We’ve had quite the stretch of warm fall weather here in Denver, but it’s finally cooling down! Getting nice and toasty during the colder months is far from the only benefit of infrared sauna use, though. We go over many of the benefits on our website, including detoxification, pain relief, weight loss, wound healing, and more, but are excited to see emerging research on infrared sauna use in helping to relieve depression and boosting immunity.
We are proud to offer a Sunlighten mPulse 3-person Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna at Denver Recovery Lounge. Sunlighten is the only patented Solocarbon 3-in-1® full spectrum infrared sauna on the market that provides all three infrared wavelengths in one place and is customizable to each user.
Sunlighten explains in detail the mechanisms of How Infrared Saunas Can Boost Your Immune System During Cold and Flu Season on their blog, with the following conclusion:
“To maximize the synergistic immune-boosting benefits of infrared sauna, use full-spectrum infrared therapy. The near-infrared spectrum can stimulate immune cell growth and activity by stimulating your mitochondria. The mid-infrared spectrum penetrates deep into your tissues, ensuring that you benefit from the immune-stimulating effects of heat throughout your body and improving your sleep. Lastly, the far-infrared spectrum possesses great healing and anti-stress benefits.”
They have even more great info in another blog post, Immune System Hacks: Hormesis, Heat Shock Proteins, and Hyperthermia:
“Hormesis is the idea that the body needs to know how to adapt to extremes, like extreme heat or extreme cold, to be as resilient as we need it to be to fight off colds, flu, and other viruses and infections.”
Finally, in a third excellent and informative post, Sunlighten discusses How Infrared & Heat Help Relieve Depression. They cover all the emerging science on heat as a standalone or complimentary therapy in improving mental health. It’s all absolutely fascinating, so be sure to check it out.
