Benefits of infrared heat during your massage or facial

This technology mat is replacing my traditional spa table warmer, allowing more temperature settings and healing benefits.

What are Far Infrared Rays?

A type of deeply penetrating, natural, invisible light. It’s a warm, comfortable part of sunlight that stimulates cells and is used for plant photosynthesis.

Why should you get Infrared heat sessions?

-Boosted immune system and increase in white blood cells

-Reduced pain in muscles and joints

-Reduces inflammation and stiffness

-Improve sleep quality

-Reduces pain from arthritis, low back trouble, or daily aches

-Increased healing to muscles and joints

-May reduce blood pressure

-Reduces sinus inflammation due to hay fever

-Reduces Fibromyalgia symptoms

What are these Negative Ion things?

Oxygen atoms that have an extra electron.

These are created easily in nature by large bodies of water, thunderstorms, waterfalls, plants and more. Our bodies respond to these ions with feelings of happiness, relaxation, comfort, and a revitalized energy. This is why spending time in nature feels so good!

Inside buildings (or even entire cities) we don’t have these natural factors and so the atoms are mostly unpleasant positive ions, causing lack of energy, headaches, illness and bad moods. You’re body is starving for the “fresh air” oxygen.

Our new Infrared mat uses Amethyst, Jade, and Tourmaline stones to convert heat into Infrared Rays and fill the spa with Negative Oxygen Ions.

If you’re interested in the traditional energy healing benefits of the gemstones and crystals, here’s just a little bit.

Amethyst represents tranquility, healing, wisdom, protection, and pain relief.

Jade symbolizes wealth, health, serenity, nurturing love, and harmony.

Tourmaline represents protection, removing negativity, and grounding for safety and stability.

The stones also hold the heat and evenly press it into the muscles.

Who can use Far Infrared Rays?

Most of us can, and we'll vary the temperature to make it right for you. Or for the crazy Salt Lake weather!

It is NOT recommended for people on serious blood thinners, pregnant women, or people with implanted medical devices like a pacemaker. We will switch the mat off, but you will still feel the heat from the stones, and the negative ions will remain in the room!

If you have a major health condition, getting your doctor’s OK is best.

What does it feel like?

The heat feels different! It's slow to build up but you can feel it reaching deeper into the body.

Because of the deeper accumulation, sometimes you may get too hot. Please let Jen know as soon as you notice that we should turn the setting down a bit. Because my office is in East Millcreek, near the base of the mountains, this is perfect for cold Salt Lake winters but also feels great in the summer with air conditioning.
