Infrared Sauna Therapy Brisbane
ELIMINATE TOXINS
What is infrared sauna therapy?
Detox your body with an invigorating and detoxifying deep tissue sweat while you relax in cosy comfort in our far-infrared (FIR) sauna. This service complements colon hydrotherapy (colonics) because they both function beautifully to detox the body.
The infrared energy and color light therapy trigger the body’s healing mechanisms which allow your stored toxins and the pollutants stored in fat cells to be dissolved and flushed out through natural body functions. As infrared light has the ability to penetrate your tissue, on a deeper level it produces a host of anti-aging health benefits as well as relief from chronic pain. This infrared light is even used to incubate premature babies.
You leave every session feeling fully refreshed because, unlike traditional saunas, our full-spectrum infrared saunas in Brisbane use special heaters that directly penetrate deeper into the body to release the toxins out of the body through this moisture. FIR-induced sweat removes up to 7 times more toxins, fats, and impurities than regular sweat while being very restorative to the body.
An infrared sauna in Brisbane has also been scientifically proven to encourage weight loss with a session burning through as many as 300-600 calories. Your body fights to cool itself which means your heart rate becomes accelerated thus burning calories without strenuous exercise. This in turn also increases your metabolism.

BENEFITS
Detoxification
Your skin is one of the biggest elimination pathways in your body and as a result one of the BIGGEST infrared sauna health benefits is its ability to increase your blood circulation and stimulate the sweat gland that releases built-up environmental toxins in the body. Sauna sweating rids your body of things such as lead, mercury, nickel, and other toxic metals. It can also help rid your body of built-up alcohol and nicotine residue as well as sulphuric acid, and other organic and inorganic compounds.
Calorie Burning
According to the Journal of American Medical Association, regular use of a sauna creates a similar boost to your cardiovascular system as running does. Even though you are relaxing in the cosy sauna, your body gets to work pumping blood, burning calories, and sweating out the crap stored in your largest elimination pathway, your skin. This in turn improves your blood circulation and increases your basal metabolic rate which indicates that you most likely are still burning calories for hours after the session has finished. In addition to burning calories, far-infrared heat can increase heart rate and localize blood circulation which essentially reverses the fat cells thus reducing your cellulite appearance.
Pain Relief
Because the Infrared heat and coloured light penetrate your tissue, joints, and muscles at a deeper level it becomes possible to help relieve pain stemming from overuse, strain, or strenuous exercise. Plus if you suffer from inflammation, muscle aches, stiffness, soreness, or joint pain, the infrared sauna can reduce and relieve (in some cases eliminate) this by relaxing the muscles but also increasing your blood circulation.
Blood Circulation
By increasing the flow of blood through our body we are able to aid in the faster recovery of not only skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis but also in injuries such as burns, open wounds. It can even help with reducing the visible appearance of scars.
Anti-Aging
Begin to love the skin you are in again by tapping into the sauna's infrared light therapy.
There are a variety of people that come to use the infrared sauna as it stimulates the production of collagen which helps to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone. The increased circulation also speeds up the delivery of nutrients to your skin which results in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.
Relaxation
Within just a couple of minutes of entering our sauna the gentle warmth and colour therapy will help you to relax and calm. The sauna will begin to balance your stress hormone cortisol levels while it increases your powerful serotonin hormone that is associated with a more restful, deeper sleep and relaxation. Walkout feeling rejuvenated, balanced, and calmer.
Chromotherapy (aka Light Therapy)
Chromotherapy is the science of healing with colour. Colour is light split into different wavelengths vibrating at different speeds and frequencies with each having its own energetic, healing properties.
We can use infrared, coloured light to adjust body vibrations and energy to frequencies that result in accelerated health and harmony. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms.
As a standard we allow the sauna to cycle through each of the colours so that your cells are getting the full spectrum of light that they need for optimum health. You, however, can choose to have one colour consistently during your session if you have a certain issue that you want to address.
Green
This colour is the perfect relaxant if you are needing to just destress and let go of life's pressures. Green light seems to lead to an increase in the body’s production of enkephalins, pain-killing opioid-like chemicals. It reduces inflammation, which plays a role in many chronic pain conditions.
Red
Utilize red to help with skin issues, such as scars, and persistent wounds, among other conditions. It can reduce inflammation and stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for younger-looking skin that diminishes with age.
Blue
The blue light is designed to stimulate your muscle & skin cells, nerves, and circulatory system. This may also destroy acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes). It can also help those with depression.
Turquoise
Also known as teal it is a blend of the blue and green lights and carries the attributes of both. It helps to rebuild and cleanses as well as reduce pain/inflammation, relieve infections. Teal works to boost immune function by stimulating the thymus gland.
Yellow
Yellow helps awaken mental inspiration arousing a higher mentality. It can help the pores of the skin by repairing scarred tissue. Typical issues treated by yellow are redness, flushing, irritation, and Rosacea, constipation, gas, liver troubles, stomach conditions, diabetes, eczema, and nervous exhaustion.
Purple
Violet purifies our thoughts and feelings giving us inspiration in all undertakings. The violet energy connects us to our spiritual self bringing guidance, wisdom, and inner strength and enhancing artistic talent and creativity.
