FAR Infrared Sauna
Far Infrared wavelengths, which are nothing more than the heating element produced naturally by our sun, penetrate deep into our body’s core, seeping into our muscles, tissues and organs. This penetration causes three main effects.
The First effect is that it raises our core temperature which stimulates the immune system, resulting 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.
The Second effect is that it gets our heart to start pumping faster so that blood flows through out 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 hearts pumping action as though it were performing physical exercise, and will burn between 600 to 900 calories.
The Third effect is through the detoxification process. Today, we are exposed to over 400 chemicals and pollutants that did not exist 50 years ago. These toxins are in our water, food from pestisides, air pollution, lotions, perfumes, creams and countless other sources and they are unavoidable and 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 and habitual use has demonstrated to break apart and cleanse the fatty cells and allow the internal systems of the body to perform at an optimum level.
