Shine a light on your health.
For centruries, people have understood the live giving power of the Sun. All life relies on the Sun's light and heat. At SunSauna™, we understand also that the Sun's rays play a vital role in maintaining our health and well-being. If you are interested in purchasing a sauna for home therapeutic use, you're in the right place!
In some parts of the world, during the Winter months, when the Sun is obscured by clouds many people fall into a seasonal depression known as S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder) due to lack of sunlight. Doctors around the world have created light therapy devices to treat persons afflicted with S.A.D. These devices are costly and cumbersome. SunSauna™ has developed this same light therapy**, and enclosed it in a beautiful, 100% cedar infrared sauna. Experience raising the Sun on demand for yourself!
How can a SunSauna™ benefit my health?
SunSauna™ can not only help treat S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder), but also many other medical conditions. SunSauna™ provides far infrared heat and neodymium full spectrum lights to the occupant. Doctors, nurses, and homeopathic health proessionals have studied the effects of these two types of radiation and have concluded that only SunSauna™ offers the most effective choice in sauna therapy.
Stress Reduction
Recent research has proven that light therapy can greatly reduce stress with its positive effects on mood, metabolism, blood pressure, digestion and the immune system. A lack of natural light or mal-illumination contributes to depression, fatigue, hair loss and other illnesses.
Studies have shown that under full spectrum indoor light and natural sunlight, people actually work better, problem solve better and concentrate harder. As well, critical thinking skills increase when a person is exposed to natural sunlight or full spectrum indoor lights. When the sun is shining, you're a lot less likely to become overly stressed and anxious.
Calorie Burner
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, in a single sauna session you may burn as many calories as you would jogging or rowing for 30 minutes. You lose weight also, not just water.
Often, people use saunas of all varieties to lose weight. In addition, the added benefit of this weigt lose is better cardiovascular health. Along with a bowl of whole grain cereal for breakfast, a SunSauna™ is a healthy addition to your intelligent lifestyle.
Sweat out Toxins - Detox
Toxic substances like alcohol, nicotine and heavy metals often get trapped in the body... causing ill health and possibly cancer. Deep infrared heat breaks down the ionic bonds of toxic molecules so that they can come out in your sweat. Infrared heat removes 15% to 20% more toxins through sweat than other forms of heat.
This is because far infrared heat penetrates soft tissue directly, heating the body from the inside out. Other forms of heat only heat the air around you, causing you to possibly become uncomfortable, and feel "muggy". Far infrared heat feels as though your bathing in natural sunlight, in the comfort of your home. As with any form of heat, be sure that as you sweat, you drink plenty of water to replace the fluids that you're sweating out. Out with the bad, in with the good.
Fight Cellulite
Infrared heat penetrates below the skin and helps break down the fat and water particles trapped in pockets beneath the skin. This helps to rid your body of unwanted fat and cellulite.
Many people spend vast amounts of money on serums, creams, rinses and compounds to help fight the look of cellulite. Many men and women have even gone to the extreme and have undergone expensice and risky cosmentic surgery. By far, the best and most effective way to help rid your body of unwanted cellulite is far infrared heat therapy. As with any weight loss method, you must maintain a healthy diet and excercise regularly to establish and maintain your weight loss goals.
Relieve pain
Infrared heat reduces lactic acid that can cause soreness in the body, therefor reducing swelling. It increases blood flow, which promotes healing and reduces muscle spasms and swelling. Physical therapists often use infrared heat to promote healing. Hositals use it in incubators for pre-maturely born babies.
Infrared heat is safe and does not contain any harmful UV rays from the Sun. The heat your body emits is in the far infrared spectrum. When you get a massage and feel the heat radiating from the massage therapists hands, what you're feeling is in fact far infrared heat. For hundreds of years, civilizations

(Seasonal Affective Disorder) or just a case of the Winter blues. SunSauna™ also helps with all types of depression, not only S.A.D.
