our color-coded guide to chromotherapy

Chromotherapy, or color therapy, is the science of the seven colors on the light spectrum. It works on various energy points to restore balance to the body and provide physical, emotional and/or mental healing. Color and light have been an integral part of healing therapy for thousands of years, tracing back to roots in Ayurveda, ancient Egyptian culture, and traditional Chinese healing. Light therapy has been used as a tool for alleviating headaches, allergies, insomnia, digestion, arthritis, nausea, and more. Our 'Chromatherapy Color Guide' below identifies each color's superpower. ​

If you've been in our sauna, you've likely noticed the built-in LED lighting above. These chromotherapy lights are controlled with a small remote - the 'auto' setting takes turns displaying each color for 10-15 seconds, while the 'manual' setting enables one specific color to stay on for the entire duration. 

So, what does each color address? Some associate color with our body’s chakras, meaning each chakra energizes and sustains certain organs. 

Here are the colors and associated benefits found in our Clearlight Infrared Sauna, in order of occurrence: 

• RED: Activates the circulatory and nervous systems
