Far-infrared & Peat

Infrared light (experienced as heat*) is the natural radient heat emitted by the sun. Indeed according to the 'University of Tennessee' the sun gives off half of its total energy as infrared (IR), and much of its visible light is also absorbed and re-emitted as IR. Lying just beyond the visable end of the electromagnetic spectrum scientists have classified them as: near Infrared, 120 to 400 THz (2,500 to 750 nm) ; Mid infrared, from 30 to 120 THz (10 to 2.5 μm) and far-infrared, from 300 GHz (1 mm) to 30 THz (10 μm).
Specifically Far infrared (FIR), sometimes known as Biogenetic Rays, are considered the most significant and beneficial infrared frequencies for our wellbeing, having the ability to penetrate all layers of the human physical body, deep into the inner-most regions of the tissues, muscles and bone. In particular technology such as specialty lamps and saunas, which deliver pure FIR (eliminating completely the near and mid infrared bands), have become a safe, effective, and widely used source to attain health benefits from its effects.
​
Far-infrared Sweat Therapy
Far infrared (FIR) saunas are able to increase sweat volume by 2-3% when compaired to traditional saunas while operating at a significantly cooler temperture range of 110F to 130F v 180F to 235F. Not only does this facilitate the ablility to stay in the sauna for longer periods of time but it also enables easier breathing and creates a more soothing, stimulating and detoxifying environment, thereby increasing the therapeutic effects.
Gently heating the body from within instead of heating the air, FIR, has the ability to penetrate the surface of the skin up to 50mm (2 inches), giving the body overall radient warmth. Its absorption has the capacity to activate, revilatise, regenerate, reactivate develope and strenghten various organs and supporting systems.
This works through: -
-
Stimulating the micro circulation encouraging the cellular uptake of nutrients and oxygen while removing toxic waste.
-
Increasing metabolic uptake and improving energy and vitality
-
Stimulating the immume system.
Is it safe?
​
FIR warmth is very safe. Indeed it is because of its ability to increase the bodys temperature at a more gradual pace, and the gentle response effect that has on increasing the heart rate, it is often used to rehabilitate people with congestive heart failure. Primarily this is because it is able to deliver a passive cardiovascular conditioning workout without putting strain on the heart: the same principle is used to warm premature babies. Additionally there are no magnetic forces sufficient to influence the functioning of a pacemaker and if you have a replacement hip/knee/metal plates FIR waves reflect off these types of prosthese therefore no discomfort should be experienced. Even silicone implants, which normally would only break down at around 200 (°C), are safe as the cabin max temp is only around 60(°C).

​
Experience under the guidance of a qualified therapist sessions are 30 or 60 minutes and can be taken alone or with a friend. The sauna also contains a full spectrum light** and a radio/cd palyer so reading material and your own choice of music is most welcome. Bathing wear or loose cotton clothing is desirable. Au-natural is strickly prohibited without prior agreement.
​
* Heat regulates many physiological reactions in the body, including the immune system and metabolism, while having a profound effect on your circulatory & detoxification pathways inside our body.
** This is the light recommended if you suffer from winter blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder. It also helps your body if you work for long periods in artificial light
Peat (PHT)
Peat Hyperthermia Therapy (PHT) is a highly beneficial treatment that can be used for a variety of health conditions aiding the elimination of highly damaging toxins and waste products from the bodys cells and tissues.
Experience in the comfort of your own home or in a clinic setting under the guidance of our qualified therapist, the choice is entirly yours. With two phases to the PHT treatment, the actual bath and the wrapped relaxation stage, together, both parts could take around 1½ hours (dependant on your heat/sweat tolerance levels).
Peat Bath Phase:
Completely natural and effective the peat is infused with a rich collection of flora, minerals, trace elements and organic substances such as amino acids, volatile oils, waxes and resins, vitamins, enymes and natural antibiotics, and other natural substances that are formed from the biological degradation of plant material leaving your skin feeling amazingly soft. Adding peat to a hot water bath maintains the temperature for an extended period of time, allowing for absorption of the beneficial nutrients and substances in the peat itself. What's more as the body temperature safely rises this in-turn causes the body to compensate by raising its heart rate (passive exercise) and simultaneously dissipating the heat to the skin opening up its sweat glands (active sweat). Additionally the high temperature of the bath mobilizes toxins from the fat cells where they are stored. Enhanced circulation carries them out of the tissues, and they are excreted through the five organs of elimination.
Wrapped relaxation phase:
After exiting the bath tub, the body is wrapped in towels and blankets while lying on a massage table/pre-made bed to keep and maintain the effects of the bath phase. During this phase the elevation in body temperature can be maintained, along with the elevation in heart rate and deep sweat. Additional procedures such as the Light Therapy Mask and/or Active Air an be added at this point to enhance relaxtion/theraputic. At the appropriate time, approx 30-60 minutes the therapy is complete.
Once you are done you may have a shower, however for maximum effect it is recommended that you refrain from using soap for up to 24 hours - some residue will remain on the body and you will benefit from these active healing properties for some 12 hours.
Reported benefits include:
+ Increased circulation promoting regeneration
+ Detoxification e.g. Mobilses deep fat & chemicals stored in your body for excretion
+ Increase metabolic rate
+ Hormonal balancing effect
+ Aids removal of chemicals and heavy metals
+ Enhanced immune system
+ Relieves pain & inflamation
+ Decreases stress
+ And much more .......

Having had a tooth infection for over a year that anti-biotics wouldn't even shift I decided to try Caroline's Infra Red Sauna treatment. It was a new experience for me to sit in a Sauna for an hour, but the temperature was comfortable and there was plenty of cool water on hand. I am amazed to say that after a few sessions the infection was cleared up and has not returned since in the following months. I followed this up with a colour/light therapy session to rebalance my chakras where Caroline used her light equipment and abilities to tune into my aura and fix any blockages. Her service was both professional and enlightening and comes highly recommended. Dane - West Sussex
