Benefits of the Sauna Experience with Infrared Rays

Reduce Toxic Overload      Additional Health Benefits      Weight Loss   

The Far Infrared Sauna offers safe, comfortable, dry, low temperature heat to help remove toxins and reverse true underlying causes of disease. When used properly, it is a safe, effective, natural tool that can enhance the body's own innate healing powers.

A. DANGERS OF TOXIC OVERLOAD

We are what we don't excrete!?!

Far Infrared is thought to be 7 times more effective at detoxifying heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, and even cholesterols, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid and other environmental toxins, as opposed to conventional heat or steam saunas. It has been said again and again that, when it comes to both detoxification and nutrition:

Increasing numbers of environmental medicine authorities report that lowering our toxic burden, while increasing our level of nutrition helps the body heal itself. These experts advise that symptoms of toxic overload may include headaches, frequent colds and flu, allergy and hormonal imbalances, chemical sensitivity, fatigue, sinus congestion, joint or muscle pain, psoriasis and a variety of other skin conditions, problems with dexterity, and psychological symptoms such as reduced ability to concentrate, sleep difficulty,  changes in behavior related to undesirable changes in mood, mental confusion and impairment of memory sharpness. 

Sherry A. Rogers, M.D., leading environmental medicine authority and author of Detoxify or Die emphasizing infrared sauna rays for serious detoxification. According to Rogers, sweat is the ONLY proven method for getting the most damaging toxins/chemicals out of the body, and nothing else works! She claims that safe sweating can kill unwanted organisms like bacteria and parasites. Dr. Rogers discusses intelligent choices for reducing the toxic load on our bodies “through nutritional therapy and a unique therapy called far infrared sauna (FIR)”. Chapter IV of her book “discusses how getting rid of environmental toxins reverses disease.”

Some leading researchers in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome claim that when patients’ high toxic loads were reduced, their symptoms often improved dramatically.

How Does It Work?

Heat therapy naturally speeds up the body's natural ability to remove these toxins for improved overall health. Sweating, (combined with the healing properties of infrared rays, increases blood circulation, which further stimulates the sweat glands - helping to release even more built up toxins and wastes.

Regular use of sweating in the infrared sauna can thus help to detoxify your body, as it rids itself of accumulated carcinogenic heavy metals (e.g. lead, mercury, zinc, lead, nickel and cadmium) and other toxins (e.g. alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol).

Of course your results will be much better when the sauna is used in an overall Integrated Health effort to eat natural (organic where possible) foods grown on mineral-rich soil; get plenty of rest and sleep, exercise at least a little each day; breathe deeply of clean, fresh air; reduce re-exposure to toxins; and maintain a peaceful and stress free environment.

B. ADDITIONAL HEALTH BENEFITS

Conditions Far Infrared Is Known To Help

Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Digestive Problems, Chronic Fatigue, Eczema and Psoriasis, Weight, Arthritis, Acne, Soft-tissue Injury, Menstrual Pain, Hypertension, Asthma, Colds and Flu, Depression, Tremors, Joint Pain, Allergies, Insomnia, Candidiasis, Burns.

Far infrared heat stimulates the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus in turn, controls the body's neurochemicals which, if functioning properly improve sleep, moods, pain control, a can lower body acidic level through the reduction of stress and (acidic) toxins.

Far infrared heat has also been said to:

• Improve micro circulation by exerting strong rotational and vibrational effects at molecular level
• Enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients in the blood cell to the body's soft tissue areas
• Promote regeneration and fast healing
• Increase metabolism between blood and tissue
• Enhance white blood cell function, thereby increasing immune response and the elimination of foreign pathogens and cellular waste products
• Removesaccumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation which are often at the core of many health problems
• Stimulate the hypothalamus, which controls the production of neurochemicals involved in such biological processes as sleep, mood, pain sensations, and blood pressure.

• Increase blood circulation and oxygen supply to damaged tissues (aiding reduction of chronic joint and muscle pain or sport injuries)
• Promote relaxation and comfort, induces sleep and relieves stress
• Open pores that have been malfunctioning for years, forcing out clogging cosmetics, and loosening dry outer skin, healing acne and scars
• Combat the negative effects of toxic electromagnetic sources.
• Decreases joint stiffness, relieves muscle spasms, and leads to pain relief
• Lead to pain relief from rheumatoid arthritis

• Affect soft tissue injury and increase the extensibility of collagen tissue
• Significantly improve wound healing
• Infrared therapy in both Japan and China has proven to be outstanding for asthma, bronchitis, colds, flu, sinusitis and congestion as it clears inflammation, swelling and mucous clogged passages
• Some medical practitioners and acupuncturists now make use of infrared radiant heat to treat sprains, strains, bursitis, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and muscle paingum inflammation and post dental pain suppression
• Some dentists now make use of infrared radiant heat to treat gum inflammation and post dental pain

C. WEIGHT LOSS

Toxins (ingested, breathed in, absorbed via the skin) which the body cannot metabolize become stored tend to be stored in fat cells creating the Chronic Toxic Overload mentioned above. These toxins tend to be stored in fat cells.

The safe, deep heat of far infrared rays causes fat cells liquify and creates a vibrational effect on the cells' water clusters causing your water molecules begin to split into micro-molecules. This process makes the toxins within them easier to eliminate. Together, these dual processes work to release toxins and fats into the eliminative systems of the body.

How Does This Work?

At 110 degrees F (43 degrees C) stored fat is broken down and becomes soluble. If far infrared heat liquifies fats and expedites its removal through the body's elimination system, then it is easy to see how weight loss is another benefit of regular use of your infrared sauna. At least 300 calories are burned for every 30 minute period of time spent in the sauna.

Combine your regular exercise program with your sauna use to lose weight in both invigorating and relaxing ways for maximum success!
