INFRARED SAUNA
Tucson Chinese Medicine uses a far infrared sauna from Sunlighten™ because it is the most effective far infrared sauna available. Using Solocarbon heat as the active ingredient, it offers the maximum therapeutic results. Solocarbon is the only heater on the market clinically shown to raise core temperature, lower blood pressure and aid in weight loss. Only Sunlighten saunas are 100% non-toxic, hypoallergenic, medical-grade, clinically backed and proven 95-99% effective.
Our infrared sauna offers the extra therapeutic benefit of chromotherapy. Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. Our bodies need the sun’s light to live. And that light can actually be broken down into a seven color spectrum. An imbalance of any of those colors can manifest itself in physical and mental symptoms. Color therapy works on various energy points to help balance your body via the full spectrum of visible light, each color addressing a distinct need. Color and light have been utilized by healers for thousands of years. Color therapy possibly has roots in Indian medicine (Ayurveda), ancient Egyptian culture and traditional Chinese healing.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF INFRARED HEAT:
Detoxification
Sweating is good for you. It is the body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Sauna encourages detoxification to happen by heating the body directly, causing a rise in core temperature. It warms you from the inside out, not outside in. This results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.
“Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods. Detoxification has also been shown to be helpful with colitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disease, immune deficiency states, autism, ADD and ADHD.”

Relaxation
Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna benefits include therapy that helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep-tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session. Learn More
Weight Loss
In the mood to lose weight? Saunas can help. Infrared saunas promote weight loss by detoxifying the body and burning calories while you relax. Studies have shown that benefits of an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories. Learn More
Pain Relief
One of the most compelling reasons to use a sauna is the natural pain relief associated with infrared sauna therapy. Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared sauna heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time. Learn More
Lower Blood Pressure
Only Sunlighten saunas are backed by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart. Sunlighten infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows the infrared sauna benefits using a Sunlighten infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure. Learn More
Improve Circulation
Using infrared sauna therapy is like giving yourself a passive cardio workout – whenever you need it! Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use – especially in the mid infrared range – can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate. Learn More
