Infra Red Sauna FAQ’s

Collapsible content

WHAT IS AN INFRARED SAUNA?

Parlour J Health & Beauty has a Clearlight InfraRed Sauna. The far infrared heat produced by our Clearlight Sauna is totally safe as there are none of the harmful rays of sunlight produced by our heaters, just natural healing heat. In fact, this heat is so safe that is it used in hospitals to keep newborns warm.

Infrared rays are the healthiest, penetrate into your skin deeply and they dissolve harmful substances accumulated in your body. The Infrared Rays vitalize your cells and metabolism.

In an infrared sauna, the quality of the infrared heat is the most important factor in determining the benefits you will receive from that sauna. By combining carbon fibers and a ceramic compound in one heater, we have brought together the best of both worlds to give you the highest quality infrared heat imaginable.

Gentle infrared heat penetrates human tissue, providing heat directly to the body without creating uncomfortable outer temperatures.

Infrared saunas detoxify the body, improving circulation, purifying skin, decreasing blood pressure, reducing pain, boosting relaxation and aiding weight loss.

WHAT IS CHROMOTHERAPY OR COLOUR THERAPY?

Chromotherapy is the science of using colours to balance the body’s vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Chromotherapy works on various energy points to help balance your body via the full spectrum of visible light, each colour addressing a different need. Chromotherapy sauna benefits include physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Please consult your doctor prior to booking your infrared sauna session if you suffer from the following conditions:

  • Cardiovascular issues
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Multiple sclerosis and other chronic conditions

Pregnant women should avoid using the infrared sauna. Caution should be observed for clients over the age of 55 and children under the age of 16, as core body temperature rises faster for these groups.
