Infrared Saunas Work

Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air in order to warm the body. Therefore what you get is just hot air. Infrared saunas work differently. They produce the same infrared energy we get from the sun. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, far-infrared radiant (FIR) saunas emit an infrared wavelength that heats the body just like when we lay in the sun. Because the rays are absorbed directly into the body, one can work up a sweat at less intense temperatures than a traditional sauna (100 - 130° F. vs. 185-215° F.) In an infrared  sauna, heat is just a by product, it's the infrared rays that are the most beneficial for the body.

While the infrared causes you to sweat, the composition of chemicals found in the sweat is  quite different from that produced by a steam bath, traditional sauna, or exercise. The sweat of people using an infrared sauna will not only contain water, but will also contain cholesterol, fat-soluble toxins, heavy metals (such as mercury, aluminum, and arsenic), nicotine, sulfuric acid, ammonia, and other dangerous environmental poisons. Normal sweat produced by other  methods, including exercise, is mostly water and sodium chloride. Sweat produced in this way  is 97% water and 3% toxins but sweat produced in an infrared sauna is 85% water and 15%  toxins.

Most of us don't spend enough time outdoors so we don't get enough infrared in our bodies and we don't work hard enough to sweat, therefore an infrared sauna offers us the opportunity to  do both while relaxing in the sauna. A 30 minute sauna produces as much sweat as a 6 mile  run or burns 800 calories

The regular use of an infrared sauna has a cumulative effect on the body, meaning that using it on a regular basis magnifies it's benefits:

1. Increase blood flow by promoting dilation (expansion) of the microcirculatory system of capillaries.
2. Reduce muscle spasms as muscle fibers are heated.
3. Remove toxins from the site receiving FIR waves.
4. Assist in the reduction of swelling and inflammation by improving lymph flow.
5. Reduce soreness through direct action on both free nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. At the cellular level, researchers have discovered the FIR wave Lenghts between 7 and 14 microns;
   1. Stimulate enzyme activity
   2. Promote the adhesion and osmosis of water molecules across the cellular  membrane.
   3. Attract calcium ions to the cellular membrane. FIR wave of the sun are that part  of the light spectrum most responsible for the ripening of fruits which converts  other carbohydrates into sugars. This progress of reducing acidity can be tested  by putting half a lemon in the sun for one or two days or on an infrared coated  plated for about one hour. The infrared exposed half will be significantly sweeter than the other half.

Far-Infrared Skin Purification

Infrared Saunas help clear up cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. European beauty specialists routinely incorporate daily saunas in  programs to reduce cellulite. The heat of the sunlight sauna warms three times as deep as  conventional saunas. It is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite.

Scars fully formed, even keloids, may be gradually softened. Burns and other wounds or  incisions may heal with significantly reduced scarring.

Other skin benefits:

• open wounds heal quicker with reduced scarring
• help acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns and any skin lesions or cuts
• removes roughness, leaving skin baby smooth and soft again
• firms and improves skin tone and elasticity
• burn up to 600 calories in a 30 minute session
• cellular purification
