FAR INFRARED SAUNA

Far Infrared Saunas heat the body while the air remains cool

Sweating begins quickly and the experience is rather pleasant. Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Far Infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, they heat the body directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration. The body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam or dry sauna. Far Infrared sauna uses 110-150 F.

Stress Reduction

High levels of stress put continuous strain on the autonomic nervous system and are one of the elusive causes of many chronic diseases. By facilitating the expansion of capillary vessels, thereby improving circulation, physical stress levels are reduced. The Far Infrared rays also trigger production of endorphins -- the “feel good” hormones.

Detoxification & Immune System Building

When toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by the clusters of water. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. However, when a 10 micron Far Infrared wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released. Scientists in Japan report that in the Far Infrared wave treatment of clogged capillary vessels, a similar process occurs; heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Detoxification from heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum. Detoxification from arsenic, formaldehyde, pesticides, Agent Orange, industrial chemicals, and gasoline. Detoxification from alcohol, nicotine and other drugs. Because our Far Infrared sauna operates more effectively (the body actually sweats more) at temperatures of 60-80 F lower than conventional saunas, the detoxification is from 7 to 10 times greater -- detoxification of the body on a cellular level.

Cardiovascular Conditioning

Far Infrared therapy has also made medical news in its use in patients with cardiovascular conditions such as congestive heart failure and angina, as it enhances endothelial nitric oxide which lowers blood pressure and improves cardiovascular function. Far Infrared Saunas have an effect on the cardiovascular system similar to running. The body’s natural reaction to heat is to cool itself. It does this by diverting blood from the internal organs to the extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. Medical research indicates that the use of a Far Infrared Sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular conditioning as regular exercise. While this effect is beneficial to all, it is particularly beneficial to those incapable of physical exertion.

Safety

The Far Infrared energy is a safe form of energy. The Far Infrared heat is, in fact, a necessary form of energy that all living things require for optimum health. If we don’t receive enough Far Infrared light from the sun, we become ill and depressed. All life forms need Far Infrared light to be completely tranquil, calm, and healthy. Far Infrared heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level. This type of energy travels 2-3 inches deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. Far Infrared heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation. Infrared heating systems are used in hospitals to keep new-born babies warm.

Relief from Joint Pain, Muscle Spasms, etc.

Far Infrared Saunas can provide relief to patients suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain skin conditions. The Far Infrared heat surrounds us and penetrates deeply into our joints, muscles and tissues speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation. Far Infrared heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed the healing process.

Weight Loss & Cellulite Reduction

Far Infrared Saunas purify cells, specifically the cells inside our fat where our body stores waste and harmful toxins (such as cholesterol and heavy metals). In addition, it burns calories (600 up to 2400 calories in one 30-minute session) while you relax and helps get weight problems under control. It even improves and helps clears cellulite, a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and waste products trapped near the surface of the skin. Far Infrared Sauna is one of the most effective ways to burn calories. While you relax the body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood and burning calories. A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 1000 grams of sweat in a sauna (the equivalent of running about 3 miles), while the weight of the water lost can be regained by drinking more water, the calories will not be. The heart receives a workout, too. Sweating is part of the complex thermo-regulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110 F and the body sweats out fats and toxins. Thus, body fat gets energized and eliminated and after usage, the blood sugar is decreased. Those who have been unsuccessful at dieting oftentimes are toxic and will find success after using a Far Infrared sauna to eliminate the chemicals stored in the fat cells that can impede weight loss.
