Need a body reset? In the winter months we are all affected by the lack of sun and excess dry air, which can impact our bodies mental and physical state. We breathe over 7,500 L of air every day that are full of contaminants from our busy lives. Each treatment offers a relaxing environment where the air is HEPA purified, humidified, negative air ions (NAIs) added to benefit health & aromatherapy blends infused throughout the room for the ultimate reset. Some studies have shown that NAIs significantly reduce the level of serotonin in blood and are effective for treatment of chronic depression, anxiety and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Serotonin also plays important roles in basic patterns of life including sleep and mood regulation.
