LED Chromotherapy Explained

Each colour promotes different mental and physical benefits, meaning you can tailor your session to focus on what your body and mind need on the day.

Have you ever been unsure as to which LED colour you should use during your infrared sauna? Each colour promotes different mental and physical benefits, meaning you can tailor your session to focus on what your body and mind need on the day.

BLUE ~ MENTAL RELAXATION

Inner ~ A pacifying effect on the nervous system encouraging relaxation and support against sleeping problems. Blue light connects us to holistic thought and gives us the wisdom and clarity that enhances communication and speech. Its relaxing and soothing rays bring a sense of calm and peace of mind.

Outer ~ Reduces the bacteria that causes acne and whitens teeth.

GREEN ~ UNIVERSAL HEALING

Inner ~ Can be used to relax muscles, nerves and thoughts. Green cleanses and balances our energy to give a feeling of renewal, peace and harmony.

Outer ~ Balances redness and blotches.

RED ~ YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN

Inner ~ Enhances sensory nerves such as hearing, taste, and smell. It also activates the metabolism and promotes cellular growth, stimulating the will aspect of the circulatory system.

Outer ~ Decreases signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production.

ORANGE ~ NEW IDEAS

Inner ~ A freeing action upon the mind, relieving repression. Orange may help assimilate new ideas and is an emotional stimulant. Helps to remove inhibitions thus paving the way for independent and social behavior, such as bringing joy to your day and strengthening your appetite for life.

Outer ~ Revitalises dull skin and helps you glow from within.

VIOLET ~ CELL RENEWAL

Inner ~ Purifies our thoughts and feelings. Connects us to our spiritual self, bringing guidance, wisdom and inner strength. Enhances artistic talent and creativity.

Outer ~ Helps to increase cell regeneration which in turn cleanses the skin and reduces inflammation.

YELLOW ~ REDUCES REDNESS

Inner ~ Helps awaken mental inspiration arousing a higher mentality. Provides clarity of thought and increases awareness, whilst stimulating interest and curiosity. Yellow energy is related to the ability to perceive or understand.

Outer ~ May help the skin’s pores by repairing scarred tissue. These rays have an alkalizing effect and may help reduce redness.
