Health Benefits of Infrared Saunas are said to include
i. Better Circulation
and Increased Energy
The sauna emits FIR energy that is
absorbed by human cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated,
resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism.
ii. Weight Loss
FIR Sauna heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs
and endocrine glands resulting in substantial caloric loss in a sauna heat session.
iii.
Cardiovascular Health
The FIR Sauna increases heart rate and
blood circulation, crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner
organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure.
iv.
Speed Recovery from Injuries
For injuries, FIR generated heat stimulates
vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and
strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury.
v. Detoxification
The quicker metabolic rate causes extra toxic waste products to be purged from the body through
the skin, during perspiration. The skin is often referred to as the 3rd kidney, because it is believed to be responsible for
eliminating 30% of the body's waste.
vi.
Stress Reduction & Relaxation
FIR Sauna heat treatment before a
massage also helps prepare a client by creating an overall relaxing effect. It loosens the muscle tissue so the therapist
can do a more thorough and effective massage.
vii.
Skin Beautification
For that sought after healthy glow, FIR
Sauna heat therapy allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy
tone and texture. A FIR Sauna heat bath also provides a mild cleansing of the skin.
viii. Improved Immune
System
By creating an "Artificial Fever", FIR heat has a positive effect on the immune
system. Often misunderstood, fever is a natural healing response of the body. The function of the immune system is increased
naturally during a fever, while virus and bacterial growth is slowed, weakening its hold. This helps the body ward off invading
organisms. A FIR heat treatment in the early stages of a cold or flu has been known to stop the disease before the symptoms
occur.
