At VIVA Wellness, we believe in an integrative and holistic approach to wellness, understanding that all parts of the system are interconnected. We are thrilled to announce the addition of a second red light sauna in our beautiful new space, which includes red light and salt therapies! Both of these offer numerous potential benefits, including improved skin health, enhanced mood, better respiratory function, and pain relief. These therapies are perfect for those seeking to enhance their wellness without major commitments, providing a gentle and effective way to support your overall health.
Our new sauna accommodates up to four people, making it ideal for sharing the relaxing experience of red light therapy with friends. Incorporating these therapies into your wellness routine can be transformative, promoting physical and mental well-being. Let’s explore how red light and salt therapy work and how you can seamlessly integrate them into your health regimen.
Red Light Therapy & How It Works
Red light therapy is a cutting-edge technique designed to promote healthy cell growth and regeneration, potentially addressing various conditions, from skin issues to wound healing. By exposing your body to red low-level wavelengths of light, RLT penetrates about 5 millimeters below the skin’s surface, creating a powerful biochemical effect in your cells. This may strengthen the mitochondria, boost cell energy, and enhance overall cell performance, leading to faster healing and better cell health.
Benefits Of Red Light Therapy At VIVA Wellness
Below is a quick list of the benefits we frequently see with our red light therapy. While the benefits are always different from individual to individual, these are what we see the most:
- Increased energy production in cells: When red or near-infrared light is absorbed by the cells, it stimulates the mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouse, to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of cells.
- Pain reduction: It has been shown to have analgesic effects, potentially reducing pain and discomfort in various conditions.
- Enhanced collagen and elastin production: Red light therapy stimulates fibroblast cells in the skin to produce collagen, a protein essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Increased collagen production can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Accelerated wound healing: Red light therapy supports tissue repair and wound healing by boosting energy production in cells and improving circulation.
- Reduced inflammation: The therapy can also help to reduce inflammation by suppressing inflammatory cytokines and promoting anti-inflammatory processes in the body.
- Increased blood circulation: Red light therapy helps to increase blood circulation and the formation of new capillaries. This can improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues and enhance the removal of waste products.

Salt Therapy & How It Works
Salt therapy involves inhaling microsalt to promote various health benefits. This therapy aims to recreate the atmosphere of natural salt caves, offering a high concentration of micronized salt in the air. Salt is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with respiratory issues, skin conditions, and mental health.
Benefits Of Salt Therapy At VIVA Wellness
- Stimulation of the respiratory system: Salt therapy stimulates respiratory function, promoting clearer breathing and lung capacity.
- Reduced inflammation and infection: It helps to reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract and can lessen the frequency of respiratory infections.
- Clearing of blockages: Salt therapy aids in clearing blockages in the airways, facilitating easier breathing.
- Alleviation of excessive mucus and pathogen agents: It helps alleviate excessive mucus production and combats pathogens that can affect respiratory health.
- Improvement in digestive issues and skin conditions: Salt therapy can improve digestive issues by supporting gut health and may also alleviate certain skin conditions through its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Enhanced mood and mental health: It contributes to enhanced mood and mental well-being by promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.
Salt therapy works by potentially cleansing the respiratory system, eliminating pollutants and allergens, and restoring proper function. For the skin, it may help regulate pH levels and boost collagen and lymph cell production, promoting rejuvenation and strengthening the immune system!
