Infrared Sauna

Infrared Sauna Bathing has many benefits.

• Detoxification of heavy metals and toxins- your skin is your largest organ, and one of the ways in which your body can rid itself of toxins and other harmful minerals or metals through sweat.

• Boosts cognition and mental health- sauna bathing can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. This in turn will reduce anxiety and depression. Twenty year studies in Finland have shown that there is a reduction in instances of dementia and Alzheimer’s from those individuals who regularly used a sauna.

• Improves heart function- when you sweat from exercise, the body produces nitric oxide to improve blood flow and control blood pressure. Time in a sauna can have the same effect.

• Improves arthritis and fibromyalgia- Researchers from Saxion University of Applied Science in the Netherlands found that infrared sauna treatments can help reverse chronic pain with little to no side effects. They also found that a significant percentage of patients experienced decreased symptoms of pain and stiffness.

• Aids in weight loss- The higher temperatures cause your heart rate to increase in a way similar to exercise. This increase only causes a slightly higher calorie burn than sitting at rest. The sauna may be able to help you burn those extra calories.

• Improved markers of diabetes and metabolic disorders- A 2010 study published in the Journal of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine found that far-infrared sauna use is associated with improved quality of life in people with type II diabetes, even when compared to other lifestyle interventions. People with diabetes often suffer from complications such as pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, congestive heart failure and other heart problems, but sauna treatment seems to improve pain threshold and contribute to overall well-being — naturally treating diabetes symptoms.

• Improves skin health- Spending time in saunas means you’re getting improved circulation to your skin, which is effectively going to make your skin look healthier and better. The increased circulation means more nutrients are being delivered to your skin, and more blood flow will see your skin glow with a rosier, healthier complexion. Through sweating, you’re removing impurities (aka toxins) from your skin, and the process is highly restorative and rejuvenating. Cleaning out or unclogging your pores can also minimize future breakouts.

• Strengthens immune system- The heat generated by an infrared sauna stimulates energy at a cellular level which, in turn, increases the body’s production of white blood cells. These cells form a component of your blood and act as your immune system’s first line of defense when infection strikes.

• Lowers inflammation- Infrared sauna therapy treatment addresses not only the symptom of inflammation, but may also address the underlying cause of stress response within the body. Firstly, it reduces inflammation by hyper oxygenating the blood cells causing optimal circulation throughout the body’s network. Secondly, it coaxes the body into states of relaxation and reduces the side effects (inflammation) of chronic stress response.
