Top Benefits of an Infared Sauna + HUGE discount for my community

Five years ago, I had seen doctor after doctor. Some of them helped push me in the right direction, but I still had a lot of health issues lingering from my chronic Lyme. One holistic health practitioner recommended purchasing a sauna to help my body heal and detox (I have the MTHFR gene).

I was told that a sauna could be amazing for some of the symptoms I was living with — headaches, always feeling cold, inflammation, inability to detox, overall fatigue, and more.

So, I tried one at my local gym. And after just one use... I felt worse, not better. I was determined to figure out why. I brought it up at my next holistic doctor appointment and she asked me what type of sauna I used.

I told her it was a steam sauna and she said "oh, that's why it made you feel worse." Steam saunas are notorious for mold spores. Since I already had high mold in my blood, she said it "stirred up" the mold in my body. She recommended a specific brand and type of infrared sauna that didn't use steam.

I found a local spa that had the type of sauna my doctor recommended. I sat in it for 40 minutes.

Much to my surprise, I felt relaxed in the sauna. Afterwards I felt energized, and then I slept great that night — which had not happened in years. More importantly, it did not flare up any of my symptoms.

The type of sauna that worked so well for me was an Infrared Sauna.

Infrared saunas are very different from other types of saunas (dry sauna, steam sauna, heated rocks, etc.). Unlike steam, there is no moisture with an infrared sauna — meaning zero mold spores. And unlike other types of saunas, infrared saunas can be used effectively at lower temperatures, which is helpful for people with mold symptoms and histamine issues.

Infrared Sauna: How It Works + Health Benefits

Infrared light is felt as an internal heat — the same soothing, natural warmth from the sun, but without UV rays that cause sunburn or aging. You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without any risk of burning. Infrared light therapy is 100% safe.

Research on infrared saunas has shown the following health benefits:

• Helps with wound healing and muscle recovery
• Immune support
• Boosts metabolism
• Helps remove toxins from the body (detoxification) — including mold toxins, chemicals, and metals
• Inflammation-lowering effects
• Acts similarly to antioxidant nutrients
• Activates the cell healing cycles
• May help to potentially lower dementia/Alzheimer's risk

Not all infrared saunas are created equal. The best infrared saunas provide 3 different bands of infrared wavelengths:

1. Near Infrared
2. Mid Infrared
3. Far Infrared

Near Infrared reaches the skin's outermost layer. It energizes and regenerates cells. Benefits include cell health/immunity boost, faster wound healing, skin rejuvenation, and muscle recovery.

Mid Infrared wavelengths reach the body's soft tissue where inflammation occurs. Benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, and muscle recovery.

Far Infrared reaches deepest into the body, into the tissues where toxins are often stored. Benefits include weight loss, detoxification, relaxation, and immune support.

My Recommendation: Sunlighten Sauna

When I recommend something, I do a lot of research on that product. I take a lot into consideration and I try it for myself first.

The sauna I settled on is from Sunlighten. Here are the 5 major reasons why:

1. Has all 3 infrared wavelengths: near, mid, and far
2. Can get the health benefits at lower temperatures for shorter times
3. Low EMF (with 3rd party testing validation)
4. No chemical off-gassing
5. Sustainable materials used (better for the environment)

Sunlighten Saunas were 3rd party EMF tested in 2020 and 2021. This testing showed EMF levels were lower than 95% of common household devices like hair dryers or vacuum cleaners. They source all raw materials from PEFC-certified and FSC-certified woods and have done extensive third-party testing to ensure their saunas are made with safe, non-toxic materials.

The sauna I picked is made with hypoallergenic basswood — the wood I'd recommend if you have any chemical sensitivities or allergies.
