INFRARED SAUNA
Weight Loss & Metabolic Enhancement: A study conducted by Binghamton University (SUNY) demonstrated that participants using a Clearlight Premier IS-3 infrared sauna three times a week for 30 minutes per session experienced an average 4% reduction in body fat over four months, without changes to diet or exercise routines. This suggests that infrared sauna therapy can naturally enhance metabolic rate, supporting weight management without additional effort.
Cardiovascular Health: Research indicates that regular infrared sauna use can improve cardiovascular function. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that repeated sauna therapy improved vascular endothelial and cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure. Regular use may help maintain heart health by improving blood flow, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing overall circulatory efficiency.
Mental Health & Mood Enhancement: A clinical trial at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) combined infrared sauna sessions using the Clearlight Curve™ Far Infrared Sauna Dome with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals with major depressive disorder. The study reported that 11 out of 12 participants no longer met the criteria for depression after eight weeks of treatment. This highlights the therapeutic potential of infrared sauna sessions for mental health.
Detoxification: Infrared sauna therapy promotes sweating, which aids in the elimination of toxins. Dr. Sherry Rogers,environmental toxicity expert,noted that sweating is an effective method for removing stored chemicals, including heavy metals. Regular sessions can support the body's natural detoxification pathways, improving overall wellness.
Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery: Infrared heat therapy has been shown to alleviate chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. A study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine found that infrared sauna therapy reduced pain and improved quality of life in patients with chronic pain. The deep penetrating heat not only eases joint and muscle pain but also accelerates muscle recovery post-exercise.
Improved Sleep Quality: Regular infrared sauna use can enhance sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. The Cleveland Clinic suggests that the calming effects of infrared sauna sessions can contribute to better sleep patterns. Consistent use can support a balanced sleep-wake cycle, helping you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper rest.

Improved Circulation: The body's response to cold immersion involves vasoconstriction and subsequent vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) as it warms up. This process can act as a vascular workout, potentially improving circulation over time. Enhanced blood flow can have positive effects on overall cardiovascular health.
Metabolic Considerations: Cold exposure, particularly shivering, increases metabolic rate as the body works to generate heat. Some research also indicates that regular cold exposure can lead to the activation or increase of brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of fat that burns calories to produce heat. This metabolic effect could be a contributing factor to overall energy expenditure.
Potential Immune System Support: Some studies suggest that regular cold exposure can have a positive impact on the immune system. Research has explored changes in immune cell counts and markers after cold water immersion.
Enhanced Recovery & Pain Relief: Cold water immersion is a popular technique among athletes for a reason. Research suggests that cold temperatures can help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation after intense exercise. The vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) that occurs in cold water is thought to help flush out metabolic waste products and reduce swelling. Studies have explored its effectiveness in mitigating delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improving muscle function recovery.
Mental Well-being & Resilience: Beyond the initial shock, cold plunge can have a significant impact on mental health. Exposure to cold water triggers the release of endorphins, often called "feel-good" hormones, which can lead to improvements in mood and a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Regular cold exposure may also enhance mental resilience and the ability to cope with stress by training your body's stress response system. Some research points to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and a subsequent parasympathetic rebound, promoting a sense of calm and increased alertness.
Step into the cold water immersion and discover a practice with growing scientific support for its wide-ranging benefits. From boosting your mood to enhancing recovery, a cold plunge can be a powerful addition to your wellness routine.
COLD PLUNGE
STUDIES & sources >
Preparation: Before you plunge, take a moment to prepare. Take a few deep breaths and set an intention for your session. Cold plunges are most effective when you’re calm and focused. To get the most out of cold plunging, submerge your entire body, even your head briefly if you can. This exposes your whole body, thyroid, and back of the neck, which triggers a more dramatic hormonal response. Feel the full body refresh with just a few seconds of courage.
Breath Control: Slow, steady breathing can help you stay comfortable. Inhale deeply through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth. Our suite is equipped with a screen that gently guides you through a calming, rhythmic breathing technique, helping you focus and stay relaxed.
Frequency: Beginners can start with just 30 seconds and gradually work their way up to 3 minutes as their body adjusts. Regular practice builds resilience and maximizes the benefits of each plunge. Most people report it gets easier after the first minute.
Post-Plunge Care: After your cold plunge, dry off with provided towels. Gentle movement can help your body warm up naturally. Our favorite: Notice the feeling of invigoration and alertness that follows the plunge.
