In using the infrared sauna or red-light therapy I understand that:

​

• If pregnant or think you may be pregnant, check with a physician before using the infrared sauna. Excessive body temperatures have a potential for causing fetal damage during the early days of pregnancy.

• If nursing, please consult your physician prior to using the infrared sauna. Avoid nursing for 24 hours after using the infrared sauna.

• Hemophiliacs and persons that are inclined to hemorrhage should avoid infrared sauna usage or any type of heating that would generate vasodilation.

• Consult a physician prior to use, if you suffer from hypertension, hyperthyroidism, adrenal suppression, systemic lupus erythematous, glaucoma, eye sensitivity, light sensitivity, multiple sclerosis or a serious heart condition. Contraindications for the use of light therapy are diseases that involve the retina of the eye (such as diabetes) and the use of photosensitizing medications (i.e. lithium, melatonin, phenothiazine antipsychotics and certain antibiotics).

• The supplied eyewear is recommended when using red light.

• Consult a physician prior to use if using any medications.

• If you have suffered a recent joint injury that is considered acute, it should not be heated for at least 48 hours or until swelling diminishes.

• The use of drugs or alcohol prior to or during the sauna may lead to dizziness or unconsciousness.

• It is advised not to have a full stomach to avoid any ill feelings. A good rule of thumb is to not eat for about an hour prior to your sauna session.

• Detoxification can be sudden for some people. These effects may include dizziness, nausea and fatigue. Most people do not experience these symptoms.

• Extra hydration is important before and after taking a sauna. Along with pure, fresh water, an electrolyte drink, mineral supplement or fresh green juice is recommended. Open containers are not allowed in the sauna.

   

• SWEATIQUETTE:

  • NO USE OF OILS OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED IN THE SAUNAS

  • In order to maintain your comfort and sanitation of our saunas, towels are provided for every session. One large towel must be always used underneath you.

  • Place towels in the laundry bins as you exit your suite.

  • Remove all footwear prior to entering the sauna.

  • Sauna doors are made of glass – please handle with care.

  • Do not pour water on the heaters. Infrared saunas are intended to provide dry heat therapy.

  • We highly recommend showering after your sauna session, this will help remove the toxins from the surface of your skin. You will continue to sweat for about 40 minutes to an hour after your session so you may choose to wait until then.

  • If you choose to sauna with a friend or loved one, please keep conversations and/or music to a considerate volume.

  • Sessions are 30-45 minutes. If at any point in your session you feel uncomfortable with the heat, you have complete control and should open the door to cool off. This experience should be calming, rejuvenating and wonderful! 

  • Refrain from spraying any perfume while in your suite.

• Please take all personal belonging with you. The LightHouse in Theresa is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

• If you have any challenges keeping your scheduled appointment time, be sure to give us at least 24-hours notice. Appointments changed or cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled time are charged in full.

• Relax, breathe deep, and enjoy the radiant warmth of your infrared experience!
