Why use an Infrared Sauna? Warmth. Heat. Sweat. Detoxification. Improved circulation. Stimulated immune system. Increased lymph flow. Heart health. Nourishment. Healing. Pain Relief. Rest. Reset. They can all be yours! All you need to do it lie down and let the Infrared Sauna do the work.

Clearlight Curve Dome

This particular sauna was selected because of its energy efficient hybrid carbon and ceramic heaters, low EMF shielding, gentle and even heat delivery to your body, and its optimal wavelength and intensity for healing and revitalization. It provides far IR light only (near IR is available via the LumiNIR Wand).

Infrared Sauna Experience

Let this sauna be your personal heat source and give you much needed relaxation time. Settle yourself on the massage table with the heated pad under you and the domes on top. You can lie on your back or on your belly (using the massage face rest). Some can even lie on their sides comfortably!

When you slide into the Sauna Dome, you can imagine yourself lying in the sun, on a beach, or anywhere you like! The heated pad under you provides adjustable warmth to get deep into your core. The two curved sections glide past each other allowing you easy entry and exit from the sauna. It is like sliding into a sleeping bag but no sticks and stones under you!
