Sunlighten Saunas and Lyme Disease
May 8th
If it’s May, it must be Lyme Disease Awareness Month! Many Sunlighten sauna owners are very aware – first-hand – of the devastating effects that Lyme disease has on so many. We work very regularly with “Lymies”, helping them add infrared sauna therapy to their treatment regimen.
Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne illness in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Each year, more than 30,000 Americans contract Lyme disease, an illness that can have lifelong debilitating effects such as arthritis, fatigue and even neurological deficits. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi More >

Study Suggests Elevated Body Temperature Aids Antibiotics Against Lyme Disease
Oct 20th
Fighting Lyme disease? Researchers believe that increasing body temperature may be beneficial, helping prescribed antibiotics do their work in fighting Borrelia burgdorferi – the bacterium which causes Lyme disease.
In 1996, Austrian scientists published a study* which suggests that heat may help antibiotics in their tough battle against Bb bacterium. They cultured Borrelia burgdorferi at different temperatures, alone and in combination with antibiotics. Their data demonstrated that growth of two strains was impaired at 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and inhibited at 39 degrees (102.2 degrees F) and 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees F). Another strain grew well up to More >
Diana’s Lyme Disease and Infrared Sauna
Jul 9th
Here at Sunlighten, we are so fortunate to be able to help so many. The feedback we receive from our customers is amazing and energizing! In fact, we often share “thank yous” with associates over large screens scattered around the office.
Recently, Sunlighten associate Aaron Hetherington (that’s him over there in the photo) received a really great email from customer Diana Carr. Diana suffers from Lyme disease and uses a Sunlighten infrared sauna to help alleviate her painful symptoms.

Do Infrared Saunas Help Lyme Disease Sufferers?
Jun 29th
Sunlighten is a pretty happy-go-lucky place to work. We have a lot of fun here. One thing we take very seriously, though, is helping our customers with pain relief through infrared sauna therapy. And a growing number of those customers seeking pain relief suffer from the effects of Lyme Disease.
Lyme is caused by a spirochete, or corkscrew-shaped bacterium, often transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. (The spirochete associated with Lyme is Borrelia burgdorferi, or Bb.) The spirochetes then make their way into muscles, tendons, and other organs.
Sufferers of Lyme Disease experience a wide range of problems More >
