulate the body’s ability to heal.
Benefits
The Sunlighten system penetrates muscles to increase blood flow and speed muscle recovery, and it helps reduce stress and promote relaxation by balancing cortisol levels. This improved relaxation may even translate into better sleep. It can even help you lose weight! Far-infrared rays cause a “passive” workout, increasing metabolism and fat burning. When combined with proper nutrition and exercise, spending time in our sauna may help you reach your weight-loss goals more quickly.
What to Expect
We generally start with a 20 minute session (plus an additional 10 minutes to get changed), and we recommend 2-3 sessions per week for optimal results. You’ll be alone in the sauna, and it’s best if you’re wearing minimal or no clothing. We’ll give you some towels to sit on so you can relax and enjoy the healing warmth.
Many people combine Thai massage or lymphatic drainage with their sauna sessions—heating your body up first can help kick-start the detoxifying process. Please note that pregnant women and people with heat sensitivities, such as those with MS, should not use the infrared sauna.
