A Step to Better Health

The Science

Infra red saunas differ from traditional saunas because they operate at a temperature of 30-60 degrees C compared to a traditional sauna that operates at 85-110 degrees C.
This allows you to be able to breathe comfortably and enjoy the benefits for extended periods of time.
Because the Infra red saunas rays safely and comfortably penetrate the skin up to 2" deep, even your organs and tissues are stimulated. This induces sweating 2-3 times as much as a conventional sauna.
Infra red saunas rays or FIR are completely safe, naturally occurring and beneficial to the human body.
They are so safe that doctors use them in hospitals to warm newborn babies.
To fully understand FIR, imagine placing a thermometer in the sun and one in the shade.
The thermometer in the sun is warmed by FIR and will read higher, but the outside temperature is still the same.. Infrared heaters in the sauna operate the same way as natural sunlight but without the harmful side effects of solar radiation.
Effortlessly detoxify and remove stored toxins from your body.
Scientific analysis shows infrared heat induced sweat contains 5-6 times more toxins, fat and impurities than normal sweat. Relax in Infra red saunas and enjoy unsurpassed ability to eliminate stored waste (metabolic wastes, environmental toxins, city pollution, fat, cholesterol, heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine - source: Zane R. Gard, MD & Erma J. Brown, BSN, PhN TLfDP, October 1992). One U.S. study has indicated that people using a conventional sauna were eliminating 95-97% water in their sweat. Those using Infra red saunas, however, were found to be eliminating only 80-85% water, while the remaining 15-20% was mostly composed of undesirable elements such as sodium, fat soluble toxins, sulfuric acid, uric acid, toxic heavy metals, ammonia, and cholesterol.

Benefits

*Effortlessly detoxify and remove stored toxins from your body
Sweat 2-3 times more than traditional sauna at temperatures from 30-60 degrees Celsius.
Increases blood circulation.
*Assist in Weight Loss and Control
One 30 minute session burns up to 300 calories and an increase of up to 800 calories from
your daily caloric burn. Reduces fat and cellulite.

Infrared therapy stimulates the cardiovascular system supplying the conditioning benefits
of continuous exercise. It has been used to treat high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
arteriosclerosis and congestive heart failure.
*Natural Pain Relief
*Natural Body Healing
Infra red saunas therapy has been effective in providing pain relief to those suffering from back
pain, sprains, muscle spasms, strains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, headaches,
and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.
*Relaxation and Stress Relief
Infra red saunas therapy has been shown to promote a re-balancing of the body's hormones through it's effect on the autonomic nervous system,thereby reducing the negative physical
impact of stress on the body. Reduces stress and fatigue.
*Improve your immune System
A session in Infra red saunas raises your core body temperature resulting in an artificial
fever, as a result your body's immune system is stimulated and strengthened. Promote
respiratory and sinus decongestion.

Heat Treatments Get Rid of Toxins

By Raymond Francis, M.Sc., reprinted from "Never Be Sick Again"

Not only do Infra red saunas feel good, they are good! Saunas get your heart beating and your blood circulating, helping the body to detoxify in unique and important ways. Toxins do the damage, and saunas help with damage control. Saunas or other treatments help to accomplish detoxification in the following manner: A layer of fat and oil exists just below the surface of the skin. Heat from the sauna increases skin temperature, causing those fats and oils to "melt" and ooze out of the skin's oil glands. As sweat and oil are secreted, the toxins dissolved in them are secreted as well. By excreting these toxins and then washing them off your body, your toxic load is lowered and cellular health improves.
Choose a temperature that can be tolerated for an extended period of time-thirty minutes to an hour or more. The point is not to sweat out a lot of water, but to rid your body of oil-soluble toxins. Our skin contains sweat glands and oil glands, both of which help us detoxify. Sweat gets rid of water-soluble toxins, and even helps to eliminate toxic heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium. Oil glands help remove oil-soluble toxins that the body would otherwise have a difficult time eliminating. We have created a world filled with oil-soluble toxins such as gasoline, solvents, pesticides and ingredients in toothpaste and personal care products, and the body is not able to dispose of them efficiently. The longer the skin is heated, the more oil-soluble toxins are eliminated.
Be careful not to overheat! The challenge is finding an environment where you can keep your skin temperature up for an extended period of time without overheating or dehydrating. Overheating and perhaps feeling dizzy can happen easily if you stay in a steam room, a hot tub or the top bench of a hot sauna too long. Choose a "low temperature" sauna (35 - 45 degrees), and use it for an extended period of time-an hour or more is best-though you may have to work up to this duration gradually. Remember: Drinking adequate amounts of water before, during and after your sauna is essential in order to prevent dehydration.
A good supplement program, containing fat-mobilizing vitamins and essential fatty acids makes the sauna even more effective.
Be sure to shower afterwards; prevent those toxins from reabsorbing back into your body by washing with a nontoxic soap.
Taking Infra red saunas or other "heat treatments" is not a luxury, but like exercise, is a physical responsibility and an important element of the physical responsibility and an important element of the physical pathway. Incorporating saunas after exercise is even better. Exercise begins to mobilize toxins and saunas continue the process. You may need to make a few sauna visits before you can tolerate extended periods of time, but the benefits of these heat treatments are incredible. These treatments feel good for very good reasons; they provide beneficial physical stimulation-including increased lymphatic and cardiovascular circulation, as well as the removal of toxins-all of which are good for the health and function of your cells.
