Sauna treatments have been part of many cultures for centuries; however with the high level of pollution and toxins you are exposed to nowadays, infrared heat saunas are becoming more of a necessity than a luxury in helping to keep the body in tip top shape for the optimal maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of infrared sauna treatments are astounding.
Do you really desire good health? Lowering the toxic load of all the cells of your body is the way! Infrared sauna therapy provides major benefits in this regard. The infrared sauna treatments heat the layer of fats and oils that exist just below the skin surface. The fats and oils ‘thin’ and are then easily excreted through the pores.
The lymphatic system is part of the human immune system. It runs throughout your body, circulating and protecting you from bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. Fats taken in by eating and drinking, pass through the lymphatic system before being processed and released into the blood circulatory system. The lymphatic system also removes excess fluids from the body. The heart pumps blood throughout the body. This is cardiovascular circulation. This action delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and removes carbon dioxide and waste products from the cells. If all your blood arteries and veins were laid side by side they would be long enough to circle the earth more than twice. Infrared sauna baths stimulate both the lymphatic and cardiovascular circulation. These are great physical benefits, your heart beats faster as in exercise, and your immune system is jolted into action.
We carry around a lot of junk in our bodies. These are toxins. How do toxins end up in your body? You inhale them, eat them and they are absorbed through the pores of the body. Some examples are coloring your hair, using toxic underarm deodorants, inhaling gasoline or cigarette fumes, drinking impure water, eating foods sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, contaminated fish, cosmetic use, breathing in smog, etc. These are just a few examples of the numerous sources of toxins. Infrared sauna therapy aids in the removal of toxins by inducing the opening of the pores and sweating. This is beneficial for the health and function of the body cells. (Hint: shower after an infrared sauna session using a non toxic vegetable based soap).
Skin contains both sweat glands and oil glands. Both are agents of detoxification. Oil glands remove oil soluble toxins (found in items like gasoline, pesticides, make-up etc.) and sweat glands remove water soluble toxins (such as mercury found in fish, etc.). Longer heating time is needed to eliminate oil soluble toxins. Infrared heat saunas operate at a more comfortable temperature than traditional steam saunas. The chances of overheating and getting dizzy are lessened by the use of an infrared sauna over a traditional sauna. An infrared sauna is a more tolerable environment to keeping your skin temperature up comfortably for an extended period of time. (Hint: drink water before, during and after the session to prevent dehydration).
Infrared saunas use much less electricity than traditional saunas and therefore are environmentally friendly. The heat in an infrared sauna is radiant heat. Radiant heat warms only the body not the air. When the energy touches you, it converts to heat. This is like sunshine in your sauna. Let the sunshine in!
