Infrared Sauna Therapy
What is an Infrared Sauna?
Compared to traditional Finnish style saunas, which operate in the 80-90 degrees Celsius range, infrared saunas are low heat saunas that operate at 40-50 degrees Celsius. While traditional saunas use powerful heating elements, infrared saunas use ceramic plates that emit infrared radiation, a type of electromagnetic radiation found at the opposite end of the spectrum as UV radiation.
When you enter a traditional sauna, your skin and lungs come in contact with intensely hot air. Infrared saunas are different as they directly heat the outer layer of your body, including skin and fat tissue, without causing the air to get very hot. This is more comfortable to the user and more energy efficient.
While many people enjoy the intense heat of a traditional sauna for a short period of time, most people must get out before they begin to sweat appreciably. In an infrared sauna the heat feels less intense but you still break a sweat. Since most people easily tolerate these conditions, users can perspire over an extended period of time for maximum health benefits.
Infrared Sauna Therapy can help with the following:
Detoxification | Weight loss | Breast cancer prevention
Skin purification & rejuvenation | Psoriasis | Sluggish circulation
Relaxation | Stress management | Fatigue | Chronic Pain | Fibromyalgia
Arthritis | Back Pain | Muscle tension | Heart Disease | Hypertension
Asthma | Chronic Bronchitis | Allergies | Chemical Sensitivity
What's the Deal with Detoxification?
When exposed to toxic substances, like heavy metals and pesticides, the body removes these ‘toxins’ from circulation and eliminates them from the body through the kidneys, bowels, skin and lungs. When these routes of elimination become overwhelmed, the body’s fat tissue becomes a holding tank for the remaining toxins.
When fat breaks down, the toxins stored inside it are released into the bloodstream where they can be removed from the body by entering the urine, stool, sweat and exhaled breath. Infrared saunas stimulate fat breakdown (lipolysis) which allows toxins to be released from storage.
Once mobilized from storage, toxins need to be eliminated from the body. The infrared sauna strongly stimulates perspiration, allowing effective elimination of toxins including lead, nickel, cadmium, aluminum, mercury, dioxins, bisphenol-A, brominated fire retardants, furans, pesticides, phthalates, PCBs, PVC and formaldehyde. Many of these substances are known to be toxic to the nervous system, immune system and endocrine system, and many are carcinogens.
For example, bisphenol-A (or BPA) found in plastics acts as an endocrine disruptor and has been linked to breast cancer. Avoiding BPA ingestion and using a sauna regularly can assist you in lowering your body burden.
