Saunas are often viewed as an “alternative health” therapy, but the centuries-old practice of relaxing in a steam sauna has very real medical benefits. While there are many saunas available for home use today, most are lacking one important thing: they’re not designed by doctors.
The Medical Sauna full spectrum sauna aims to change this by offering a line of saunas designed and backed by doctors.
Who is Medical Sauna?
Medical Saunas is a part of the Medical Breakthrough family. They design their saunas to maximize the health benefits of this practice, and their models are recommended by more than 26 MDs.
To create their saunas, the company worked with healthcare professionals, including pain specialists, doctors and cardiologists. Their products are the result of 10 years of research and development.
The benefits offered by Medical Sauna are backed by documented studies, and each one is built with care.
The Technology Behind Medical Breakthrough Saunas
Medical Saunas are built with healing in mind, so they’re different from the usual saunas you find online and in stores.
Let’s take a closer look how these saunas work and the technologies behind them.
Full Spectrum Infrared
Medical Saunas use a combination of infrared and traditional stove heating to give you the best of both worlds. With the touch of a button, you can switch between these two heating technologies.
Medical Saunas come equipped with full spectrum infrared heaters that include:
- Near infrared
- Mid infrared
- Far infrared
Hybrid Option
Some models from Medical Saunas are hybrid, which means that they have both full-spectrum infrared heaters and traditional sauna stoves.
Hemlock Construction
Medical Saunas constructs its saunas with natural hemlock, which is known for its medicinal qualities. One great thing about this type of wood is that hardens as it ages, so it get more durable as time goes on.
Hemlock is also known for its astringent properties, which can help with detoxification.
Rapid Internal Heating System
The saunas from Medical Saunas come equipped with the company’s unique Rapid Internal Heating System. Unlike other saunas, which can take up to two hours to heat up, these saunas heat up in as little as 40 minutes.
Chromatic Therapy
Chromatherapy uses colors to adjust the body’s vibrations to frequencies that can offer therapeutic benefits.
Medical Saunas come equipped with LED lights on the inside. These color-changing lights change the color of the sauna’s interior, providing different signals to your body. The goal is to help improve and regulate mood.
Research shows that chromatherapy may help with a number of conditions, including chronic paina and depression.
