Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS SALT THERAPY?
Salt therapy (also known as “halotherapy”) is a holistic, drug free, natural healing therapy that is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Using micro particles of salt with 84 natural elements and minerals, salt therapy treats respiratory ailments like asthma, allergies, and cold viruses, along with inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
When this air is breathed in, it helps to replenish natural elements that your body has lost from the environment due to pollution, stress and exposure to electromagnetic frequencies that are ever-present in your daily life.
WHAT IS AN INFRARED SAUNA?
An infrared sauna uses infrared technology to mimic the light naturally produced by the sun. This light penetrates your skin causing your body to heat from within which causes you to sweat. The process of sweating releases stored toxins, cleanses bacteria from the skin, improves circulation and oxygenation through dilation of blood vessels and improved blood flow, releases endorphins which relieves stress and calms our mood and provides relief and recovery for sore muscles, improves sleep, burns calories and lowers blood pressure.
CAN I EAT THEN SAUNA?
Wait at least 1 – 2 hours after eating before beginning a far infrared sauna session.
HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I DRINK?
Stay Hydrated! A good rule of thumb is to divide your body weight by two and drink a minimum of that many ounces of water on a daily basis. (160 lbs. divided by 2 = 80 ounces of water or eight 10-ounce glasses of water, daily. Drink plenty of good water, fruit juice, iced tea, green tea before, during and after your sauna routine.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I SWEAT?
Everyone is different. You may not sweat a lot during your first 2-3 sauna sessions. This is normal for many people, as they haven’t had a recent history of sweating.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS I SHOULD GET OUT?
Take care not to overheat during your first few sessions. If you feel lightheaded, have a queasy stomach, or start to get a headache, terminate session immediately. As the body continues to adjust, sweating can increase dramatically, and body temperature regulation becomes more effective.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I FEEL TOO HOT?
If sauna cabin temperature becomes too hot for your comfort, or the cabin becomes ‘stuffy’, you may slide open the ceiling vent to or, just open the door for a minute or so, to let some fresh air inside
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Sauna Apparel is what you are comfortable in- Lightweight shorts and tee shirt are ok. Swim suits are better. “Birthday Suit” is fine, too.
HOW SHOULD I SIT IN THE SAUNA?
Place layers of towels on the bench seat to absorb perspiration during your session. Far infrared will penetrate clothing and towels.
WHAT SHOULD I DO INSIDE THE SAUNA?
Meditate, Relax or Stretch! Stretching your arms, legs, neck, back area, etc. during your far infrared sauna session you can achieve increased body flexibility, range of motion, and reduce chronic stiffness and problem areas. Massage congested and “knotty” muscle areas.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I GET OUT OF THE SAUNA?
When you finish your sauna session, it is important to relax and cool down while your body continues to perspire. Then take a shower.
