This is a therapeutic walk-in sauna that ncreases circulation and encourages perspiration for detoxification. The infrared sauna utilizes a dry environment and lower tempratures than traditional steam saunas. This increases tolerance for longer, deeper heating of body tissues. It promotes profuse perspirating and provides beneficial metabolic, circulatory, immunological and dermatological effects.
Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and wastes. Daily sweating can help detoxify your body as it gets rid of an accumulation of highly toxic heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, and cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sulfuric acid, and other organic and inorganic compounds.
As you relax in the gentle heat, your body is working to produce sweat,
pumping blood, and possibly even burning calories. According to the Journal
of the American Medical Association, in a single sauna session you may
burn as many calories as you would rowing or jogging for 30 minutes. European
beauticians have traditionally used saunas to help eliminate cellulite.
Since infrared radiant heat warms three times as deeply as conventional
saunas, it is significantly more effective in reducing cellulite.
The deep heat of an infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate,
bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. In Europe,
radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many
forms of arthritis. It has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains,
neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculoskeletal
ailments. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products
and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleated muscles so they recover
faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, promoting greater
flexibility and range of motion. Stiffness, aches, and soreness that come
with aging can be reduced or eliminated.
The Infrared Sauna’s deep heat raises your body temperature, causing
an artificial fever. Fever is the body’s natural mechanism to strengthen
and accelerate the immune response. This enhanced immune system, combined
with improved elimination of toxins and wastes, increases your overall
health and resistance to disease.
Perhaps the most immediate effect a person experiences is simple relaxation.
Just a few minutes in the gentle warmth of an infrared sauna gives you
an overall massaging effect, soothing jangled nerves and knotted muscles.
You will feel rejuvenated and renewed, restored in both body and mind.
The profuse sweating achieved in the infrared sauna carries off deeply
embedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving the skin glowing and
immaculately clean. Increased circulation draws your skin’s own
natural nutrients to the surface. You will see improved tone, elasticity,
texture, and fresh color. Increased blood circulation has also been shown
to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts. In addition,
open wounds heal more quickly, reducing scarring.
As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works
harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, providing
the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac
output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops,
thus boosting overall cardiovascular fitness.
