A great writeup on infrared therapy was featured on page 139 of the February edition of Psychologies magazine.

What was said? "As I entered the therapy room, similar to a sauna but fitted with walls of coloured lights, aromatherapy oils and relaxing music, I was an enveloped in an unusual wave of heat which felt strangely soothing." The tester continued to say "After 40 minutes, the tension in my body had melted away and my muscles felt fluid. The treatment ended with a refreshing steam shower."

Infra red therapy is available at Aqua Viva Health for just £12 for a 45 minute session to include shower time. Or why not buy 12 sessions for the price of 10? Just £120.

Light and colour can be used therapeutically to balance the body and mind and to aid in healing. Our far infra-red therapy cabin give you the choice of different colours, or a natural daylight simulator to protect against seasonal affective disorder (SAD). But what do the various colours mean?

Red – the colour of energy, vitality and power. It will warm cold areas to reduce pain. Red is a powerful healing agent for healing diseases of the blood and circulation. It will help with depression. Not to be used with high blood pressure or anxiety. Remaining under red rays for too long may lead to agitation or aggression.

Orange – the colour of energy. It is used to increase immunity and help in all digestive, chest and kidney ailments and diseases. Orange will have a gentle warming effect if used lightly, but like red should not be used for too long. It is not good for people who are nervous or easily agitated.

Green – the colour of harmony and balance. It is good for tired nerves and helps with the heart area. Green can balance emotions and creates an atmosphere of serenity and calm. It is a good for general healing as it stimulates growth – good for healing broken bones for example. Too much green may create negative energy.

Blue – the colour of truth, serenity and harmony. Blue helps soothe the mind and is good for cooling, calming, reconstructing and protecting. It helps with feverish conditions, nervous irritations and good for burns. Too much blue can lead to depression, sorrow and cold.

Purple – helps connect the body and spirit. It is good for mental and nervous problems and can assist in specific conditions such as rheumatism and epilepsy. Purple can help reduce pain, is good for deep tissue work and helps heal bones.
