Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional saunas operate at very high temperatures and heat the air around you. This means they can be uncomfortably hot for some people, and as the air around you is only in contact with your skin, the sauna can only act on your body at a superficial level.

Our Infrared Sauna uses infrared wavelengths varying from near-infrared through to far-infrared, which can penetrate your tissues at a deeper and targetable depth. Infrared Saunas can provide greater therapeutic detoxification for your tissues at a lower more comfortable temperature than traditional saunas.

Our sauna is a private 2 person cabin and as with all saunas we recommend you wear the least you feel comfortable with. Most females wear their underwear or bathers or wrap a towel around themselves. We request that a towel be brought along with each session. A shower is available for use after the session if required.
