Detox, boost your immune system, increase your metabolism
Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna & RED LIGHT THERAPY Sessions
Whether you choose to sweat it out by yourself or bring a friend or two, Rooted Method offers four infrared sauna suites in three different sizes featuring the Clearlight Full Spectrum Saunas as well as a Red Light Therapy tower.
The same infrared heat produced by the sun which is required by all living things for optimum health is the source for our saunas. The radiant heat surrounds you and penetrates deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues increasing oxygen flow and circulation. Infrared is a different sauna experience, because at a lower temperature than a traditional dry sauna, people find the experience to be more tolerable allowing for longer sessions, deeper sweats, and a more intense detox. As a result, there are an array of health benefits including muscle pain relief, increased metabolism & weight loss, immune system boost, detoxifying, stress & fatigue reduction, better skin, and easing joint pain and stiffness.

LET'S TALK HEAT
For centuries ancient “sweat lodges” have been used by many cultures to bring relief from disease and enhance beauty. Today medical professionals recommend Infrared sauna use to treat a variety of conditions. Infrared therapy is known to assist with detoxification, relaxation, burning calories, pain relief, boosting the immune system, skin purification, cell health, heart health, better sleep, and improved circulation.
IMMUNITY BOOST
The penetrating infrared wavelengths from our heaters will raise your core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. Fever is the body's natural mechanism to strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as is seen in the case of infection. This increase in temperature can fight against bacterial and viral cells, aiding in your boosted immunity and your body's defenses to sickness.
INCREASED METABOLISM & WEIGHT LOSS
The journal of the American Medical Association has mentioned that regular use of a sauna imparts a similar boost on the cardiovascular system as running. As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories.
It is also more effective at reducing cellulite because the infrared warms three times as deep as conventional saunas. There is a direct link between the slowing of metabolic rates and the storage of toxins in fat. By significantly expediting the detoxification process via your infrared session, you can enhance your natural metabolic processes.

OUR SAUNAS
The sweat method found in our space is Clearlight. After much research and comparison shopping, the choice was clear (pun intended) and here is why:
1. Low-EMF and Low - ELF Technology
2. Leader and innovator in the infrared sauna industry for over 20 years
3. True Wave heaters - Far Infrared and Full Spectrum | True Wave is the ONLY combination Carbon/Ceramic far infrared heater producing healing infrared heat that is unmatched. The full spectrum heaters are high output infrared heaters producing near, mid, and far infrared. These produce 1,000 watts of full spectrum infrared; 25x the power of the closest competitor.
4. You may choose to use the Clearlight Red Light Therapy that is in each of our saunas. Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation and low level light therapy, uses red low-level wavelengths of light for a variety of health and wellness benefits. These red light wavelengths of light stimulate the mitochondria in our cells. The mitochondria turn the light into usable energy for our bodies through the process of cellular respiration. The light from Near Infrared LEDs has been shown to bring energy to cells, reduce pain, increase collagen and elastin production in skin cells, speed up the wound healing process, reduce inflammation and provide numerous anti-aging benefits.
Safety Precautions
Please fill out all applicable forms prior to your appointment, notating any health restrictions. Our infrared saunas are not suitable for pregnant women, or those with high blood pressure. Please consult with your doctor prior to booking your session.
Bring comfortable clothing to change into after your sauna session. Also, please come hydrated and with water. Electrolytes are recommended for your session.
Consider your heat tolerance, and adjust accordingly when entering into the sauna.
If you're a beginner, start with 15-20 minutes if that’s what you’re comfortable with and work your way up to 40 minutes. We recommend booking a 20 minute session for your first sauna.
If you feel dizzy, are extremely uncomfortable, start excessively shivering, or otherwise feel like something is unwell during your sauna session, get out slowly but immediately.
If you are prone to falling or are just nervous, have someone accompany you.
Dizziness: If you feel dizzy, please exit the sauna and drink water. This is another great reason to pick a comfortable temperature and spend only a few minutes each session.
When using the Red Light Therapy, it is advised that you test for any photosensitivity. To do this, you would simply turn on the Light Tower and expose a small portion of your skin, such as a forearm or back of a hand, for approximately 3 minutes while holding it 4 to 6 inches away from the unit. If there is any redness, discomfort or other adverse reaction, cease exposure. Clients should not look directly into the lights. Protective eyewear is not required, however goggles are provided. Please leave the eyewear on the bench after your sauna bench.
