Infrared Sauna and Salt Therapy in Lakewood Ranch

Halotherapy, (Halo is Greek for salt) known as Dry Salt Therapy, is a holistic, drug free, natural approach to improving your health by emulating the microclimate of a natural salt cave. Dry salt air, using medical grade microparticles of salt, is dispersed into a booth through a unique process generated by a halo generator. This type of treatment is a safe and effective way of using salt’s natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and absorbent properties to help provide relief for respiratory ailments, skin conditions, and sleeplessness, while boosting your athletic performance, immune system and helping with detoxification.

Salt Therapy stimulates the body’s natural processes for cleansing the respiratory system, removing foreign particles which cause many respiratory ailments, including COPD, smoker’s cough, chronic bronchitis, chronic sinusitis and hay fever to name just a few.

Your largest organ, your skin, benefits from the pH balancing properties of salt while helping the regenerative and reparative processes, stimulating cell growth and microcirculation. Thus, benefiting anyone who is suffering from acne, eczema, rosacea or just dry flaky skin. Salt Therapy helps strengthen the immune system by increasing the production capacity of lymph cells. Skin diseases such as psoriasis are a result of immune system failures, so that the strengthening of the immune system is found to help improve the body’s reaction to this skin ailment.

Dry salt therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. As always, please consult your physician. While there have been many clinical and scientific studies conducted on dry salt therapy throughout the world, the FDA has not evaluated the benefits of using Halo Therapy.

Contraindications

If any of the below apply to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use:

· Cardiovascular Issues, Obesity or Diabetes – Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use

· Medications – Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician since some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics such as amitriptyline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.

· Alcohol & Drug Abuse – Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. The use of alcohol, drugs or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.

· Elderly – The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

· Children – The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.

· Chronic Conditions / Diseases Associated with Reduced Ability To Sweat Or Perspire – Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician.

· Hemophiliacs / Individuals Prone to Bleeding – The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.

· Fever & Insensitivity to Heat – Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.

· Pregnancy – Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.

· Menstruation – Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase menstrual flow. This should not preclude sauna use.

· Joint Injury – Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the first 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.

· Implants – Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using.

· Pacemakers / Defibrillators – The magnets used to assemble our saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.
