Far Infrared Saunas
heat the body while the air remains cool
Sweating begins quickly and the experience is rather
pleasant. Traditional steam saunas raise the
temperature of the air to a very high level within
the chamber to warm the body. Some people have
difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Far
Infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating
the air within the enclosure, they heat the body
directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration.
The body perspires and receives all of the healthy
benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot
air of a traditional steam or dry sauna. Far
Infrared sauna uses 110-150 F.
Stress Reduction

High levels of stress put continuous strain on the
autonomic nervous system and are one of the elusive
causes of many chronic diseases. By facilitating the
expansion of capillary vessels, thereby improving
circulation, physical stress levels are reduced. The
Far Infrared rays also trigger production of
endorphins -- the “feel good” hormones.
Detoxification & Immune
System Building
(Click

When toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon
dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or
chlorine meet large water molecules, they are
encapsulated by the clusters of water. Where these
toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked
and cellular energy is impaired. However, when a 10
micron Far Infrared wave is applied to these large
water molecules, the water begins to vibrate. This
vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which
are holding together the molecules of water. As the
breakdown of the water molecules occurs,
encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are
released. Scientists in Japan report that in the Far
Infrared wave treatment of clogged capillary
vessels, a similar process occurs; heat expands the
capillaries and then initiates the start of a
process to dissolve hidden toxins. Detoxification
from heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium
and aluminum. Detoxification from arsenic,
formaldehyde, pesticides, Agent Orange, industrial
chemicals, and gasoline. Detoxification from
alcohol, nicotine and other drugs. Because our Far
Infrared sauna operates more effectively (the body
actually sweats more) at temperatures of 60-80 F
lower than conventional saunas, the detoxification
is from 7 to 10 times greater -- detoxification of
the body on a cellular level.
Cardiovascular
Conditioning

Far
Infrared therapy has also made medical news in its
use in patients with cardiovascular conditions such
as congestive heart failure and angina, as it
enhances endothelial nitric oxide which lowers blood
pressure and improves cardiovascular function. Far
Infrared Saunas have an effect on the cardiovascular
system similar to running. The body’s natural
reaction to heat is to cool itself. It does this by
diverting blood from the internal organs to the
extremities and the skin, thus increasing heart
rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. Medical
research indicates that the use of a Far Infrared
Sauna may be as effective for cardiovascular
conditioning as regular exercise. While this effect
is beneficial to all, it is particularly beneficial
to those incapable of physical exertion.
Safety
The
Far Infrared energy is a safe form of energy. The
Far Infrared heat is, in fact, a necessary form of
energy that all living things require for optimum
health. If we don’t receive enough Far Infrared
light from the sun, we become ill and depressed. All
life forms need Far Infrared light to be completely
tranquil, calm, and healthy. Far Infrared heat is
not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of
energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level. This type
of energy travels 2-3 inches deep into the body to
increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue. Far
Infrared heat provides all the healthy benefits of
natural sunlight without any of the dangerous
effects of solar radiation. Infrared heating systems
are used in hospitals to keep new-born babies warm.
Relief from Joint Pain,
Muscle Spasms, etc.

Far
Infrared Saunas can provide relief to patients
suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, muscle spasms,
chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain
skin conditions. The Far Infrared heat surrounds us
and penetrates deeply into our joints, muscles and
tissues speeding oxygen flow and increasing
circulation. Far Infrared heat relieves pain by
expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation.
Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach
injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and
speed the healing process.
Loosen Muscles &
Eliminate Soreness
Far
Infrared heat therapy loosens muscles and relaxes
the body prior to a massage. Many massage therapists
recommend this type of therapy to provide more
thorough and effective treatments. Far Infrared heat
soothes muscles after exercise and helps eliminate
lactic acid to prevent soreness.
Weight Loss & Cellulite
Reduction
(Click

Far
Infrared Saunas purify cells, specifically the cells
inside our fat where our body stores waste and
harmful toxins (such as cholesterol and heavy
metals). In addition, it burns calories (600 up to
2400 calories in one 30-minute session) while you
relax and helps get weight problems under control.
It even improves and helps clears cellulite, a
gel-like substance made up of fat, water and waste
products trapped near the surface of the skin. Far
Infrared Sauna is one of the most effective ways to
burn calories. While you relax the body is actually
hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood and
burning calories. A moderately conditioned person
can easily sweat off 1000 grams of sweat in a sauna
(the equivalent of running about 3 miles), while the
weight of the water lost can be regained by drinking
more water, the calories will not be. The heart
receives a workout, too. Sweating is part of the
complex thermo-regulatory process of the body that
increases the heart rate, cardiac output and
metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount
of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and
subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110 F
and the body sweats out fats and toxins. Thus, body
fat gets energized and eliminated and after usage,
the blood sugar is decreased. Those who have been
unsuccessful at dieting oftentimes are toxic and
will find success after using a Far Infrared sauna
to eliminate the chemicals stored in the fat cells
that can impede weight loss.
Skin Purification

Far
Infrared heat therapy increases blood flow to the
tissue bringing with it a fresh healthy blood supply
and carries off toxins through this increased blood
flow. Sebaceous glands are softened and heated
allowing congested matter to be released.
