Full Spectrum Sauna

Metal rods, pins, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior if there are any concerns.

Sessions here at Salt Works are 30-45 minutes depending on your goals. For overall wellness we recommend 2-3 times per month, but the sauna is safe to use every day.

We do not allow anyone to go nude in the sauna. Men typically wear workout shorts or swim trunks; women typically wear undergarments with spa provided wraps, workout shorts, tank tops or bathing suits. We do supply a lightweight cotton wrap that you may wear.

The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaption to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. It is for this reason it is our policy to allow only adults 18yrs and older to use the sauna.

• Traditional hot rock and steam saunas operate at extremely high temperatures more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit.  This kind of heat is uncomfortable for many people, and it is not necessarily effective as it simply heats the air around you.
• Infrared light, experienced as heat, is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum and is necessary for all living things. Far infrared can penetrate human tissue providing a deep, detoxifying sweat.  Far infrared saunas are the most common on the market.
• Full spectrum saunas (the type we have at Salt Works Spa) emit three infrared wavelengths independently – near, mid and far. At optimal frequencies, the different wavelengths can precisely target specific benefits. Near infrared light shouldn’t be confused with ordinary red light. Therapeutic near infrared light is invisible to the naked eye and has a consistent output without extreme heat or light.
