“A clean environment is a calm environment” is our guiding mantra, and we take tremendous pride in providing a pristine space where clients can relax, with assurance, in the highest quality infrared sauna and float equipment available. It’s part of how we love on them - with 3-page long checklists and a crystal clean focused regimen that qualifies us as providing the best in the business.

We are grateful to have been deemed essential by the Nashville Health Department due to our longstanding sanitation protocol, and our non-touch + isolated services that uniquely serve our clients in health.
The purity of our space also aligns with the purification of our services. Infrared saunas and floating, both inherently hygienic, are two tremendous resources to boost our immune system and ward off illness and disease. It is no coincidence that sauna and salt soaks have been wellness practices in countries and cultures around the world for thousands of years.
Here’s more about our dedicated sanitation program and the proactive health measures our infrared saunas and float services provide.
INFRARED SAUNAS: OUR SANITATION PROGRAM
Our full-spectrum infrared saunas by Sunlighten are the leader in infrared technology across technology, efficacy and sustainability.
We employ a thorough sanitation after each sauna session, including all sauna accessories. Our towels are washed in sanitizing heat temperatures, and they undergo a routine replacement program to ensure we provide fresh amenities for our clients at all times.
Infrared light is also inherently hygienic, killing all surface bacteria. Every element of our Sunlighten Cabins is designed with quality and safety in mind. They are constructed with 100% premium Eucalyptus wood throughout the entire cabin, and all facets in its design employ only natural and non-toxic assemblage. Beyond its sustainable design, each Cabin has been third-party tested to ensure that there are virtually no detectable EMF levels.
INFRARED SAUNAS + YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
It is far better to strengthen the immune system so that you reduce the chance of getting sick in the first place. After all, viruses can only make you sick if your immune system allows it.
Hippocrates, the “father of medicine,” is renowned for stating “give me the power to create fever, and I shall cure any disease.” Infrared Saunas, in many ways, mimic fever, our body’s natural response to ward off illness and disease, by raising your core body temperature by up to 3 degrees. Many aspects of immune function are heat-sensitive and are designed to be mobilized in response to a fever.
Specifically, fever-range body temperature causes the body to favor anti-viral and anti-bacterial immune response (Th1) over the antiparasitic or allergic (Th2) immune response. In addition, fever-range temperature helps the immune system better remember germs that you are exposed to, so that the next time you encounter the pathogens, your body can fight them off better.
Our FAR-Infrared wavelengths target toxins packed tightly within our fat and tissue, breaking them up so they can be released through sweat. That is why infrared saunas are effective at releasing 20% toxins versus 3% in a regular sauna.
A build-up of toxins can lead to a host of common illnesses. Ridding the body of these toxic substances may help relieve symptoms, prevent future illness, and increase overall health and vitality.
FLOATS - OUR SANITATION PROGRAM:
Our Floats, manufactured by industry leader Superior Float Tanks, come equipped with the most state-of-the-art filtration systems in the industry, providing the highest quality water available. Float water is already CDC approved as anti-viral, with food-grade hydrogen peroxide, UV lights, ozone, and 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt. Here’s more:
Our Evolution Filtration System is able to filter particles from the water to 1 micron in size (smaller than a skin cell) and is FDA compliant for drinking water (Class 1 Filtration). Water is completely recirculated and filtered through two sanitation systems at least three times between each float, and the most up-to-date technology in UV sterilization, CDC-approved, food-grade hydrogen peroxide, and ozone injection systems are implemented throughout the day to maintain purity. Beyond our unparalleled filtration and cleaning system, our Floats are also designed seamless, so nothing can be stored within cracks and seams.
We test the waters three times a day for salinity, pH balance and H2O2 to ensure the highest levels of sanitation according to Health Codes, and we maintain a thorough cleaning program throughout our entire Studio, including scrubbing and sanitizing the floats and replenishing with water daily. In addition to our daily maintenance, our floats are professionally serviced by an engineer on a bi-weekly basis, when filters are changed and all mechanics are tested to ensure optimal function.
Our 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt are inherently hygienic, naturally antiviral and antimicrobial. It’s no surprise that sulfur compounds are, in fact, used in antibiotics and have been an age-old wellness resource for thousands of years.
FLOATING + YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Epsom Salt helps boost the immune system. Soaking in Epsom Salt helps to stimulate the lymph system, circulate oxygen throughout the body, reduce stress, and keep toxins at bay.
Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, is an ancient-old, holistic remedy for a wide variety of health concerns. Magnesium is a mineral that is crucial to the human body’s functioning. Some of the key roles of magnesium include keeping blood pressure normal, heart rhythm steady, and bones strong. The other main ingredient, sulfate, is an essential mineral key to many biological processes. It helps flush toxins, cleanse the liver, and assist in the formation of proteins in joints and brain tissue.
Epsom salt is also a great anti-inflammatory and has been shown to decrease inflammation while also increasing the elasticity of your arteries, thereby improving circulation, lowering blood pressure and enhancing overall cardiovascular health. Epsom salt also helps spur a process called vasodilation, which increases white blood cell production and helps the body fight illnesses faster.
Nashville’s very own Dr. Axe has summarized the many health benefits of Epsom salt, which you can read about here.
