Breathesuite Recommendations

​Before Your Session

• Hydrate well before entering. Drink at least one to two glasses of water in the hour before your session

• Avoid eating a heavy meal within one to two hours of your session

• Avoid alcohol before and after your session

• Remove all jewelry and metal accessories before entering

• If you are a first-time user, let our team know so we can walk you through the suite before your session begins

What to Wear

• Light, loose clothing like athletic shorts and t-shirt, or a swimsuit is recommended

• No shoes are to be worn inside the sauna, please be prepared to go barefoot of wear socksNo 

• Fewer layers allow more skin exposure to the infrared heat and red light therapy, increasing therapeutic benefit

• Bring a clean, dry towel to sit on and one to wipe down surfaces after your session (or grab one of our towels)

• Do not apply lotions, oils, or topical products before your session

During Your Session

• Breathe normally throughout your session. The salt aerosol is working even when you cannot see or smell it

• It is normal to sweat significantly, especially after the first 10 to 15 minutes

• Do not look directly into the red light therapy panels at any time. While you do not need or require goggles, it is bright. Temp-use goggles are available and should be placed in the dirty laundry bins (with towels) after use. 

• If you feel lightheaded, overheated, or unwell at any point, exit the suite immediately and sit in a cool area

• You do not need to remain seated. Adjust your position as needed for comfort

• For red light therapy benefit, position yourself facing the tower at a comfortable distance, approximately 6 to 12 inches for targeted use, or remain seated and allow the light to reach you passively

​​

Session Length and Frequency

• First-time users: 20 minutes at a lower temperature setting

• Regular sessions: 30 to 45 minutes at full protocol

• Optimal frequency: 3 to 5 sessions per week for consistent clinical benefit

• Allow your body to adjust over the first few sessions before extending time or increasing temperature

​

Using the Modalities Together: 

For a full combined session using all three therapeutic modalities:

1. Enter the suite, close the door, and turn select your protocol. Activate red light and/or chromotherapy lighting if desired

2. The halogenerator is always working - automatically. 

3. hen your timer ends, turn off the Red Light Therapy tower and the chromotherapy lights, return the sauna to protocol 5 and exit the suite

​​​

After Your Session

• Rehydrate immediately after your session. Water or an electrolyte drink is recommended

• Allow your body to continue sweating naturally for a few minutes before showering

• Avoid alcohol for at least a few hours after your session

• Wipe down all surfaces you contacted using the dry towel provided for wooden surfaces and wet wipes for non-wooden surfaces

• Note how you feel after your session. Some clients feel energized, others feel deeply relaxed. Both are normal responses

​​

For Best Results Over Time

• Consistency matters more than session length. Regular shorter sessions outperform occasional long ones

• Combine Breathesuite sessions with adequate sleep, hydration, and movement for whole-person benefit

• If you are using the Breathesuite for a specific wellness goal such as pain management, skin health, or respiratory support, discuss a session protocol with our team

• Track how you feel over time. Many clients notice cumulative benefits after two to three weeks of consistent use

​​

A Note on Expectations

• Individual results vary. Some benefits are felt immediately; others build with consistent use over time

• The Breathesuite is a wellness support tool, not a substitute for medical care

• If you have a diagnosed condition you are hoping the Breathesuite will support, we encourage you to share that with your healthcare provider for clinical guidance
