Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct healthcare profession that uses a combination of modalities to address the whole person with an emphasis on treating the underlying cause of symptoms and prevention of disease. We use a variety of healing methods to create health in your body including: nutrition, botanicals, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, counseling, laboratory testing, naturopathic adjustments and more. By addressing all aspects that determine a patients health, we are able to correct imbalances and utilize the body’s self-healing abilities, leading to a healthy life. Applying this strategy of healthcare individualized to each patient, Atlas Naturopathic Health Center can reach our goal of making Midcoast Maine a healthier community. You can learn more from the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians here.

An infrared sauna uses infrared light to directly heat your body rather than the surrounding air, making it more comfortable for those who find traditional saunas too intense. This gentle heat penetrates deeper into tissues, promoting relaxation, detoxification, and overall well-being.

Infrared saunas can support detoxification, pain relief, improved circulation, skin health, and stress reduction. Regular use may also aid in muscle recovery and enhance overall vitality.

Yes! Our infrared sauna features integrated red-light therapy, known for its skin rejuvenation, cellular repair, and anti-inflammatory benefits. This added feature enhances your session by promoting collagen production, improving circulation, and supporting overall wellness. It’s a perfect complement to the deep-penetrating heat of the infrared sauna.

Infrared saunas are generally safe for most individuals, but they may not be suitable for those who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are sensitive to heat. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or our team to determine if it’s right for you.

Most people wear light, comfortable clothing (i.e. shorts and a sports bra) or a bathing suit. Towels are also provided for your comfort and hygiene. Please avoid wearing any metal or plastic in the sauna, including eyeglasses and jewelry.

Sessions typically last between 30 minutes. You will also have a few minutes before and after to change.

We offer a range of programs to customize your session to your desired intensity and temperature. The sauna temperature ranges from 100 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to choose what feels most comfortable and effective for your needs.

Frequency depends on your health goals. Many clients find benefit in 1-2 sessions per week, but it’s best to start slowly and adjust as your body becomes accustomed to the treatment.

Hydration is key! Be sure to drink plenty of water before and after your session to replenish lost fluids. We also recommend a gentle cool-down period to help your body adjust.
