What is Infrared?

Infrared (IR) light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light but shorter than radio waves. Even though it's radiant energy is invisible to human eyes but we can feel as heat. Unlike ultraviolet light, which can damage the skin, infrared light is safe, natural, non-invasive, and painless. The key characteristic of infrared light is its ability to penetrate even the deep layers of the skin, providing better pain relief and enhance cell regeneration

Infrared Saunas

Unlike traditional saunas, an infrared sauna uses dry heat. Temperatures in infrared saunas typically range between 110°F and 135°F, while traditional saunas usually fall between 150°F and 195°F. Infrared therapy uses infrared light to penetrate the skin, offering numerous therapeutic benefits. Infrared saunas use infrared lamps to warm your body directly, with about 80% of the heat targeting your body and only 20% heating the air. This radiant heat penetrates the skin more deeply and efficiently at lower temperatures, making it more comfortable for longer sessions.

Benefits of Infrared Therapy

Cardiovascular Health

Infrared light increases the production of nitric oxide, a vital signaling molecule that is important for the health of blood vessels. Nitric oxide is essential in improving blood circulation.

Pain and Inflammation

Since infrared therapy enhances and improves circulation in the body, it can bring oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues, promoting healing. It helps ease pain, relieve inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress.

Muscular Injuries

Infrared therapy improves the action of the mitochondria within cells, thus triggering the growth and repair of new muscles cells and tissues.

Detoxification

The infrared heat also causes the body to sweat, which can help detoxify the body by expelling toxins through the skin.

What is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy, is a rapidly growing holistic treatment that mimics the microclimate of a salt cave. Clients breathe in micro-sized salt particles, which travel throughout the respiratory tract, reaching even the smallest alveoli and bronchioles. Halotherapy may help eliminate the root causes of inflammatory respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, and allergies by destroying bacteria and restoring health and immunity.

How Does Halotherapy Work?

In an enclosed environment, a halogenerator crushes and grinds salt into tiny particles, dispersing them into the air of a salt room or sauna. These particles are inhaled into the respiratory system and also settle on the skin. The halogenerator creates an antibacterial environment that draws out excess moisture, mucus, and impurities from both the airways and the skin. The salt particles dissolve and attract impurities, functioning like a "toothbrush" for the lungs.

Benefits of Halotherapy

Improve Respiration

Inhaling salt particles can help to clear mucus and reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. The salt particles can also help to kill bacteria and reduce the frequency of respiratory infections.

Repair skin barrier

Halotherapy can improve skin health by reducing inflammation, redness, and itchiness. It is often used as a complementary treatment for skin conditions such as eczema. The salt can help to balance the skin's pH and improve overall skin texture.

Stress Relief

The serene environment of a salt room or sauna, combined with the therapeutic properties of salt, can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Breathing in salt-infused air can have a calming effect on the nervous system.

Improve Immune System

Salt is believed to have antimicrobial properties and may help boost the immune system. Halotherapy may help prevent or reduce the severity of colds and other respiratory infections.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and emitted by the sun, are bioactive in humans. Red light therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses red low-level wavelengths of light to treat various skin issues, promote healing, and alleviate pain and inflammation. Initially used by NASA for plant growth and wound healing in astronauts, red light therapy has since been investigated for other uses. It is now widely accepted in photodynamic therapy.

How Does it Differ from Infarared Light?

Red light therapy (RLT) and infrared light therapy (ILT) are both forms of phototherapy that use specific wavelengths of light to provide therapeutic benefits. However, they differ in terms of the light wavelengths used, the depth of penetration, and their specific applications and benefits. Here’s a detailed comparison:

Red Light

Wavelengths typically in the range of 620 to 750 nanometers (nm) These wavelengths ncan penetrate the skin to a depth of about 5 to 10 millimeters.
Primarily used for improving skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It promotes collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity. It can also stimulate hair growth in individuals experiencing hair loss.
Typically does not generate significant heat, making it comfortable for surface treatments and safe for sensitive skin areas.

Infarared Light

Infrared light wavelengths are typically in the range of 700 nm to 1,000 nm. The longer wavelength penetrates much deeper into the body’s tissues, reaching up to several centimeters beneath the skin.
It is effective for treating deeper tissues, including muscles, joints, and bones. It helps reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote healing of deeper injuries. Infarared is beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, joint pain, and chronic pain conditions.
It generates heat, which can help relax muscles, reduce stiffness, and provide a soothing effect. This heat can enhance the therapeutic benefits, especially for pain relief and muscle relaxation.
