The Calm of Heat, The Science of Healing
At Highlands in Bloom (HiB), we integrate far infrared sauna therapy for autoimmune and mental health as a daily wellness tool within our Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) program. This isn’t just relaxation it’s a science-backed intervention that supports circulation, inflammation reduction, and nervous-system regulation. Each client experiences this therapy within a serene, low-EMF, low-VOC Heavenly Heat 2-Person Infrared Sauna, carefully chosen for its purity, safety, and performance.
How Infrared Heat Works in the Body
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas use light to directly warm the body. This deeper penetration (2–3 cm into tissues) enhances oxygenation, cellular repair, and detoxification while keeping the air temperature comfortable.
At Highlands, this process supports:
- Reduction of inflammation: Helps calm overactive immune responses common in autoimmune conditions.
- Pain relief: Deep heat relaxes tense muscles and joints.
- Improved circulation: Increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues.
- Nervous-system balance: Activates the parasympathetic “rest and restore” state.
Recommended Frequency: 20–30 minutes, 3–4 times per week, at 120–130 °F during each client’s daily one-hour CAM block.

Integration in Our CAM Program
