Infrared Sauna at Soul Care

Soul Care Studio + Sauna uses premium saunas that are both luxurious and effective. The therapeutic benefits of infrared heat are our main focus.

Our sauna uses carbon/ceramic heaters. Carbon heaters produce high quality, long wave infrared heat that is highly therapeutic. Ceramic heaters are powerful and emit a lot of infrared heat in shorter wavelengths.

The carbon in our heaters allows the heater to produce long wave far infrared heat. This long wave infrared heat penetrates deeper into your body and the infrared heat is more readily absorbed. The ceramic in our heaters gives the heaters a very high infrared output when compared to traditional carbon heaters so we can concentrate the heat directly on your body.  

These carbon/ceramic heaters emit virtually no-EMF (electromagnetic fields). The heaters are tested by the manufacturer using a laboratory grade EMF meter. By measuring directly on top of the heaters an average EMF output of about 2.5 milligauss (mg) is detected. Compare that to over 100mg for other lower quality saunas. Even better, where you are sitting in the sauna, there is virtually no EMF.

Why Heater Quality and Placement Matter

At Soul Care you will get near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths in the sauna. Together these offer the greatest combination of health benefits.

Near - Shortest wavelength, penetrates deepest to raise core temperature, stimulates energy production within cells

Mid - Increases circulation by vasodilation (widening) of blood vessels

Far - Longest wavelength, activates sweat glands, creates vibration with our body’s own infrared emissions, allowing expulsion of toxins through the skin (…and urine, feces, exhalations)

The larger size of our sauna heaters mean more surface area, resulting in lower surface temperature. The result of these lower temperatures is that our heaters produce more FAR or LONG wave infrared heat which is more therapeutic. At Soul Care Studio + Sauna, this means your body receives more infrared within the optimal wavelength range of 6 to 12 microns with a large portion of wavelengths at 9.4 microns. The human body absorbs the most infrared at 9.4 microns.

Additionally, you get a lot of heat directed at your body core because of the position of the heaters. You’ll have heaters facing you from the front, back, at your calves beneath the benches, and from inside the floor. This core temperature increase boosts your immune system and elevates your heart rate for a mild cardiovascular exercise.

Research on the benefits of infrared sauna

Chromotherapy

LED color light therapy is optional while you enjoy the infrared sauna. Pick from a selection of 12 colors to activate your circulatory and nervous system, relax, stimulate cell regeneration, or energize.

Chromotherapy is the process of restoring balance to the body by applying color. Each light color is a different wavelength vibrating at a different frequency.

Our sauna uses powerful medical-grade chromotherapy, 96 LED lights with an array of 12 colors – red, blue, strong blue, orange, green, strong green, yellow, strong yellow, indigo, strong indigo, strong pink, and violet.

The premise of chromotherapy is that each color is associated with a different bodily response. 

For example, red is typically associated with stimulation, while blue is considered a mentally relaxing color.
