Infra-red Sauna Therapy

Saunas have traditionally been used as part of a cleansing and relaxing regime and in more recent times have been incorporated as part of a pre and post sports or exercise routine to ease muscular aches and pains.

The far infra-red sauna takes things a step further due to the slow heat which penetrates below the skin, allowing profuse sweating over a longer period of time.

By far the most important health benefit of a far infra-red sauna is its efficiency in removing toxins from the body.

Infra-red therapy uses a safe form of energy that heats objects rather than the surrounding air. Unlike conventional saunas which induce perspiration by sheer force of heat, infra-red saunas heat the deepest organs and tissues of the body by penetrating the infra-red band of light 1 1/2 inches below the skin surface.

This causes the body to sweat at a temperature of only 35-45?C. This heats the internal tissues without overheating the skin and respiratory system as ordinary saunas do.

As it penetrates the deeper, denser tissues, the infra-red heat softens deposits of crystallized toxins and acid wastes in the joints, nerves, and connective tissues allowing them to be dissolved and excreted via the bloodstream, lymphatic system, and through the skin as sweat.

This kind of heat is particularly effective for eliminating heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, zinc and nickel from the tissues as well as toxins like nicotine, alcohol and chemicals.

Infra-red therapy helps eliminate excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat from the body. Sweating is a part of the complex thermo-regulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate and improves the heart-pumping capacity of the heart.

It also uses up energy to burn fat as at 43 degrees celcius fat becomes water soluble and can be dissolved and disposed of by sweating. A single sauna session may burn up as many calories as a 30 minute jog, so you can lose weight at the same time as detoxifying your entire body!

The deep penetrating heat of infra-red saunas dilates blood vessels increasing blood flow and improving circulation which in turn allows more oxygen to reach the muscles and other body tissues.

This makes infra-red sauna therapy very effective in treating arthritis, rheumatism, muscular spasms, soft tissue injuries, and pain relief.

Infra-red sauna therapy has been used safely for over 30 years in hospitals for premature babies and in the United States NASA uses it in their spaceships to provide health and safety benefits to their astronauts.
