Have a Strong, Healthy Immune System – Use Infrared Sauna Regularly
Marsha • January 2, 2022

Infrared Sauna Use Creates Robust Immune System

A NASA study shows that near-infrared therapy, delivered by LEDs deep into body tissue, can quadruple cell health and tissue growth. Several studies have shown that LEDs (like those found in our mPulse sauna) stimulate white blood cell production and collagen growth by increasing energy at the cellular level. Therefore, continual infrared sauna use strengthens your immune system and provides significant health benefits.

Detoxification via Infrared Sauna

With an increase in cellular energy, detoxification happens more readily. Detoxification is essential and necessary to strengthen the body’s immune system. Our biochemical processes function more efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods, which protects the body against foreign invaders, like viruses. Without detoxification, a build-up of toxic substances can lead to a host of common illnesses.

Better Circulation Results Improves Immune System

Infrared therapy also stimulates the circulatory system causing the heart to beat more vigorously and blood vessels to dilate. This stimulation helps cleanse the circulatory system and more fully adds oxygen to the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery, and strengthen the immune system by raising the core body temperature.

More Productive Sweat with Infrared Sauna

Raising core body temperature is critical. Although infrared saunas heat you differently than a fever, the increased body temperature provides the same benefits, including white blood cell and T-cell production, to ward off viruses. Sunlighten saunas (which our mPulse sauna is) are the only ones to have been proven to raise core body temperature by 2-3 degrees.

Infrared saunas remove more toxins through the skin than traditional saunas because:

  • with infrared sauna, only 80 to 85% of the sweat is water with the non-water portion being cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, toxic heavy metal, sulfuric acid, sodium ammonia, and uric acid as opposed to
  • 95-97% of sweat composed of water with salt making up a part of the rest, in traditional saunas. (source: Sunlighten).

Root Causes of 80% of All Illnesses – Infrared Sauna Helps

The United States Center for Disease Control estimates that the root causes of more than 80% of all illnesses are connected to lifestyles or personal environments. Increasing energy at the cellular level, improving blood circulation and raising the core body temperature all help to detoxify toxins out of the body, allowing the immune system to be robust against threats in our environment.

Infrared Sauna Waves

Our mPulse sauna can help as it is unique in that it has all three infrared ranges: near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared, making its full spectrum. Most infrared saunas are not full spectrum. 

  • Near-infrared waves are for cell health and immunity, 
  • Mid-infrared waves are for pain relief and increased circulation (necessary for the detoxification process), and
  • Far-infrared waves complete the detoxification process.

Infrared saunas also relax the body, decreasing stress and tension, thereby helping to boost immune function. When you are relaxed, you are happier, and happier makes a more vigorous immune system.

To experience immune-strengthening benefits of Infrared sauna fully, use at least twice a week throughout the year. Start now, where-ever you are with your health, and feel the benefits of Infrared saunas now.

This blog explores the unique health benefits of morning and afternoon light, highlighting how each supports overall wellness. Morning light helps regulate your circadian rhythm, boosts mood through serotonin production, improves sleep quality, and aids in safe vitamin D synthesis. Afternoon light, while less impactful on circadian rhythms, encourages physical activity, stabilizes mood, and promotes relaxation with its warm, golden glow. Practical tips are shared to maximize benefits from both, while emphasizing safety measures like monitoring UV exposure. Whether you prefer a sunrise walk or an afternoon jog, embracing natural light can transform your health and energy levels.

How AI is Transforming Drug Discovery for Rare Diseases Rare diseases affect over 300 million people worldwide, yet only a small fraction have FDA-approved treatments. A new AI model, TxGNN, developed at Harvard Medical School, offers hope by identifying potential drug candidates for over 17,000 diseases. This breakthrough technology uses vast datasets to repurpose existing drugs, accelerating treatment development and reducing costs. Key Points: Challenges for Rare Diseases: Limited funding, high costs, and lengthy approval processes leave 90% of rare diseases untreated. TxGNN’s Role: The AI identifies shared mechanisms across diseases, repurposes existing medications, and predicts side effects to improve safety and efficiency. Impact Examples: Conditions like Rett syndrome, ALS, and Chagas disease may benefit from repurposed therapies identified by TxGNN. Advantages of Drug Repurposing: Faster development, lower costs, safer therapies, and potential for personalized medicine. AI-driven tools like TxGNN m

Emerging research reveals that Alzheimer’s disease often begins with subtle behavioral changes—such as mood swings, impulsivity, and irritability—long before memory loss appears. These early symptoms are linked to the disease’s first phase, where silent brain damage affects inhibitory neurons responsible for emotional and behavioral regulation. Key findings include: Two Phases of Brain Damage: The early "silent" phase focuses on mood and behavior, while the second phase involves memory loss and cognitive decline. Behavioral Alarms: Increased impulsivity, emotional instability, and social inappropriateness may signal early Alzheimer’s. Importance of Early Intervention: Early detection can enhance the effectiveness of medications, provide access to innovative treatments, and improve long-term planning and care. Recognizing these early warning signs empowers families to seek help sooner, giving individuals a better quality of life and more time to prepare.

Blue Light: A Powerful Tool for Better Sleep and Health Blue light is more than just a type of light; it’s a critical regulator of our circadian rhythms. Exposure during the day helps boost alertness and focus, while overexposure at night can disrupt sleep and health. At The Center, we emphasize managing blue light exposure to enhance sleep, energy, and overall well-being. Key Points: Impact of Blue Light: It reduces melatonin production, making it harder to sleep when exposed at night, and can disrupt metabolism, mood, and cognitive function. Shift Worker Benefits: Morning blue light therapy helps reset circadian rhythms, boosting focus, mood, and energy levels for those with irregular schedules. Health Implications: Overexposure at night is linked to long-term risks like diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and mood disorders. Simple Solutions: Use blue-light filters, blocking glasses, dim lights at night, and prioritize natural sunlight during the day. Blue light, when used strategically, can be a powerful
