February is traditionally one of the coldest months of the year here in the Midwest, but our hearts are warm at Sunlighten!  That’s because February is American Heart Month and we are proud to team up with the American Heart Association (AHA) in their fight against heart disease.   Our partnership began in 2005 when the University of Missouri–Kansas City conducted a study that showed a statistically significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after using a Sunlighten far infrared sauna just three times a week.  When the Kansas City AHA chapter saw the results, they were astonished …
