Infrared Sauna

Infrared therapy uses light waves—near, mid, and far infrared—to penetrate tissues and stimulate healing from within. It’s often delivered via infrared saunas or lamps.

Process:

Session Duration: Typically 20-40 minutes at 130°F/149F
Delivery: Infrared light penetrates up to 1.5 inches into the skin.
Add-ons: Includes chromotherapy (color therapy) and pulse monitoring, salt bricks and ozone therapy

Benefits:

Detoxification: Promotes deep sweating to eliminate toxins and heavy metals.
Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery: Eases joint stiffness, arthritis, and chronic pain.
Improved Circulation: Mid-infrared waves stimulate blood flow, enhancing cardiovascular health.
Stress Reduction: Far-infrared induces relaxation and improves sleep quality.
Skin Rejuvenation: Near-infrared boosts collagen production and skin turnover.
Immune Support: Triggers heat shock proteins and white blood cell production.

Cold Therapy in Naturopathy

Cold therapy — also called hydrotherapy uses cold wraps, compresses, or immersion to stimulate healing.

Process:

Cold Wraps: A wet sheet and wool blanket wrap post-sauna or as a standalone treatment.
Alternating Hot & Cold: Known as fomentation, alternating compresses stimulate circulation.

Benefits:

Reduced Inflammation: Cold constricts blood vessels, decreasing swelling and pain.
Nervous System Reset: Shifts the body from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest).
Lymphatic Drainage: Drives lymph flow and hydrates tissues.
Mood Boost: Cold exposure releases serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins.
Immune Activation: Stimulates immune response and supports detox.
