Salt Cabin

Halotherapy (also know as Salt Therapy) is an inhalation of kinetically activated pure dry salt particles. Dry salt is super absorbent, antibacterial, and antifungal. These micro sized salt particles travel deep into the respiratory system and absorb excess moisture, remove allergens, toxins, foreign substances, break up stagnated mucus, restore the function of cilia and widen the airways for better lung function and more efficient oxygen distribution. Halotherapy is also topically beneficial and can help manage many skin conditions.

While the list is extensive, here are some of the many conditions from which Halotherapy could help provide relief:

• Allergies
• Asthma
• Bronchitis
• Bronchial Infections
• COPD
• Cold & Flu
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Emphysema
• Pneumonia

Infrared

Infrared is a safe and gentle wavelength in the natural spectrum of light. It penetrates human tissue and the energy it delivers is just the right nudge cells need to stimulate warmth, growth, and release. Infrared saunas emit lightwaves that penetrate the body to stimulate health benefits from within.

Traditional saunas heat the air to a point that initiates the body’s natural cooling process. This means that blood comes to the surface of the skin and opens the pores.

Infrared saunas emit safe lightwaves that penetrate the body to stimulate the health benefits from within at a cellular level and allow for a deeper detox.

Renegade Wellness Center has chosen a far infrared sauna bed. This allows for a private, comfortable experience and allows you to keep your face out of the direct heat. Since your face tends to get hot first, keeping it out of the sauna bed allows your body to tolerate longer sessions and therefore deeper detox and better health benefits.

Your session will total 45 minutes which includes 25-40 minutes in the sauna depending on your preference and the rest of the time spent as cool down time in a relaxing environment. A bottle of water will be provided so that you can rehydrate. Your session will also include rose water mist and cooling pads for the eyes or forehead applied 15 minutes into your session if you like.

Yes, the infrared sauna bed has 3 different sections that can be controlled separately to create a custom experience for you.

The less you wear the better. It is recommended to get in the sauna bed without clothing so that the infrared can penetrate your tissues as deep as possible. You may wear undergarments or light gym clothing if you are more comfortable just make sure to bring fresh ones to change into after your session since you will be sweating. Spa wraps are also provided for cool down so that you can stop sweating before you get dressed.

Infrared therapy at Renegade Wellness Center is geared for ages 16 and up. However, infrared therapy is used on newborns in hospitals so it is safe for children with some restrictions and a shorter session. Please ask if you are interested in sessions for children younger than 16 and we can discuss your options and whether it is right for your child.

You should not use the infrared sauna if you are pregnant, have cardiovascular issues including a pacemaker or defibrillator, are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, have a chronic condition that reduces your ability to sweat, are a hemophiliac or are prone to bleeding, or if you have a fever or insensitivity to heat.
