FAR Infrared Sauna
Far Infrared Wavelengths, which are nothing more than the heating element produced naturally by our sun, penetrate deep into the body’s core, seeping into our muscles, tissues and organs. This penetration causes three main effects:
First - Our core temperature is raised, which stimulates the immune system. This results in increased production of disease fighting white blood cells, antibodies and interferon (an anti viral protein with cancer fighting capability). The rise in temperature also activates our sweat glands, which is the body’s natural defense to purge itself of toxins, clean the skin and lower the core temperature so we don’t overheat.
Second - Circulation is stimulated so that blood flows throughout the body, bringing vital nutrients and oxygen to our organs as well as carrying out toxins and waste that is no longer needed. Daily 15-30 minute sauna sessions will increase the heart's pumping action as though it were performing physical exercise, and will burn between 300 to 600 calories.
Third - Sweating assists in detoxification through our largest organ of elimination, the skin. Today, we are exposed to over 400 chemicals and pollutants that did not exist 50 years ago. These toxins are in our water, food, air and countless other sources and they unavoidably get stored in our fat cells. Infrared technology has been shown to be one of the best forms of purging these toxins from our bodies. Infrared technology takes sweating to a whole new level by penentrating into our tissues and into fat cells where toxins are stored. Habitual use can break apart and cleanse fatty cells and allow the internal systems of the body to perform at an optimum level.
