What is chromotherapy?

Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to create enhanced health and wellness. The approach is based on the fact that colors fall along the visible spectrum of light and are the product of a combination of energy and matter. Each color has a fixed quantity of energy, wavelength, and frequency.

The cells, organs, and atoms within your body also have their own frequency and vibration energy. Chromotherapy holds that when those vibrations are interrupted or altered, various health problems can arise. Chromotherapy works by exposing your body to specific colors to balance your system and support your cells and organs.

What is infrared sauna therapy?

You may be familiar with traditional saunas, which are the type most commonly found in gyms, spas, and resorts. These saunas are enclosed spaces that are heated using steam or dry heating methods. They are designed to encourage your body to sweat while you rest and relax. 

Infrared saunas work a bit differently. Instead of heating the entire space, an infrared sauna uses advanced technology to heat your body without causing a significant increase in the surrounding air temperature.

This approach makes it easier to tolerate longer sessions in the sauna, and therefore reap more benefits. Traditional saunas can quickly create overwhelming heat, and many people cannot remain inside for long.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between an infrared sauna and a traditional sauna?

Traditional saunas heat the air around you, while infrared saunas use light waves to gently heat your body directly. This allows for longer sessions at lower temperatures with similar or enhanced benefits.

Is chromotherapy safe?

Yes, chromotherapy is noninvasive and drug-free. It uses specific wavelengths of light to support balance and wellness, and is generally well tolerated by most individuals.

How often should I use the infrared sauna?

Many clients benefit from sessions 1–3 times per week. Your provider will recommend a frequency based on your wellness goals and how your body responds to treatment.

What are the benefits of combining chromotherapy with sauna use?

The heat from the infrared sauna enhances circulation and detoxification, while chromotherapy adds a calming, restorative element by using specific light colors to support emotional and physical balance.

Will I sweat as much in an infrared sauna?

Yes. Although the temperature is lower, the infrared heat penetrates more deeply into the body, which often results in a more intense and detoxifying sweat compared to traditional saunas.

Do I need to prepare for my sauna session?

We recommend staying hydrated before and after your session. Wear comfortable clothing or use the towel provided, and avoid applying lotions or oils prior to treatment for best results.

Can infrared sauna and chromotherapy help with pain or recovery?

Yes. These therapies may assist with muscle recovery, joint stiffness, and general inflammation, making them helpful for active individuals or those managing chronic pain.
