The Amazing Health Benefits Of Infrared Saunas

 

The Sanctuary Bodyworks and Sauna is inviting you to its Grand Opening on January 16th, 10 am-3pm. The owners, Jan Lesieur and Nathalie Snyder, are proud to introduce Sunlighten signature sauna, the only sauna on the market that is proven 95-99% effective and that is the most recommended by doctors.

 

Sunlighten saunas use infrared heat instead of hot rocks or steam used in traditional saunas. Traditional saunas heat the air at extremely high temperatures which can make the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because infrared heats the body directly instead of simply heating the air, infrared saunas are seven times more effective for detoxification.

 

In a Sunlighten sauna, you will experience the deepest, most detoxifying sweat of your life.  The health benefits of Sunlighten infrared sauna are numerous.  Detoxification Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal, stay healthy and detoxify. In a Sunlighten sauna, the average person sweats out 20% toxins and 80% water, while in a conventional sauna, the average person only sweats out 3% toxins and 97% water.

 

Weight Loss. Studies have shown a 40 minute infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories. As the body works to cool itself while using an infrared sauna, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate.

 

Relaxation. Sunlighten saunas deliver the ultimate experience in relaxation. With the most therapeutic infrared heat found in Solocarbon® heating technology, our saunas are guaranteed to help you relax in comfort with an invigorating sweat that will have you feeling stress-free with each session.

 

Pain Relief. Clinical research on pain has shown evidence of heat responsive pain or HRP, which encompasses several common pain conditions that can be specifically treated with the use of our infrared heat therapy.

 

Blood Pressure Reduction. Sunlighten’s Solocarbon® heaters were shown in a clinical study by the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2005 to lower blood pressure from a 30 minute infrared sauna session three times per week.

 

Improved Circulation. Sunlighten saunas heat your muscles with infrared rays and produces an increase in blood flow similar to regular exercise. Blood flow during infrared sauna use has been reported to rise from a normal rate of 5-7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.

 

Skin Purification. A study showed significant improvements in skin appearance after just 12 weeks of sauna skin therapy using near-infrared technology. Participants experienced a reduction in wrinkles and crow’s feet, as well as improved overall skin tone, including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness.

 

Wound Healing. Studies conducted by NASA concluded that NIR LED light significantly promotes faster cell regeneration, wound healing and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increased by 155%-171% in some cases and wound size decreased by 36%.

 

Cell Health. Sunlighten infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system, which causes more toxins to flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.

 

Come and learn more how Sunlighten sauna therapy can support you in achieving your optimal health and well being.

Sage Wellness Center Offering 2016 New Year Resolution Support

 

So here we are, the beginning of a new year. Have you made a commitment to yourself to better your health, mind, body and soul? Sage is a community resource to help you reach your goals with education and compassion. We have classes to support you and guide you on your journey.

 

Mindfulness and Meditation go hand in hand to bring clarity, focus, peace, and awareness into your life. Mindfulness allows you to pay attention with purpose and to be gentle as you explore what lies underneath the busyness of the day. It helps you to get to know yourself and to be gentle and kind in that knowing. Meditation is not about clearing the mind of thoughts but rather becoming aware of yourself and the habits that reflect themselves in your experience. Healthy choices can be made when we SLOW to KNOW. Students will be taught both formal and informal meditation, supporting the integration of mindfulness into daily living. A variety of techniques will be offered, increasing your comfort level and capacity to be present with the moments that arrive. 5 week session to starts Wednesday January 13 at 4:15-5:15pm. Meeting weeks are consecutive and each class builds upon another.

 

Find Your Fit is a health-gain program that seeks to support the whole of you as you transition your relationship to food and self. Instead of feeling deprived, agitated, or powerless to make lasting change, you’ll learn techniques and new habits that will leave you feeling empowered and in charge. While most weight reduction programs spend the majority of their time on food and calorie calculations, Find Your Fit goes deeper to spend time nurturing our internal world - emotions, cravings, stress triggers, self-love and worth. When our body and soul feel loved, health comes more easily. And with mindful awareness and small daily steps, lasting change can be yours. Free Overview Wednesday January 13, 5:30pm. 8 week class expected to begin the following Wednesday.

 

Tai Chi is to Asian medicine as physical therapy is to Western medicine. It has been described as the “perfect exercise”. Its soothing movements are performed individually and slowly in a standing position requiring no special equipment or clothing. Despite the relative ease with which it can be performed, tai chi has been classified as a moderate aerobic exercise. Researchers have found that tai chi simultaneously increases blood flow, relaxation and concentration while reducing inflammation. As a result tai chi has been scientifically proven to help in addressing six out of the ten top reasons for which patients visit their doctors - back pain; arthritis; insomnia; hypertension; anxiety; and, depression. Tai Chi is held on Fridays at 5:00pm for new students and 6:00pm for more experienced students.

 

Gentle Flow Yoga connects movement with the breath at a relaxing pace. This slower paced class teaches a variety of yoga poses and is excellent for students new to yoga or for those seeking a calming experience. It helps students learn to connect the breath with movement while stretching and strengthening. This is also a great class for students with injuries or physical concerns. Yoga is held Saturdays at 9:00am.

 

Sage Wellness Center is your resource for healthy living in the Suncook Valley region. Our mission at Sage is to provide a safe and supportive environment where community members are encouraged to achieve and maintain their optimal health goals through the guidance of integrated health care practitioners, wellness and fitness education.

Letter To The Editor

 

Just got back from the State House. I was down there accosting lawmakers into supporting the Pumpkin Bill. (Treating marijuana almost like a pumpkin).

 

I really like Concord, its new Main St., City Hall, and the State House area. There’s a lot for a stoneman to see. The buildings are beautiful and the people are too.

 

The reason I like City Hall is they gave me a permit on Tuesday for Wednesday and Thursday, to accost the lawmakers respectfully. Michelle really helped me out.

 

I apologize to the lawmaker I was disrespectful to and that “Pittsfield was going to allow it anyway,” when he said, “Never. I get the vote, not you.”

 

Anyway, after hearing a report how the lawmakers first got together, it was said something like, we need to respect each other and get along. So, I’m sorry.

 

Today I kept it toned down a notch.

 

I’m out there on Main St. Saturdays in Pittsfield. Stop by if you want marijuana allowed in Pittsfield. You gotta vote. I’ll show you how.

 

A fella named Nate stopped by and asked me when is marijuana gonna be legal. I told him never, unless we make it happen. Nothin’ happens by itself.

 

Let’s turn up the heat. Find me.
