Pain Relief
The infrared energy released by an Infrared Sauna Sauna can penetrate up to 1.5” deep into muscle tissue. 93% of this energy is absorbed through our skin. By heating these tissues, we experience a vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels which can be beneficial in reducing muscle spasms, joint stiffness and achiness, as well as general aches and pains due to conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is also evidence that when used 24-48 hours post injury, infrared energy can reduce the time it takes for your body to heal sprains and strains. Experience a reduction of pain and swelling almost overnight.
Detoxification
Since the skin is our largest organ, it plays an important role in eliminating undesirable toxins. Some physicians refer to the skin as a third kidney. The deep penetration of Infrared technology allows removal of toxins stored in fat cells. Detoxifying in a Infrared Sauna helps rid your body of potential carcinogenic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. Cleanse your body with ease.
Weight Loss
As you bask in the comforts of an Infrared Sauna your body is actually hard at work attempting to maintain a constant core temperature. Our body does this by increasing peripheral blood flow and by sweating. An average sauna user can produce 500 grams of sweat and burn 350 calories during a therapeutic sauna session. This is the equivalent of running 2-3 miles. An infrared sauna can also help rid your body of cellulite which is a gel like substance made up of fat cells, water and wastes. Feel those extra pounds melt away.
Cardiovascular Health
Infrared heat therapy is one way to achieve cardiovascular conditioning effects even without exerting yourself. During a sauna session, vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels occurs which increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. This provides a workout for your heart as the body attempts to cool itself in diverting blood from internal organs to the extremities and the skin. Research suggests that regular infrared heat therapy has been beneficial in reducing blood pressure. Relax and get your heart in shape.
Beautification of Skin
Do you want to improve the tone, texture and elasticity of your skin? By sitting in an Infrared Sauna the increased blood circulation to the skin brings fresh nutrients to the surface. At the same time, profuse sweating is assisting in the removal of toxins that accumulate deep within your pores such as make-up, dirt, lotions and conditioners. Look and feel better today.
Tissue Elasticity
The warmth of an Infrared Sauna will relax your muscles, increase flexibility and range of motion. Studies show, tissues heated to 130° and then stretched have exhibited an elastic elongation that persists long after the stretch is removed. This was not the case when the same tissues were stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Therapeutic benefits are also seen in working with ligaments, tendons, fascia, joint capsules and symposiums that have become scarred, thickened or contracted. Improve flexibility beyond your expectations.
OTHER NEW AND EXCITING BENEFITS
Cancer Therapy
Some researchers believe that infrared therapy can help stimulate the body's immune system by elevating body temperature. Many viruses, bacteria and tumor cells are thought to have poor tolerance to heat compared to normal healthy cells. A 30 minute infrared sauna session can cause a temporary 3° increase in body temperature. This increase has been shown to stimulate white blood cells which may improve your body's immune system. Given the human body's effectiveness in fighting disease by inducing a fever, an infrared sauna can assist the body in the fight of various diseases.
Chronic Inner Ear Infections
Infrared sauna therapy sessions can open nasal passages and therefore assist the sinuses in draining and preventing speed of infection to the middle ear.
What is Far Infrared heat?
Why is it better than regular heat in a conventional sauna?
Far infrared heat is used to directly penetrate the body’s tissues to a depth of over 1½ inches right into the muscle.
Its energy output is tuned to correspond so closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.
A conventional sauna (steam sauna) must rely only on indirect means of heat: First, on air currents and then, direct contact of hot air with the skin to produce its healing effects on us.
With Far Infrared heat and our unique Carbon Wave 360 Panels, less than 20% of the far infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies.
Thus a Far Infrared Sauna can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth much more efficiently than a conventional sauna.
Are these saunas safe?
Absolutely This is not new technology, and has been used for thousands of years. The sun has many amazing health benefits for your body. Unfortunately because of the depleted ozone layer, many of the sun's rays can be very harmful to the human body. This unfortunately makes the sun something for us to avoid, instead of something for us to submerge ourselves in for all of its healing properties. Imagine if you could have access to all the sun's healing rays on a daily basis without any of the dangers. Well that's exactly what the infrared sauna does.
Many doctors all over the world are starting to recognize the many benefits infrared saunas can offer their patients, from detoxifying the body to increased energy, burning calories, lowering blood pressure, pain relief, decreasing inflammation, alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms and just overall good health. With the way the world is today and all that we are exposed to, having your own infrared sauna will make a world of difference in the quality of life you can experience.
