The Forgotten Medicine of Light: Chromotherapy at beem® Light Sauna

In a world increasingly obsessed with quick fixes and synthetic solutions, few wellness practices offer the elegant simplicity and time-honored credibility of chromotherapy. At beem® Light Sauna, chromotherapy is not a sideshow to our infrared light sauna offerings—it is an integral component of a deeply considered, multi-sensory healing experience.

Though sometimes dismissed as mystical or niche, chromotherapy is rooted in centuries-old traditions and now finds a stronghold in contemporary wellness backed by emerging science. When combined with the benefits of infrared light therapy, chromotherapy offers a gentle and precise way to support both body and mind.

The Science Behind Chromotherapy

Chromotherapy—also referred to as color therapy—utilizes wavelengths of visible light to encourage balance within the body’s energetic and physiological systems. Each color possesses a distinct vibrational frequency, which can activate targeted responses when absorbed through the skin and eyes.

More than mere mood influencers, colors influence circadian rhythms, hormone production, neural activity, and cellular regeneration. When administered in a controlled therapeutic setting, such as a light therapy sauna, colours become tools of transformation—sophisticated instruments of recalibration for mind, body, and spirit. Within the walls of beem®, chromotherapy is offered as science in service of serenity.

A Spectrum of Therapeutic Potential

Here’s how specific colors contribute to healing, renewal, and equilibrium when used within a chromotherapy-infused infrared sauna session:

Red

Invigorating and primal, red light enhances circulation and energizes tired systems. It’s particularly supportive of those experiencing chronic fatigue or struggling with low mood and stamina.

Green

The color of nature and regeneration, green invites emotional relaxation and has shown potential in decreasing anxiety and depressive states. In chromotherapy, green is often the anchor—the grounding force.

Pink

Subtler than red and infinitely gentler, pink light purifies. It’s associated with inner calm, providing a sense of peace and tranquility. Ideal for those seeking softness in a harsh world.

Turquiose

This hue evokes clarity and purification. Turquoise light therapy aids and supports skin rejuvenation and stress relief, especially when aligned with infrared sauna detoxification protocols aimed at eliminating environmental toxins and heavy metals.

Orange

Orange invigorates digestion, stimulates creativity, and uplifts the emotional landscape. It fosters joy and helps recalibrate those who feel disconnected or uninspired. Within a light therapy sauna, orange is the ember of inner fire.

Blue

Cooling and contemplative, blue light is nature’s sedative. It assists in reducing inflammation, calming overworked minds, and lowering blood pressure. For individuals prone to headaches or restlessness, blue is a balm.

Yellow

Bright and uplifting and associated with mental agility, yellow stimulates concentration and clarity and also assists in clearing the skin.

Violet

Violet soothes the nervous system and bolsters the immune response, it’s especially beneficial for those managing chronic conditions or systemic inflammation. It also supports infrared sauna immune support when combined with deep heat therapies.

Why Chromotherapy Belongs in Your Wellness Regimen

Wellness is not merely the absence of illness—it is the presence of clarity within the self. Chromotherapy provides a nuanced means of inviting that clarity back. While the physical warmth of an infrared sauna penetrates deeply to aid muscle recovery, stress reduction, and toxin removal, chromotherapy adds a layer of emotional and energetic care. This multi-dimensional approach is not an indulgence. It’s the new standard in sauna therapy—an experience meticulously designed to cater to the holistic needs of every person.

Whether you’re navigating the fog of chronic fatigue, seeking refuge from daily pressures, or striving to optimize cellular vitality, chromotherapy offers a rare clarity. When color, light, and heat are orchestrated with intention, the results are quietly revolutionary. With every color, every wavelength, and every carefully curated session at beem®, you are invited to return to yourself. Not just as you are—but as you could be.

  • What should I expect?

    Relax and unwind in your own private suite while burning up to 600 calories and detoxing from the inside out! Our full spectrum infrared saunas combine three infrared wavelengths (Near, Mid, and Far) to optimize absorption and maximize health benefits.

    beem® light sauna sessions are 40-minutes long. You can enjoy your infrared session in our Solo Saunas or bring a friend and head into one of our larger Social Saunas. Your sauna comes with built-in entertainment so you can catch your favorite TV Shows or listen to your preferred music on Pandora. Want to unplug completely and enjoy the suite’s light therapy? The choice is yours!

  • What should I wear to my light session?​

    We provide towels for your light session. If you feel more comfortable wearing clothes during your session, choose loose, breathable clothing. You may also want to bring a swimsuit if you are sweating with a friend. Less is more while allowing your skin to breathe and sweat it out. Please remove any body oils/lotions before your session.

  • What is Chromotherapy?​

    Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. During your infrared sauna session, you can choose from 8 different colors, with each color addressing your individual needs. 

  • How do you sanitize the therapy rooms?​

    Keeping our saunas clean and sanitized between each use is our top priority. Did you know that infrared heat kills 99% of bacteria and germs? This means that infrared saunas are already a very sterilized environment to begin with – but on top of that, we use all non-toxic cleaners to ensure the cleanest and most healthy environment for our guests.
