Its health benefits are recognized, in fact sauna sessions help eliminate toxins, reduce stress and improve blood circulation, immune activation, as well as the beauty of the skin.
Thermal baths are also recommended for the treatment of certain dermatological diseases, such as eczema or psoriasis.
Our Choice
At Holistic Point you will find a high quality infrared sauna made with Hemlock wood. This kind of wood, perfectly adapted to saunas, offers great resistance and perfect insulation.
We chose carbon emitters, slightly less powerful than ceramic emitters, because they cover a larger area and therefore guarantee better heat diffusion.
The generated FIR- Far Infrared Rays – Type C – are included between 3/4 to 6/7 µm; this optimal wavelength range allows an optimal ratio between transmission and absorption ensuring efficacy, safety and comfort.
Our cabin model also allows you to listen to your favourite music connecting via bluetooth and to practice CHROMOTHERAPY sessions.
Prescribed in several traditional medicines, chromotherapy is based on the assumption that the color spectrum plays a role in our condition: in doing so, a blue color in your sauna will improve your relaxation, while a red color will increase blood circulation.
