Health benefits of infrared sauna use: reducing pain, improving heart health, boosting mood, strengthening immunity, detoxifying, increasing insulin sensitivity, and aiding exercise.

Quote by Dr. Joel Kahn, MD in regards to Infrared Sauna therapy.

“I have found infrared saunas to be very effective in reducing the stress response and creating balance in
the autonomic nervous system. They can improve circulation, help with weight loss, balance blood sugar,
and improve detoxification—each of which improves your brain function. I have personally benefited from
Sunlighten sauna therapy and feel it can be integrated into anyone’s wellness plan.”

— Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, Functional Medicine Doctor

“ If you analyze the peer reviewed data, full spectrum infrared sauna therapy would be a multibillion
drug if it came in a pill. The ability to heal endothelium and improve symptoms and prognosis for
congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease is remarkable. Sunlighten saunas are the only
infrared saunas clinically shown to lower blood pressure and reduce belly fat, both contributing
factors to a healthy heart.”

— Dr. Joel Kahn, MD, Holistic Cardiologist

“Infrared saunas can quickly help you get back to feeling amazing again. Sauna therapy has been around for
centuries as a way to detoxify your body, but full spectrum infrared saunas can go even further by heating up
your body’s core to a cellular level, where most toxins are stored. That’s why my Bulletproof Biohacking lab
has a mPulse 3-in-1 sauna.”

— Dave Asprey - Founder & CEO of Bulletproof

“One of my mental health brain hacks that I absolutely love and has helped me so much, and that is my
Sunlighten sauna. I have one at my house, and when I’m not traveling, I have a sauna every single day. This is
where I really relax and wind down from the pressures of life. I can feel my metabolism and clarity of thought
has improved. If I am feeling a little foggy, I find that my sauna really clears it up. I just have so much energy
after a Sunlighten sauna session!”

— Dr. Caroline Leaf, Communication Pathologist & Cognitive Neuroscientist

Frequently Asked Questions

To enable infrared to penetrate tissues as deep as possible, we recommend wearing as little as possible. A cotton towel, gym shorts or swimsuit are perfect options.
One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.
Sweat levels are different for everyone. Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much.
No. If you have health concerns, we recommend speaking with your doctor before your sauna session.
Just as you would not leave your cell phone in your car on a hot day, we do not recommend taking cells phones, Apple watches, or other electronics in the sauna. The electronics that are built into the sauna are designed for a heated environment.
The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. When taking a sauna session with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. A general rule of thumb is one minute inside your sauna per year of age for the child, but always accompanied by an adult. And remember to keep you and your children hydrated, even if you don’t see them sweating.
Even though infrared is completely safe, it is not recommended to use while pregnant. While pregnant, the core body temperature is already elevated, and you could overheat.
