SaunaSpace Photon Red Filtered Incandescent Light Therapy User Manual

ABOUT SAUNA THERAPY

Throughout history, humans have used sauna therapy, also known as hyperthermic therapy, as a safe and powerful means of detoxification. Sauna therapy heats the body, dramatically increasing blood-flow to the vital organs and skin, unlocking even hard to reach toxins. Sweating during vigorous exercise can raise the body temperature, but the “fight or flight” (sympathetic) state decreases deep organ blood flow. When you work-out you sweat, but you don’t detox much at all. Only in a “rest & digest” (parasympathetic) nervous state will sweating result in detoxification. Like sweating in a sauna.

The near infrared advantage
Near infrared (NIR) light and heat herapy has the power to change your body and mind. The beneficial effects positively impact acute and chronic infections, skin rejuvenation, the immune system, aging and longevity, and more.

Deep tissue penetration
Higher energy NIR light (versus lower energy far infrared) can penetrate up to 9 inches into the body reaching even internal organs. NIR light therapy provides improved cellular healing and energy compared to far infrared emitters, an important difference. Toxin protection, anti-inflammation and pain relief are additional benefits.

Phototherapy
Specific wavelengths of near infrared light are absorbed by mitochondrial photoreceptor proteins, directly activating increased metabolism, healing and detoxification processes in the cells and tissues.

Safety & efficiency
Incandescent near infrared bulbs are both ultra-low EMF and energyefficient. NIR bulbs provide the therapeutic effects inherent in the NIR band of natural sunlight, but without the harmful ionizing UV radiation.

For your safety and enjoyment, read this user manual carefully before using your SaunaSpace® product.
