Let’s face it, we sadly now live in a toxic world. So the Far Infrared sauna is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to release toxins, while also enjoying the many other health benefits it has to offer.
The body just loves it, as the toxins are able to be released through the sweat glands. The skin is like our third kidney. Often the body holds onto toxins until a later date, as not to over tax the kidneys and the liver. So it loves it when it can use the skin as a means of detoxing. It makes it very safe and effective means of detoxification. Most people will start sweating profusely after 20 minutes.
It is not as hot as a traditional sauna and most people are surprised how easy and enjoyable it is to sit there for 45 mins.
It is also fantastic when used in conjunction with massage. Helping to relax and warm the muscles ,for a more effective deeper release during massage. It’s such an excellent combination. We just love it , as your muscles just melt when we start to work on you.
The Far infared sauna also helps with muscle recovery after sports especially wonderful after a days skiing or a marathon.
Also fantastic for weight loss. You burn 600 calories in half an hour.
Stopping smoking. 3 days in a row and almost all of the nicotin is out of your system . Making it easier to give up.
If you feel sick or a cold coming on it is also a great way to sweat it out and boost the immune system.
With all these benefits you can see why the far infrared sauna is fast becoming one of the healthiest things you can do for your body.
The heat is produced by infrared rays, a form of energy that is just below visible light on the spectrum. It’s what warms your skin from the sun even on a cold day. Infrared rays have been used in medicine for many years. Used mostly in physiotherapy. Amazingly this technology was been mostly developed by NASA. NASA has found that the far infrared heat is the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flights. The radiant heat penetrates to a depth of 35-40mm, soothing and relieving muscles and tissues. The benefits are many, including deep cleansing and detoxification, reduction of muscular stress, tension and physical fatigue, giving comfort and relaxation of an aching body, improved body conditioning and wellbeing. It also burns calories (600 in 30 mins. ) Boosts the immune system and circulation. You will also notice improved skin tone and softness .
The sweat produced in a far infrared sauna is estimated to contain about 20% toxicity compared to 2-3% from other saunas or from exercise. Evidence of this can sometimes be seen as colour on the towel. Read the story about how the 911 rescue workers were detoxified using far infrared Sauna. There is plenty of information out there.
