Here at Detox for Life, we have a self-contained unit that emits infrared light directed at a client from multiple directions that allow for a complete reaction. The IR sauna works by having the infrared light penetrate the body and react with the person on multiple biological levels which result in several key responses within the 20-30 minute session. The sauna is set between 80°-1200F and the session is accompanied by calming music to ease people into a serene feeling.
With the use of infrared light and the elevated heat, the body is able to activate several key systems of the body. Some of the widely seen responses are the following:
- Stress Reduction
- Muscle Alleviation/Uptake in Exercise Results
- Immune Strengthening
- Better Sleep
- Brighter Skin
- Enhanced Circulation and Oxygenation
- Weight Loss
The reaction that the body performs is multi-faceted that involves most of its biological systems, primarily the lymphatic, immune, and endocrine systems. The human body can absorb IR sauna because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting better blood circulation, and the heat produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating. The skin is known in Chinese medicine as the third kidney because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating up to 30% of body waste.
Sweat also has the function of being a judicious garbage collector. During a 15-minute sauna, sweating can perform the heavy metal excretion that would take the kidneys 24 working hours. Ninety-nine percent of what sweat brings to the surface of the skin is water, but the remaining one percent is mostly undesirable wastes. Excessive salt carried by sweat is generally believed to be beneficial for cases of mild hypertension.
A metabolic by-product, urea, if not disposed of regularly, can cause headaches, nausea and, in extreme cases, vomiting, coma and even death. Sweating is such an effective de-toxifier. Sweat also draws out lactic acid which causes stiff muscles and contributes to general fatigue. Sweat flushes out toxic metals such as copper, lead, zinc and mercury which the body absorbs in polluted environments.
