Depression is something that many people face in their lives, and it can be an arduous journey to find ways to help cope with its effects. However, heat therapy is one of the oldest forms of healing, and there have been promising studies on how infrared heat, in particular, can help alleviate depression symptoms.
Eastern medicine traditionally used heat for centuries to balance your body’s energy and help reduce stress levels. Using traditional methods and modern technology, Sunlighten® infrared heat saunas provides Solocarbon 3-in-1 consisting of near (NIR), mid (MIR) and far (FIR) infrared waves and red light therapy targeting depression.
The heat and infrared light waves emitted by the infrared heat sauna helps to increase your body’s overall temperature, which helps to reduce inflammation and results in improved physical and emotional well-being. By increasing heat, your body can produce heat shock proteins (HSPs), which have been helpful in some studies to reduce depression symptoms.
Depression can manifest in many forms, including but not limited to feeling sad and hopeless, fatigue and energy loss, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, irritability and restlessness.
The heat and infrared light waves emitted by the infrared heat sauna helps to increase your body’s overall temperature, improving circulation and enabling your body to detox more quickly. The heat also stimulates endorphin production - a neurotransmitter that registers pleasure in the brain - which may reduce symptoms of depression.
There are various ways that infrared saunas help to relieve depression; sweating is one of them. Sweating is the body’s safest and most natural way to heal and maintain good health. Sunlighten® high-quality infrared heat promotes effortless, deep, productive sweat. Sweating helps to naturally detoxify the body, which can reduce stress levels and help alleviate depression symptoms.
In addition, Sunlighten® patented heating technology has natural preventive properties that provide cell health benefits and help boost overall immunity. Healthy cells help to keep your body healthy, positively affecting mental health and relieving depression symptoms.
Infrared heat also acts like a passive cardio workout, helping to strengthen your heart by improving circulation and lowering blood pressure. Infrared heat-induced stimulation helps to improve oxygen flow throughout the body, which relaxes muscles and can have a calming effect on the mind.
As well as near-infrared heat therapy, red light therapy is also an effective way of treating depression. Red light therapy uses red LED lights that emit wavelengths of light absorbed by your skin’s cells. The therapy stimulates the production of serotonin in the brain, leading to improved mood and energy levels. Sunlighten® red light sauna capsules use full-spectrum natural sunlight with all wavelengths required for optimal results - promoting vitality and well-being.
Near-infrared heat therapy uses wavelengths of heat from the sun that are invisible to the human eye. Unlike traditional heat therapies, near-infrared heat penetrates deeper into your skin and tissues, increasing blood flow and helping to reduce inflammation. Sunlighten® heat therapy technique works to heat the body without raising its core temperature, making it a safe and effective heat therapy for depression.
We have already mentioned near-infrared therapy waves, but Sunlighten® goes one step further by creating the only sauna that can provide a 3-in-1 system to combat depression and anxiety.
Solocarbon 3-in-1 consists of near, mid and far infrared waves penetrating different layers in your body to provide better outcomes. In addition, the Solocarbon 3-in-1 system provides full-body coverage with no cold spots or hot zones. This combination of short and long-wavelength heat ensures deeper penetration into the body’s tissues while delivering effective surface temperature to enhance relaxation and reduce tension.
The Solocarbon 3-in-1 system also provides a natural anti-inflammatory and detoxification effect, improving overall well-being, which can play a significant role in depression relief.
If you combine red light therapy with Solocarbon 3-in-1 solutions, you get a unique and highly effective combination that can help to relieve depression.
Sunlighten® heat solutions are unique in combining Solocarbon 3-in-1 and red light therapy with traditional heat therapies. This helps to provide a robust heat therapy that is kind enough for even the most sensitive skin types. Sunlighten® heat solutions are also certified by medical and wellness professionals and are designed to be effective and safe, making them excellent heat therapy for depression relief.
Combined therapies mean that Sunlighten® tackles depression in several ways.
By tacking inflammation
Acting as a form of passive cardo
Stimulation of neural signals by heating the skin
Red light therapy to stimulate serotonin
These therapies can provide relief from depression without the need for medication.
Solocarbon 3-in-1 infrared light therapy is also known for its anti-inflammatory benefits and ability to reduce pain. Sunlight heat solutions have been proven to help with arthritis, fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions. It can also improve skin health, lower blood pressure, increase energy levels and promote better sleep - all of which may contribute to relieving depression symptoms.
You can expect an increased metabolic rate and improved circulation as a side effect. This heat therapy can also increase flexibility, reduce stress levels and even help to reduce cellulite - all things that can contribute to a more efficient metabolic rate and, ultimately, weight loss.
Sunlighten® has created a unique combination of full-spectrum natural sunlight with all the wavelengths required for optimal results - promoting vitality and well-being. The Solocarbon 3-in-1 system is innovative in targeting depression and other conditions using heat therapy combined with red light therapy. This gentle heat therapy can provide relief from depression and other disorders, as well as improve overall health. For anyone looking for a safer, natural alternative to treat depression, Sunlighten® infrared heat solutions are worth considering.
