It is a well-known fact that color plays a major role in establishing a particular mood or state of mind. That's why Rocky Mountain Saunas infrared saunas are equipped with our exclusive Chromo-Max™ state-of-the-art LED chromotherapy light sources.
Colors are our brain's interpretation of certain wavelengths of electromagnetic energy observed through our eyes. The actual color which we see is the part of the visible spectrum that is reflected back by a certain object.
When all the colors of the rainbow are combined, the result is white light.
True healing comes about when the cause of the condition or illness is addressed and transformed. Our body is an outward expression of that which is taking place within the mind, the soul (subconscious) and the spirit (super-conscious) of the individual. In this sense, colored light acts as both an electromagnetic balancing force and as a focal point for the desired effect.
At Rocky Mountain Saunas, our exclusive Chromo-Max™ integrated chromotherapy system utilizes the main colors of light. Users may select the desired color of light to customize their sauna session and achieve their wellness and relaxation goals.
