INFRARED RAYS
While traveling through Tennessee and California , Michelle Larkin , owner of Unit 8 Infrared Sauna Studio , stumbled upon an infrared sauna and found it improved her “ overall health and well-being .” Larkin ’ s extensive background in healthcare guided her to “ start [ her own ] business to help others in our community ,” and thus , Unit 8 was created ! Customers can enjoy a 45-minute session in a private sauna suite while enjoying Pandora or Netflix . Those of us looking to relax even more can visit the licensed massage therapist , Stacey Allgood-Smith , of Allgood Therapeutic Massage in the same building .
Larkin explained that Infrared heat therapy uses infrared light to heat the body directly rather than just the air , which yields a deeper , more detoxifying sweat from a deeper skin cellular level where many toxins are stored . She ’ s not the only one to notice the theraputic nature of these saunas either ! Saunas like the ones she uses at Unit 8 have been featured on various television programs , including Oprah with Dr . Oz , The Doctors , and the Ellen Show . Infrared saunas are also supported by the American Heart Association , the American Cancer Society and the National Autism Association .
