Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by releasing mood-boosting hormones like endorphins and dopamine, increasing serotonin, and decreasing stress hormones such as cortisol. The warmth and light exposure from infrared saunas can improve mood, energy, and relaxation, though they are not a replacement for professional medical treatment. Clearlight also offers red light therapy, which can further support mood regulation and help reset circadian rhythms, beneficial for SAD sufferers.
How Clearlight Saunas Can Help with SAD
Hormone Regulation:
Infrared saunas stimulate the release of endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin, which are natural mood elevators, and can increase serotonin levels, helping to combat feelings of low mood.
Stress Reduction:
The heat from the sauna can decrease cortisol, the body's stress hormone, leading to a more relaxed state and reducing the fatigue often associated with SAD.
Increased Energy:
By improving circulation and releasing endorphins, infrared saunas can help alleviate the fatigue and low energy levels that are common symptoms of SAD.
Light Therapy:
Some Clearlight models include red light therapy, which can help reset the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) and regulate mood, similar to traditional phototherapy for SAD.
Important Considerations
Consult a Professional:
Infrared saunas are a supplementary wellness tool and should not replace professional medical treatment for SAD.
Not a Direct Sunlight Replacement:
While infrared light has positive effects, it doesn't replicate natural sunlight. The primary mechanism for SAD treatment is often bright light therapy, which infrared saunas may not fully provide.
Contraindications:
Avoid sauna use if you have conditions that affect your ability to sweat, such as certain neurological disorders or bleeding predispositions, as these can be exacerbated by heat.
EMF Levels:
Clearlight infrared saunas are known for having low electromagnetic field (EMF) levels, which is an important factor for many users seeking a safe infrared sauna experience.
