Inspired
by Japan.
Born in Paris.

For over 20 years, Iyashi Dôme® has been developing an approach to well-being and wellness inspired by an ancient Japanese tradition known as ‘Suna Ryoho’, and adapted to modern expectations.

 

At the heart of this journey lies a discovery, an intuition and a desire to make accessible an experience that had a profound impact on its founder, Shogoro Uemura.

The
History of
Suna Ryoho in Japan

In Japan, there are traditional, centuries-old detox treatments known as ‘Suna Ryoho’, which are mainly found in the Ibusuki region in southern Japan. For over 300 years, the Japanese have had a tradition of burying themselves in the sand at certain hot spring sites. This form of treatment allows the body to eliminate accumulated toxins through sweating and to purify itself. In these very specific locations, heat is diffused by underground hot springs and the sun, which warms the sand with its unique properties.

This natural emission of long-wave infrared radiation inspired Shogoro Uemura and led him to develop a technology based on the principles of ‘Suna Ryoho’.

The
Birth of
the Iyashi Dome

During a trip to Japan with his father, Shogoro Uemura discovered the ancient ritual of ‘Suna Ryoho’, as well as his family’s collaboration with a group of researchers studying the mechanisms of cell regeneration, particularly in relation to the effects of radiation on the body, but also the impact of a polluted and stressful environment on our organism, which clogs up our cells and, consequently, our metabolism.

Gradually, a realisation set in: the body cannot function normally if it is saturated with toxic substances.

Detoxification thus became an essential solution.

It was against this backdrop that Iyashi Dôme® was founded in 2004, with the aim of offering an approach that supports the body’s natural processes, drawing inspiration from these discoveries to provide everyone with access to treatments that benefit both body and mind through the long-wave infrared rays of the Japanese Iyashi Dôme sauna.

The
story continues

Iyashi Dôme® introduced the term ‘Japanese sauna’ in 2005, following the first articles by journalists who were discovering this previously unseen device for the first time… Since then, Iyashi Dôme® has continued to evolve.

New generations of devices have been launched, studies have been conducted, and the brand has expanded internationally among professionals in the wellness, beauty, sports, hospitality and healthcare sectors.

True to its original inspiration, Iyashi Dôme® continues to develop today around the themes of recovery, well-being and longevity, with the same commitment to quality and innovation that has driven it for over 20 years.
