Detox, Cleanse, Regenerate
Whether you are experiencing fatigue, brain fog, headaches/ migraines, nausea, digestive dysfunction, constipation, bloating/ gas, diarrhea, skin issues, acne, eczema, psoriasis, body aches and pains, stiffness, water retention, lymphedema, stress, anxiety, depression, and/ or any bodily dysfunction, detoxing the body can help to improve and possibly even alleviate symptoms and in some cases, can help
to heal, regenerate, and restore function. For those who have a high toxic load, they may experience a healing crisis; however, most people after gentle detoxing experience an increased sense of well being.
Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy, commonly known as a colonic, is the gentle infusion of temperature/ pressure controlled, filtered water into the colon using FDA approved equipment. As water hydrates the colon, waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. This may assist in cleansing the colon of accumulated waste material, gas, mucus, and/ or undigested foods and toxins. Gut/ digestive health and a strong immune system are key elements in supporting overall health.
Although there are no symptoms as a direct result of colon hydrotherapy, colon cleansing can sometimes stimulate the release of toxins from the body, which can result in detoxification symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and/ or fatigue. However, every experience varies from client to client. Some clients report less constipation, more regular bowel movements, an emotional release in conjunction with their physical release, and/ or an increased sense of well-being and overall health. For all clients receiving services, we recommend hydrating well after sessions to help aid in the detoxification process.

Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage (BELD)
Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage (BELD) is a type of therapy that uses a light beam generator, known as the Inspiration wand, which emits a heartbeat pulsation of negative ions, noble gases, light energy, and harmonic sounds, that when combined with a manual lymphatic drainage massage, helps improve the flow in blood and lymph. This process loosens waste from cells, which assists in the removal of toxins, poisons and trapped proteins, literally cleansing the spaces between cells and allowing waste products, excess fluid, & toxins to slowly and safely flow out through normal channels. It is faster and more complete than manual techniques used alone, allowing the therapist to accomplish in an 80 minute session what would take many hours without the vibration energy technology.
The lymphatic system transports approximately 45% of cell waste, moving toxic substances out of the body through the bloodstream & colon. The lymphatic system handles toxins that enter the body through external sources, such as food or pollution, but also handles internally produced toxins that are a result of normal metabolic processes. The lymphatic system produces lymphocytes, which help defend the body against antigens, distributes immune cells throughout the body, & absorbs lipids from the intestine & transports them to the blood.
Lymphatic flow can stagnate for many reasons such as fatigue, stress, emotional shock, injury, surgery, lack of physical activity, dehydration, and/ or certain food additives/ poor diet. If lymphatic circulation slows down, the supplying & generation of cells is poorly carried out.
Consequently, toxins accumulate, hastening the aging process & opening the gates to various health problems. Lymphatic congestion hinders the body’s ability to heal itself due to buildup of toxins/waste. The lymphatic system is interactive with every organ in your body & is directly related to immune function & efficiency.
Our technique is slow, subtle, & uses gentle sweeping movements, mimicking the natural rhythmic pumping of the lymphatic system and putting the body into a parasympathetic state of rest and relaxation. The result can enhance recovery rates by loosening proteins that are stagnant, and causing retained fluid & congested areas to flow. Stagnation is reversed, and the lymph system is now free to perform its normal cleansing functions!

Amethyst Crystal BioMat & BioBelt
The Biomat & Biobelt utilize a combination of far infrared rays, negative ions, & the conductive properties of amethyst channels. This may help to relax the muscles and increase local circulation and can help to combat the detrimental effects of positive ions by repelling the positive ions and breaking up congestion within the lymphatic system. Other potential benefits as indicated by the Richway International manufacturer include: pain relief, immune system boost, reduced stress & fatigue, hormonal balance, removal of toxins, and rejuvenated skin cellular functions. The Biomat is included free of charge during your colon hydrotherapy and BELD sessions. It can also be done as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with a PEMF treatment.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
Maintaining homeostasis, or balance within our bodies is largely dependent upon efficient cellular function: energy production/ absorption, waste elimination, communication and regeneration. Cells communicate via electromagnetic frequencies; however, if this process is disrupted and cells are not properly communicating or receiving the energy they need to function optimally (either from environmental, physical, and/ or emotional stress or injury, EMFs, heavy metals, and other toxins) the body begins to deteriorate and dysfunction ensues.
The PEMF mat emits a pulsed electromagnetic energy that supports cellular metabolism and regeneration by targeting ion transport. PEMF therapy helps to improve blood flow through the entire vascular system, which includes the regeneration of blood vessels, as well as healthier tissue, cells, and nerves. In addition, bones are strengthened, the reorganization of proteins is accelerated, and the bodies weak electromagnetic fields are strengthened and stabilized. Better circulation helps to improve oxygenation of tissues and removal of metabolic waste, creating a better pathway for healthy, energized blood cells to all areas of the body, enabling faster recovery from injuries and encouraging a stronger immune system.
In a study conducted by NASA, research reflected that the FDA approved PEMF therapy was effective in addressing lack of energy, problems sleeping, flu-like symptoms, joint and muscle pain, inflammation, and improved circulation.
Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna
According to Brenda Watson of “The Detox Strategy,” “the skin is the largest eliminating organ of your body because of its size. It actually eliminates more cellular waste through the pores than the colon and the kidneys combined.”
As such, sweating in an important bodily function that acts as our body's built in detoxification method. The Clearlight Sanctuary Retreat 4 person Infrared sauna offers a great way to sweat, but moreover is one of the only true Full Spectrum infrared saunas available offering advanced near, mid and far infrared technologies. As your body absorbs the infrared heat, this will increase thermal energy, mimicking the effects of a great workout, stimulating the breakdown of fat cells, and releasing stored toxins to flow out through safe, normal channels by inducing a deep and relaxing sweat.
The Near Infrared penetrates the deepest to increase your core thermal energy. Near infrared is associated with photobiomodulation which directly produces energy within the cells through ATP stimulation. Mid infrared wavelengths temporarily increase circulation through vasodilation, promoting temporary increase in blood flow and temporarily elevating heart rate and overall metabolism. Far infrared wavelengths feel very natural and normal to us, and our energy is temporarily enhanced and strengthened. The Sanctuary Retreat is large enough to allow for movement, exercise, and yoga within the cabin.
Regular sauna use can support weight loss and increased metabolism, provide temporary muscle pain relief, better sleep, detoxification, improve appearance of cellulite, ease joint pain and stiffness, aid in stress & fatigue reduction, and improve skin.
Ionic Foot Cleanse
The IonCleanse by AMD is a relaxation and detoxification therapy. Unfortunately, we live in an increasingly toxic world where we are constantly exposed to new toxins and chemicals in our environment, in the foods we eat, and the products we consume in addition to increased EMF exposure. These toxins can get stored in the body’s joints, organs, arteries, nerves and tissues, disrupting their ability to function and thus creating an environment for dysfunction and disease.
Some researchers have found that most toxins are positively charged when they reside in the body. These positive ions can contribute to systemic overload. However, the IonCleanse by AMD ionizes the water, as H20 is split into OH- and H+ ions. These negative ions act as a magnet and attract and neutralize oppositely charged toxins.
