Each morning I go in my full-spectrum infrared sauna.
The near, mid and far infrared rays each have their own purpose. The near-infrared waves are the shortest wavelength and are absorbed by the skin the quickest inducing sweat that promotes detoxifying healing. The mid-infrared waves are a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the soft tissues which increases circulation and releases oxygen to injured areas. The far-infrared waves are the longest wavelength that penetrate fat cells (vasodilation: fat cells vibrate to expel toxins). ⠀
Benefits include: increased metabolism, aid in recovery from muscle aches and pains, immune support as the heat accelerates the immune response, detoxification as blood circulation increases and works together with the stimulated sweat glands, reduction in cellulite, ease in joint pain and stiffness, stress reduction and skin improvements. ⠀

Color light therapy (chromotherapy) adds another level to healing depending on your color choice. I choose red, as it’s known as the great energizer and promotes cellular growth. Red links with and stimulates the base of the spine. Red stimulates sensory nerves too. ⠀
My main motivation is heat shock proteins which promote autophagy to flush away metabolic waste from cells.
