Infrared light therapy offers many science-backed health benefits including:

• Pain Relief: Can help reduce pain by penetrating deep into tissues and reducing inflammation.

• Enhanced Muscle Recovery: Athletes and individuals with muscle injuries often use infrared therapy to promote faster healing and recovery.

• Improved Circulation: Stimulates blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, promoting healing.

• Skin Health: Improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity by stimulating collagen production.

• Reduced Inflammation: The deep penetration of infrared light can help reduce inflammation in muscles and joints.

• Detoxification: Promotes sweating, which may help eliminate toxins from the body.

• Enhanced Immune Function: Some studies suggest that infrared light therapy can boost immune function by increasing the production of white blood cells.

• Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Promotes relaxation and reduces stress levels, contributing to overall well-being.

• Weight Loss: Some proponents claim that infrared therapy can aid in weight loss by increasing metabolic rate and promoting fat burning.

• Wound Healing: Can accelerate wound healing by promoting cell regeneration and increasing blood flow to the affected area.

• Menopause Relief: Alleviates hot flashes, enhances sleep, revitalizes your skin, and uplifts your mind with infrared light therapy.

These benefits can vary depending on individual conditions and responses to therapy. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting infrared light therapy, especially if you have underlying health concerns.

While infrared light therapy can be beneficial for many people, there are certain individuals who should avoid it or consult a healthcare professional before using it:

• Pregnant Women: The effects of infrared light therapy on pregnant women are not well-studied, so it is generally recommended to avoid it.

• Individuals with Heart Conditions: Those with serious cardiovascular issues should consult a doctor, as increased circulation and heat exposure might pose risks.

• People with Skin Conditions: Individuals with photosensitive skin conditions or those taking medications that cause photosensitivity should avoid infrared therapy.

• Those with Recent Injuries or Surgeries: Infrared light therapy may not be suitable for individuals with recent injuries or surgical wounds unless advised by a healthcare professional.

• Individuals with a History of Hyperthermia: Those who have experienced heat-related illnesses should avoid infrared therapy due to the heat exposure involved.

• Cancer Patients: Those undergoing treatment for cancer or with a history of cancer should consult their oncologist before using infrared therapy as the effects on cancer cells are not well understood.

• People with Implants or Pacemakers: Individuals with medical implants or pacemakers should check with their healthcare provider to ensure the therapy does not interfere with their devices.

YOUR COCOON EXPERIENCE

Warmth. Stillness. Time for yourself.

Settle into TULASOL’s Cocoon sauna pod, featuring red light, chromotherapy, and a vibration bed. Here’s how to prepare and make the most of your session.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

• Arrive 5 minutes early to check in and get comfortable.

• First time using the Cocoon? We’ll explain the features, help you get settled, and show you how to exit.

• Arrive hydrated. Drink water throughout the day rather than drinking a large amount immediately before your appointment.

• Use the restroom before your session so you can relax comfortably.

• Remove shoes, jewelry, and wearable electronics. Leave your phone outside the pod.

• Let us know your preferences. We’ll explain the heat, red light, chromotherapy, and vibration settings so we can tailor your experience.

WHAT TO WEAR

• Your birthday suit is welcome—wear whatever feels most comfortable for you. You’ll undress and get settled in privacy, with a towel positioned beneath your body.

• Skip lotions, body oils, and heavy fragrances beforehand.

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing to change into afterward.

DURING YOUR SESSION

• Start comfortably. More heat or stronger vibration does not necessarily mean a better experience.

• Let your body settle. Close your eyes, breathe naturally, and allow yourself to rest.

• Sweating varies. You don’t need to sweat heavily to enjoy your session.

• Tell us if anything feels uncomfortable. Heat, lighting, and vibration should feel manageable throughout your visit.

• End your session if you feel dizzy, nauseated, faint, unusually weak, or overheated. Let staff know immediately.

• You can exit at any time. We’ll show you how before your session begins.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

• Sit up and stand slowly. Take a moment before stepping away from the pod.

• Refresh with the cold, wet towel we provide after your session.

• Cool down comfortably before getting dressed and heading out.

• Drink water afterward to replace fluids lost through sweating.

• Place used towels in the designated hamper.

• Let us know how the settings felt so we can adjust your next visit.

HOW TO PREPARE

• Limit caffeine before your appointment, especially coffee, energy drinks, and pre-workout supplements. Arrive feeling settled rather than overstimulated.

• Avoid alcohol before your session.

• Have a light meal or snack beforehand. Avoid arriving overly hungry or immediately after a heavy meal.

• Skip your session if you’re dehydrated, have a fever, or feel unwell.

• Avoid using the pod on sunburned or irritated skin.

• The Cocoon sauna pod is not recommended during pregnancy.

• Check with your healthcare professional before booking if you have a condition that affects your tolerance for heat or vibration, or take medication that affects sweating, hydration, blood pressure, or sensitivity to light.

• Tell us about any light sensitivity or concerns about vibration before we begin.

WHAT TO BRING

• A water bottle.

• Comfortable clothing for afterward.

• Clean underwear or swimwear, if you prefer coverage.

WE’LL HELP YOU GET SETTLED

You don’t need to tolerate intense heat or stay longer than feels comfortable. We’ll help you find settings that suit you.

Settle in. Get comfortable. Take time for yourself.
