Infrared Sauna Use in UCSF Clinical Trial Shows Promise in Combating Depression
May 20, 2024

11 of 12 Participants No Longer Met Criteria for Depression after Combined Heat Treatment Using The Clearlight ® Curve™ Far Infrared Sauna Domes and an 8-Session Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol

BERKELEY, CA.—MAY 20, 2024—In conjunction with May as Mental Health Awareness Month, preliminary results from a University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) clinical trial combining heat exposure with psychotherapy sessions showed reductions in depression. The study, led by Ashley E. Mason, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Health and the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, tested an integrated mind-body treatment combining whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), a type of whole-body heat treatment, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The study, which was the first trial to integrate sauna sessions with psychotherapy sessions for the treatment of MDD, was published on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, in The International Journal of Hyperthermia and is accessible here. The study used the The Curve™ Far Infrared Sauna Dome, manufactured by Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared sauna and pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions.

In brief, the study enrolled 16 adults with MDD who received eight weekly sessions of cognitive behavior therapy and weekly or biweekly sauna sessions, conducted in a Curve Dome. Dr. Mason began the clinical trial after being inspired by prior work showing that infrared heat treatment caused rapid reductions in depression. Preliminary results from prior studies and Dr. Mason’s most recent study suggests that infrared heat treatment may help significantly reduce depression symptoms. While Dr. Mason’s future clinical trial testing efficacy will take several years, early results from her feasibility studies are showing that whole-body hyperthermia may reduce depression symptoms. In this most recent trial, Mason also found that sauna sessions acutely improved mood, and found that these improvements predicted overall response to the treatment.

“This is exciting work, and it is early days,” said Dr. Mason. “That 11 of 12 participants who completed treatment no longer met criteria for major depressive disorder sends a positive message – we need to continue researching this treatment package.”

“This groundbreaking study on depression from UCSF aligns with what we have been hearing from our customers for the past 25 years. People have been telling us how using our infrared saunas has changed their lives by reducing stress and lifting their spirits. Thanks to Dr. Ashley Mason and all the people at UCSF who have worked tirelessly to bring these facts to light so that people can find new ways to heal,” said Clearlight® Founder and CEO, Dr. Raleigh Duncan. Dr. Duncan is widely recognized for his expertise in infrared therapy as one of the most significant contributors to technologies for healing the human body and as a leader in advancing the industry over the past three decades.

Power Up Cells for Optimal Performance

Red Light Therapy causes a phenomenon called photobiomodulation using near infrared and specific wavelengths of red light that actually trigger the production of energy in the form of ATP in the mitochondria of our living cells. More simply put, photobiomodulation is a way of increasing the life span of the cells in our body, which by its very definition causes longevity and anti-aging to occur.

“Red Light Therapy taps into the power of red and near-infrared light to boost energy production in cells, providing numerous benefits for health and well-being. Red light therapy is the easiest and most advanced way to stop the body from growing old. This is a simple and direct pathway to cell regeneration and life extension,” added Dr. Duncan.

Infrared Sauna Leader and Global Wellness Company, Clearlight®, Formally Announces HALO ONE® to Combat Poor Air Quality, Increased Seasonal Allergies, and Promote Health & Wellness This Summer – and Year Round
July 12, 2023

Portable and Award-Winning Halotherapy Generator Uses Patent-Pending Technology to Deliver Key Benefits of On-Demand Salt Therapy to Consumers at Home, in the Office, as Part of their Clearlight Sauna, or While Traveling

BERKELEY, CA—As the summer temperatures rise, so does the impact of poor air quality, seasonal allergies and overall wellness concerns. Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared sauna and pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions, today formally introduced its game-changing HALO ONE® Halotherapy Generator to help combat these challenges and promote a healthier lifestyle.

Halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, is the release of salt particles into the air and the intentional inhaling of this air to promote better lung health. HALO ONE’s on-demand system utilizes advanced, patent-pending technology to add salt particles to the air to create a salt cave type of atmosphere, making it convenient for users to experience the key benefits of halotherapy anytime, anywhere.

“We encourage people to use their HALO ONE regularly and not just when they are ill with respiratory challenges or other health concerns. The HALO ONE was designed to help keep the lungs clear, boost the immune system, and give the skin a healthier glow. Salt is naturally hydrophilic, antibacterial, and antifungal. When inhaled through the lungs, it helps the body combat the negative effects caused by pollution, wildfires, seasonal allergies, and general poor air quality. Using the HALO ONE on an ongoing basis helps to maintain overall health,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and CEO of Clearlight. “Everyone deserves access to healthy air and an opportunity to enhance and restore their health, wellness, and vitality. Here at Clearlight, we are committed to making this a reality for everyone.”

Infrared Sauna and Halotherapy to Reduce Pollution Effects

Experience Year-Round Wellness

HALO ONE is the only halotherapy device on the market that offers a vapor salt therapy system with the full spectrum of salt particle sizes, incorporating a patent-pending vibrating mesh technology. This innovative technology produces healing salt particles, small enough to reach more area in the individual’s lungs, than any other Halotherapy device.

The technology contained within the compact and portable device creates a microclimate of a high concentration of salt particles, simulating the atmosphere of a salt cave. Regular and consistent use of this system can help individuals manage, not just during the summer, but can also promote lung health, relieve respiratory ailments, improve skin conditions, and achieve a more balanced living and working space year round.

Discover the Healing Power of Salt Therapy At Home

Wide Range of Benefits:

Promotes Respiratory Health: Breathing in the micro salt particles helps alleviate symptoms of asthma, allergies, COPD, chronic bronchitis, and sinusitis. Daily utilization offers relief from chest tightness, congestion, ear infections, and sinus infections.
Improves Skin Conditions: Consistent use of the HALO ONE system helps conquer acne, dryness, eczema, psoriasis, and aids in combating sleep apnea, snoring, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Combats Poor Air Quality: HALO ONE functions like nature’s air purifier, removing pollutants and toxins from the environment. By cleansing air and reducing allergens, dust, and contaminants, it facilitates easier breathing and fosters a healthier indoor atmosphere.
Contributes to Overall Health and Wellness: HALO ONE creates a sanctuary of clean air. Continuous use also helps improve sleep quality, boost the immune system, reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Transform Your Space into an On-Demand Salt Cave

HALO ONE is easy to set up, reasonably priced and created with user convenience in mind. It is portable and can be battery-operated, making it ideal for individuals to get the healing benefits of salt therapy, wherever and whenever they need.

The compact, sleek style has already earned Clearlight two international design awards and allows the system to integrate into any home, existing Clearlight sauna, office space, or on the go. The rechargeable battery also ensures on-demand salt therapy, with each charge capable of delivering three 20-minute sessions.

Must Have Addition to Your Summer Wellness Routine

Today through August 1, Clearlight is running its Summer Wellness Sale—making it easier than ever for people to immerse themselves in the healing power of salt therapy. Shop the Clearlight website.

Clearlight Infrared – Makers of Jacuzzi Saunas – Takes Disinfecting to the Next Level This Winter Season
Jan 4, 2022

Infrared Sauna Leader and Global Wellness Company Launches New UV Disinfecting Wand That Kills 99.9% of Germs/Bacteria & Viruses Within Seconds

Berkeley, California Jan 4, 2022 (Issuewire.com) – Just in time for the Winter, Clearlight Infrared®, a global wellness company and leader in the infrared sauna space, creating environmentally friendly and eco-conscious saunas using non-toxic materials, offers the new Jacuzzi® UV Disinfecting Wand. The Disinfecting Wand uses UVC/UVA mixed wave light technology that has proven to kill up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses off of surfaces.

“We realize the pandemic has caused people to look for ways to clean their home and the environment around them without having to use toxic or alcohol-based products. Clearlight Infrared Saunas™ created the wand to make disinfecting easier, quicker, and more environmentally friendly,” said Andy Kaps, President at Clearlight Infrared.

The Wand is doctor-designed with UV-C wavelengths of 270-280nm and with UV-A wavelengths of 380-405 nm, making it up to 10 times stronger than other UV disinfecting lights on the market.

This new eco-friendly and non-toxic tool is great for cleaning your gadgets (keyboard, phones), your home (kitchen counter, dining table), your car (steering wheel and seats), or even the public surfaces that you simply can’t avoid touching (airline tray tables, shopping carts). It’s the perfect on-the-go tool for parents, college students, senior citizens, and airline personnel.

The Jacuzzi® UV Disinfecting Wand can be purchased directly from Clearlight for a retail price of $299 by visiting https://infraredsauna.com/uvc-wand/ and calling 1-800-798-1779.

The UV Wand charges fully in an hour and comes with safety goggles, gloves, and a carrying case. The UV Wand has been developed and assembled in the US and is 100% ozone and chemical-free. Additionally, Clearlight Infrared® offers a one-year warranty on their Jacuzzi® UV Disinfecting Wand purchases.

Their sauna technology has been in high demand since the pandemic has forced people to stay sheltered and look for ways to assess and improve their daily wellness routine.

“Being able to provide the public with technology that can aid in increasing people’s overall wellness without exposing them to unnecessary toxins is what makes us a leader in the infrared sauna industry,” said Bruce Weinberg, Clearlight’s Director of Marketing.
